Bibi has trump on a string … unctuous flattery is directing US military action

I seriously doubt he did this for Israel. He wants to show everyone America comes first, but he is still master of the universe.

A very sober assessment of the situation. We have a long track record of failure following military interventions of this type.

Gone from virtually all coverage is Trump's mental condition. His disease addled brain is like a Lotto tumbler. Anything can pop up and out. There is no logic, only raw impulses and sick grievances. Here's a good read that should keep you awake at night:

Netanyahu started a war that he knew full well he couldn’t finish (just to stay in power and out of jail). Shame on Trump for taking the bait or being complicit (whichever version you choose to believe), for ignoring the Constitution, and for not considering the full consequences of his actions. Now that Trump has involved the U.S. in this conflict, he expects the rest of the world to join his CRAZY Caravan, get involved, be as impetuous as he was, and clean up the mess he created…well, they aren’t his loyal subjects, they aren’t his puppets, and they aren’t that stupid; he has given them NO reason to put their faith or trust in him or our once great country.

No consultation with congress about this undertaking has been unsettling for me. I always knew it was up to congress to make a decision about war. Jen Rubin’s live streams yesterday and today have only confirmed what I already knew. Brian O’Neill has laid it out well here.

"In a nationally televised address Saturday night, Trump described the airstrikes as a “spectacular military success,” claiming that the targets had been completely and totally obliterated.” "

Does anyone in their right mind believe the world champion liar? He probably did this mostly to help his big oil buddies to profit even more and donate more billions to him.

The 'stars' don't seem aligned for lasting peace, for sure.
