(22,943 posts)Trump and BiBi give a press conference with a map of Iran carved up as resort developments for their rich friends to profit from.
They are both far right madmen. I cringe every time I see posters here defending the Far Right Extremist Netanyahu.

Also, Bibi was smart in allowing the US to ride front, so we can take all the blame.
Trump was probably conned into believing this was going to make him look like a strong president.

(23,902 posts)Telling the soviet ambassador to surrender because they had defeated France and England and Russia had no hope.
The ambassador replies, If England is defeated, whose bombs are we hiding from?
Because he was having this conversation in a bomb shelter during allied bombing...

Add that to the habit he has of taking at least partial credit for things that other people have done and this is just how he talks.
While I'm certain we are providing some targeting and intelligence information and assisting in coordinating defense systems, Trump isn't directing any part of the operation. I'm pretty sure that will change immediately though if Iran pulls a stupid and attacks any of our troops or assets in the region.

That's very smart thinking on the Iranian leadership.
