My 2 cents - Netanyahu talked him into it. [View all]

From what I’ve read mostly here:

The CIA assessed that the likely successor to Ayatollah Khomeini would like be very hard line Republican Guard.

(6 days ago) Trump's top general warns of munitions shortages as Iran strike risks grow

US intel did not suggest a preemptive strike from Iran before US-Israeli attacks, AP sources say (Sunday Congressional briefing)

Sen.’s Warner AND Ted _______ Cruz both said that they saw no immediate threat from Iran.

Homeland Security is on impulse power during the funding fight.

Iran was relenting to EVERYTHING at the negotiations. Possibly because they saw what happened in Venezuela, sure, but without the threat of Iran (for 30 years) Netanyahu has nothing.

I know, Epstein, but Trump has weathered that for months and RW media (Fox) has ignored it and even rationalized it for months.


If there any other reasonable conclusion?
