OK, so clearly we are at an unprecedented moment.
Talk about how we ended up here.
And not only that, there's another important element here, and that's after last summer's conflict with Iran,
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, starts making the case that there needs to be another round of strikes, that last summer's war didn't finish the job.
So last December, he goes to Mar-a-Lago to meet with President Trump.
And during that meeting, we believe that Netanyahu basically asks Trump's permission for Israel to strike Israel.
sometime in 2026, particularly ballistic missile sites, because this is of urgent concern to Israel.
Iran's missile program, as we've seen, is quite capable of hitting Israel.
And so even as Trump is talking about the protesters,
Netanyahu is also making his own case for a joint U.S.-Israeli conflict to be far more ambitious than what happened last year.
And the question, of course, is all of these diplomatic talks are happening is if they fail, we're building up this huge military presence in the Middle East around Iran.
What kind of attack will the United States be willing to do?
Would it be limited?
Would it be large?
And what would the goal of any such attack be from the United States perspective?
That was the biggest question over the last several weeks as this military buildup in the Middle East was happening, the largest military buildup since the Iraq War of 2003.
The military is planning for a very large-scale conflict, but what would the president decide and why and why now?
And how is the Trump administration justifying this conflict?
What is the reason for war?
What is the evidence of the threat?
