Yeah, he is fully capable of his own decision making(as horrible as most of them are)& this is looking more like a vanity project, with a distraction side dish & a few desserts 🍮.
This conflagration is more concerning as it reeks of a conspiracy of zog from the Turner diaries.
Grateful to Stephanie for writing this piece. I absolutely agree that Donald Trump bears 100% of the responsibility for sending American men and women to fight and die in an illegal, immoral, ill-conceived, and incompetent war of choice. The choice was his (even though the Constitution delegated it to Congress) and the buck stops with him. I hope that some day we will have a clearer account from journalists and historians about why he made the choice he did, but whatever the answer, the most powerful man in the world (God help us) is responsible for his own illegal choices.
And at the same time...
Benjamin Netanyahu selfishly and cynically launched a war for his own personal/political purposes -- on this, see my conversations with Avrum Burg and Eran Etzion on The Debrief (former Israeli Knesset Speaker and former Deputy Head of Israel's National Security Council, respectively) -- and enlisted Donald as a co-perpetrator. Donald Trump is still 100% responsible for his own actions; my previous sentence does not negate that. But Netanyahu is playing an extremely dangerous game and, dammit, Jewish American leaders should be calling him out for it.
After all, Netanyahu won't suffer the consequences for his actions. But among the long list of those who will are Jewish Americans who are experiencing rising antisemitism, threats, and attacks. (Speaking the truth about this does not absolve those who commit antisemitic attacks.) Surely, Netanyahu would've known that attacks on Diaspora Jews would increase if he launched a war against Iran and Lebanon, had he taken a minute to think about it. But it's clear that he couldn't care less.
Yeah Stephanie so tired of this Netanyahu-led-Trump-into-this-catastrophe bullshit. Trump and his mafioso fascistic thug pals relatives and sycophantic war hawks have worked tirelessly for years to instigate this devastating war and found a more-than-willing accomplice in a fellow mafioso thug whose fascistic Israeli co-conspirators stood at the ready for the power/property grab and incidentally to perpetrate a little genocide. Israel has been the U.S. boots-on-the-ground on-the-neck of the Palestinian people so that we - the other Jews - will suffer the wrath of anti-semitism for generations to come.
Hi Stephanie, I agree with many of your comments and analysis! I'm very curious to know if you deliberately left the distinction between "all Jews" & "Zionist illegal Israel" out of the discussion?? This discussion invites the huge elephant in the room but then doesn't explore it! To be honest, I don't know what to think about this part. For your further knowledge during the US/Israel war of aggression on Iran, they bombed an old & historical synagogue where Iranian Jewish community worshiped! What do you call this brutality? Do you acknowledge that Israel is an illegal & apartheid regime and Netenyahu is the childkiller?

I put the blame on Trumps greedy selfish ego maniacal self aggrandizement and foolish behavior
