It is reported that Trump is strongly considering jumping into the Iran-Isreal conflict. He has issued a demand for complete Iranian surrender.
This is typical bully type behavior. Israel can handle Iran on their own without our help. We already provide intelligence. It is just the common case of a bully, which Trump is wanting to get in on the action vs a perceived weaker opponent.
I certainly agree that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. But it is not our battle right now. Let the Israelis handle it.
I don't think Trump has thought out all the possible consequences of jumping in. And unlike his first term he is not surrounded by military people that can tell him not to. He is surrounded by yes men.
For example, Iran has a military treaty with Russia. Maybe Trump is banking on his good friend Putin won't honor that agreement. Or maybe he is banking on Russia being too bogged down in Ukraine to get involved in a war somewhere else. I wouldn't count on either of those scenarios.
And should Russia come to the aid of Iran, then the NATO allays in Europe will jump in to help the U.S. And then of course there is China, which also has a loose treaty agreement with Russia that no one even knows exactly what it says. If China honors that agreement and gets involved, you have world war 3, with many of the nuclear powers involved. All because Trump wants to (or may be considering) escalating a situation that doesn't need escalating right now. let the fucking Israeli's handle their business.
