> But to truly and fully understand this[,] people need to put a real effort and research the region.

The US defense apparatus has been doing just this for quite some time. And netunyahoo has been saying Iran is 'weeks away' from having nukes for 30 years, now.

Opinion? israel has some real juicy stuff on trump, and he's doing his best to not get the information released by doing netun's bidding. I am thoroughly appalled at trump's General Officers allowing him to get into such a mess.



I think it’s less blackmail and more the Israeli government has learned it can simply act and expect the US to back them up to save face. Rubio admitted as much with his initial statements after we attacked Iran. Netanyahu can currently reliably expect the US military to back up its foreign policy with or without buy in ahead of time.


This might be true but the current conflict was a long planned joint operation. Centcom was not just prompted to join in, but was the lead plan maker and execution of the attack was entirely in sync with Israel.


I do not think it was as coordinated with US leadership as that statement implies even if they had discussed it prior. Rubio’s initial statement was very telling. Now Trump says it was all Hegseth’s idea, so the story isn’t even consistent now.
