So what can Trump do?
I think, you know, who knows for sure, but my surmise is looking at this...
is that Trump has really no choice but to play hardball with Netanyahu in ways that he has never done and in ways that no American president has ever done with an Israeli prime minister.
Yeah, he would have to play hardball in ways that you're just saying you find unimaginable and which I find in a certain sense unimaginable as well.
But what you want to understand is
And you understood this before February 28th.
And you told Trump that he would be remarkably foolish to start a war against Iran.
He didn't listen to you.
He didn't listen to his advisors.
He didn't listen to a lot of people.
Okay.
But yeah.
But...
Anyway, he started this war.
He knew, yeah.
And he is in deep, deep trouble, as is Bibi Netanyahu, by the way, right?
He's in deep, deep trouble too, just like Trump is.
He's in a no-win situation.
If he bucks Trump, he's in real trouble.
And if he doesn't buck Trump, he's going to be clobbered inside Israel because his critics, the opposition, is going after him for being a pussycat, for not being willing to say no to Trump.
