Thanks as always Francisco. Buying

all you say. But let’s go beyond Drumpf’s Orwellian Deep State

duplicity. For it is Israel, (tragically

ever ultimately spineless Netanyahu’s

Israel), that holds the supreme card

now in this war. That is Israel’s nuclear, neutron bomb, and EMP

arsenal, which is absolutely capable of both totally wiping out Iran in twenty minutes: and alternatively

with its constrained use of Tactical

Nukes, Neutron bombs, and Electro

Magnetic Pulse weapons: can wipe

out top to bottom both the entire regime and all of its Nuclear weapons

establishment, including sub-mountainous Fordow, making it

radioactive for a thousand years.

The only real super imperative

existential question is whether the

heretofore ever buckling and Israel

betraying Netanyahu, whether by

design, inertia, or divine providence

has become the leader he has always

pretended to be. And has found the

will to use these weapons to truly

save Israel for generations, rewrite

the whole Middle Eastern, and

world wide Jewish status equation.

Trump be damned. Netanyahu has

the world’s fourth biggest Nuclear

Arsenal on Earth at his command.

He has the additional option of letting

Trump know in the absence of U.S.

Bunker Busters, he is going to use it.

And then in the case of refusal does

immediately use Israel’s nuclear

arsenal, thus guaranteeing Israel’s

Real Unconditional Victory, With all

of its wonderful consequences.

I can hear all the gasps and vapors and see all the world’s pearl clutching

But none of them matter a tinker’s

damn. And Israel will finally have

become a truly Victorious Sovereign

Nation. Trump and his evil empire

made irrelevant in determining the

Jewish People’s fate. We owe the

rest of the World absolutely nothing

and ourselves everything. When Israel is led, willing, to do everything and anything necessary to destroy its openly genocidal enemies,

as the Torah commands,

No one else stands a chance,

.

I agree! Netanyahu should use nuclear weapons to destroy Fordow. And the EMP option to paralyze Iran and allow it's people to rise and depose the jihadi regime.

Will he? Has he become the leader he pretends to be? I doubt it.

From what I have read the Ayatolla and his supportive Islamists Jihadists are fairly weakened by Israel's brave courageous actions. It is time for the Iranian people to rid themselves of the Islamic Regime who have brutally suppressed their freedom for too long. The US has allowed this awful situation to fester and grow over decades now. Certainly, the Jihadists will continue with the help of the Left. This weird ideology is now part of many countries. Israel needs to destroy Fordo to complete destroy the nuclear threat from Iran. We are unsure if that can be done by Israel alone. Europe has allowed too many immigrants to enter with the same warped ideology. The US has many people who are anti-Israel because of the Media's portraying Israel as the aggressors after October 7. The Universities will continue to hate Israel even if they don't target civilians. Jihadists will continue to Hate Jews and the Left is enabling this. Thank you, Francisco, to alerting us to the illusions and contradictions in what we are observing.

I agree that we should be watching what Trump does rather than what he says. And it's likely that you're right - "everything Donald Trump does is State behavior."

But so far every point you brought up to show that he is not really supporting Israel is based on what he is SAYING.

And I'm not criticizing that. It's devilishly hard to figure out what -- if anything -- he is actually DOING.

Is he "rushing to save the ayatollahs"? Or is he just rushing to talk about it?

He talks about a lot of things that clearly didn't and won't happen... Closing "a deal" with Iran (they said 'you're kidding, right?'). Ending Israel's military operation (it's still going strong). Recruiting Putin to mediate peace between Iran and Israel (Putin politely backed away). Saving the "Iranian Empire" (there never was such a thing to begin with). Nor was there any such thing as a "brutal slaughter" on Iranian soil by Israel.

So yeah, he threatened Iran personally with destruction, and that didn't happen either. Except that it did, through Israel. And as an Israeli, I don't like him taking credit for it. But OTOH he didn't do anything to stop us. So far.

Maybe Deep State can run circles around us, but Trump is TALKING in circles! He gives me a headache.

Thanks for your comment, Hannah.

Well, I beg to differ. I gave a long list of things that Trump is doing, as I have in other articles.

It is true that a good part of this article focused on what Trump says. But then I showed that he went through and did what he said. He said he wanted to save the "Iranian Empire" and then he tried to set up a negotiation meeting with the Iranians so they can cry Uncle and he can stop the Israelis.

Moreover, sometimes what you say is an action. And this was a case in point.

First, telling the whole world that Israel is supposedly conducting a brutal slaughter is an act of psychological warfare against Israel, with very real world consequences.

And, in the context of this war, for Trump to announce that he will stop the Israelis if the Iranians agree to negotiate--that's an action too: it is an act of diplomacy that can have very serious consequences if the ayatollahs grasp at Trump's lifesaver.

But the problem the ayatollahs have right now is internal. They have to move within their own grammar, and there are lots of true, true believers there who, right now, probably cannot countenance a surrender to the 'Zionist Entity.' Not until they are entirely broken. They are jihadists, after all.

for sure Trump is seemingly doing very little to help Israel. His propaganda team is pushing the 'we can't fight for the Jews' mantra instead of the more accurate 'we screwed Iranians in 1979, and now we're going to help make things right'. The US would sacrifice soldiers for the liberation of Iraqi islamists--but not for Iranians. And most people are too ignorant to understand any of this...
