What are the implications of the Iran war for Trump and Netanyahu?

Host (Jennifer Welch or Angie Sullivan) 0:05
The war in Iran is impulsive. It is an absolute mess. It is spiraling out of control. Israel and the United States are starting to realize that regime change is not going to be an option. And so they're looking for off ramps. Or are they? We know Donald Trump is looking for an off ramp. But what about Bibi? And I have some stunning analysis from a retired U.S. Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson. You will not want to miss this. Listen to this.
Lawrence Wilkerson 0:33
I come from an administration of George W. Bush and Richard Bruce Cheney that committed war crimes, war crimes that Colin Powell and his lawyer, Will Taft, and I agonized over in trying to present some message to the American people about them. This administration has committed more war crimes in the last few days than I think any country since Adolf Hitler committed. And that is an incredible condemnation of this entire process. We have bombed civilians relentlessly. We have bombed a school. We have bombed a hospital.

What off-ramps are being considered by Trump and Israel?

Lawrence Wilkerson 1:11
We have struck facilities in the nature of Iran's oil capacity that is now putting black poison all over 10 plus million people.
Host (Jennifer Welch or Angie Sullivan) 1:23
So this guy worked under the George W. Bush administration, the neocons. This guy is a colonel. This guy has insight and a mindset as to why the Pentagon and the Joint Chiefs advised Trump not to do this, but Trump wouldn't listen. He wouldn't listen to them. As always, he listens to other people other than American intelligence. Continue on.
Lawrence Wilkerson 1:50
So this is a war with long legs.

What shocking insights does Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson provide?

Lawrence Wilkerson 1:53
Trump has completely misinterpreted it. The only one who's interpreted it correctly is Bibi Netanyahu. And I think he's ready to use a nuclear weapon should it become as bad as it looks like it might right now, because Iran has not.
Host (Jennifer Welch or Angie Sullivan) 2:08
Okay. You heard it right there. Trump has completely miscalculated this and Bibi Netanyahu, he has wanted this for 40 years.

How has the current administration's actions been compared to historical war crimes?

Host (Jennifer Welch or Angie Sullivan) 2:19
This is a bizarre obsession. And Israel has nukes. And Israel has a media blackout of how bad everything is getting hit over there. And this is where we have the weakest American president that has been idiotic enough to take the advice of a war criminal. But think about it. This is Trump's peer. Trump is a war criminal. Again, bombing Gaza, bombing Iran, schools, he doesn't care. So Benjamin Netanyahu, remember when Trump pulled the chair out for him? Just complete American weakness to a war criminal. If we were a country with moral clarity, when Benjamin Netanyahu touched ground here, he would be wearing bracelets. And he would be turned over to the ICC. And I think this guy is spot on. This is Colin Powell's former chief of staff.
Host (Jennifer Welch or Angie Sullivan) 3:18
This guy knows what he's talking about. This is what the Pentagon warned the United States about. And Benjamin Netanyahu, more than likely, he knows the ground troops, what a disaster that's going to be. And Israel has nukes. So remember how crazy that is. So we have smart people in this country. The president simply doesn't listen to them. Instead, he listens to a real estate guy named Steve Witkoff, who With Lindsey Graham and with Benjamin Netanyahu and Jared Kushner all tag-teamed, the guy whose brain is totally cooked and convinced him to go to war with Iran, global markets, you know, complete catastrophe. All of our allies in the region hate our guts now. And here's Steve Witkoff on TV just yesterday.
Host (Jennifer Welch or Angie Sullivan) 4:06
Play the clip. You see this ending, this war.
Unknown 4:13
I don't know, Sarah. I know this, that President Trump is the wrong guy to go up against. That's what I know.
Host (Jennifer Welch or Angie Sullivan) 4:22
Are you kidding me? That guy. That guy, how are you gonna, he doesn't know. He has no idea. This is insane. It is utterly insane. You heard retired Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson. The army, the military, the Pentagon is full of people that understand the geopolitical problems and tactical issues and long-term implications of doing this shit, who understand the culture, Steve Woodcock, he doesn't know. He doesn't care. Steve Woodcock is the guy whose sons are making billions of dollars. He's making billions of dollars. It's high times. He's hanging out. This is the guy who gets dog walked by Vladimir Putin. That is Trump's top foreign policy guy that he sends around.
