    Netanyahu is not a moron, making Iran weaker wasn’t his goal. Forever war was, to have a foil to play for domestic political purposes.

      Not to mention Gaza and the West Bank has been out of the news cycle. The colonists have been doing some heinous shit since the war happened.

      It’s his “keeping himself out of jail” plan. Just like with Thwump. The only way not to go to jail is to stay President.

      Yep, but his biggest blunder was to trust Trump to help him out all the way. What makes Netanyahu a moron in my books is that now after a few years Iran will be stronger and led by military. It will hurt Israel in the long term.

        That’s going to depend on whether US support for the Zionist project will be as unconditional as it has been so far.

          The electorate on both sides have definitely soured on Israel, organically. I only expect the evangelicals to stay the same. AIPAC is having to reach deep into its war chest to buy elections and increasingly obfuscate its contributions through shell PACs now.

      Exactly what he did with Hamas all these years.

      The villain loves creating his own enemies to keep his political career going.

      The whole point of the war was to stop oil sales in chinese yuan. It’s as simple as that.

      Gold has been surging and that was because they country was trading gold for yuan to buy oil. Now they can’t do that. Oil is traded in USD again.
