Netanyahu never understood Trump before leaping with both feet into illegal war and human rights violations. Let me set this straight.
Trump is only on the offensive as long as his personal defense is in place. By screaming at Israel to reign in military aggression Trump appears, even if for a moment, to have a conscience. Trump has no conscience. He, however, has rather interesting self-preservation skills. That comes from years of abusing financial institutions through bankruptcies and economic dependency. Trump is quite used to being an economic nightmare and gaining favors from government so the economy doesn’t disintegrate. He doesn’t care about the world economy. He is the world’s worst nightmare. He expects he will be just fine.
But, as to Lebanon. Of course the aggression for real estate is always shrouded in self-defense requiring military strength, demolition, and death. It is just the nature of the beast. Russia would understand. This facade reminds me of a rain shrouded tornado.
At some point in his first term Trump promises Netanyahu the full weight of the USA military as an expansionist power. Just that simple. To cement the promise Trump was awarded a square in Jerusalem and a future community settlement in his name. Who knows what kind of personal gratitude he received. After all, his son-in-law is an Orthodox Jew. It all seemed very natural to Trump. Demolishing settlements and replacing them with Trumpian cities of prosperity and military control. What could be better?
Now, in his second term the promises came due. Hence, Hegamony Hegseth and bizarre use of the USA military while backing away from alliances that did not serve Trump’s and Netanyahu’s goals. Basically, Trump’s administration is the reverse of international morality and the use of the USA military as a terror machine.
Don’t deny it.
That is exactly the role Trump has assigned to the USA Navy as a blockade to ship traffic entering the Persian Gulf. Iran comes to heel to all his demands or Iran sinks into economic ruin along with the rest of the world. Sooner than later Iran will be an impossible entity to handle according to Trump, hence, the burgeoning idealization of putting American troops into Iran. Probably begun on Kharg Island. The island is the best stationing place for USA Marines with the Army to follow. The ideology is all to predictable. This isn’t about a nuclear capacity. It is about real estate, petroleum, and the assault of religious ideology. After all, Trump is the chosen one.
No different than Netanyahu’s expected loyalty, Trump takes no enemies in his ambitions and the Arab World expecting their own religious ideology to serve them is not among Trump’s priorities once his own success of complete dominance is within his sites.
Stop playing the silly game of believing one can control Trump through greed. The greed is satisfied long before his final ideology of control.
