LIAR: How Trump went from opposing Israel's strikes on Iran to reluctant support

[spanone]

RELUCTANT? BULLSHIT.


WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump had opposed Israeli military action against Iran, favoring negotiations over bombing. But in the days before the strikes began, he became convinced that Israel’s heightened anxiety over Iran’s nuclear enrichment capabilities was warranted.

After a pivotal briefing from the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force Gen. Dan Caine, on Israel’s plans and U.S. options for supporting its operation, he gave tacit approval to Israel to have at it and decided to provide limited U.S. backing.

When Caine briefed him on June 8, Trump was increasingly frustrated with Iran for not responding to the latest proposal for a nuclear deal. He still remained hopeful that his Middle East peace negotiator, Steve Witkoff, who had been scheduled to conduct another round of peace talks in the region Sunday, could soon get an agreement over the line.

Trump was also facing private pressure from longtime allies who advocate more isolationist policies and wanted him to stop Israel from taking military action or at least withhold U.S. support for any such operation.

1. Reluctant support

The people supporting MAGA are the ones who have spent 50 years screaming carpet nuke the whole middle east back to the stone age. The money people are slightly more sensible. It is going to be easier to get at the resources with an Iranian government friendly to the west.

So I think they are all in on "bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran". Just my humble opinion.

I mean he was just blathering the other day about how the Germans and "Japs" should be the bad guys and Russia was on our side so why can't we love Putie. He's Nutz.
