Did Netanyahu talk Trump into going to war with Iran?

[kentuck]

We have heard different versions of that story.

But, in my opinion, Donald Trump voluntarily agreed to attack Iran so that Israel could go into Lebanon and Beirut and try to annihilate Hezbollah and Trump agreed to be the diversion for Netanyahu while he invaded southern Lebanon.

The purpose for Israel was to wipe out Hezbollah.

Trump had no idea of how his attack on Iran would be met? He was surprised when Iran attacked their neighbors who had American bases in their countries. He was further surprised when they blocked the Strait of Hormuz and much of the world's oil supply.

Trump was unable to reach an agreement with Iran mostly because Israel kept attacking in Lebanon. At one time, it was reported that Trump became angry with Netanyahu and lost his temper.

Donald Trump tried to do a favor for Netanyahu and got our country enmeshed in a war where we do not see any easy exit.

It is up to the US Senate to save Trump from his blunder and to try and save some sort of honor for our country. They have no choice but to insist that our troops withdraw from the area, in my opinion.

He has gotten us into one helluva mess.

1. Bribed, blackmailed or both.

Piss doesn’t do anything unless he sees himself benefitting from it. Whether it’s saving his own ass from being exposed in the Epstein files or being exploited because of his venal ways, he’s very easily motivated to do terrible things.

2. Does a shark shit in the sea? Does a bear shit in the woods? Does a Farty-seven shit in his pants?

3. He's such an insecure narcissist, all it would take is maximized flattery and convincing him it was

both his idea and something he'd been wanting to do and which would make his legacy forever as the one who decimated Iran and its nuclear objectives with no more effort than it took to have Venezuela throwing up its hands.

So, I suppose it is all in how you define "talking Trump into it." Manipulated Trump into thinking it was HIS idea (and yes, one he'd had in the past).. yes. Trump is a fool and we will all pay the price.

4. "Talk into" is heavy euphemism for "tell" or "direct" I guess...

5. I am afraid all it took

was for Netanyahu to tell him that prior presidents refused to do it. They were cowards and trump is the strong man. In that vein, I believe trump wants to use nukes.
