Critics have said the US decision to retreat from the region has led to a greater likelihood of conflict
As Israeli jets struck targets in Iran on Friday morning, the US moved quickly to distance itself from Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to target Tehran in an escalation that threatens an all-out war in the Middle East.
The unilateral strikes indicated a collapse of Donald Trump’s efforts to restrain the Israeli prime minister and almost certainly scuttled Trump’s efforts to negotiate a deal with Iran that would prevent the country from seeking a nuclear weapon.
It also will probably lead to an Iranian retaliation that could develop into a larger war between Israel and Iran, a new conflict that Trump has publicly sought to avoid.
He is definitely able to do it. Over the past months he’s shown that he can act unilaterally on pretty much anything, especially on foreign policy, and no one stops him. He could stop weapons shipments to Israel tonight and if that happened Israel wouldn’t be able to support it’s 4 front war on the region and have to come to the negotiating table. He just doesn’t because he’s a coward and afraid of the Israel lobby.
He’s already stopped aid to ukraine, no reason he can’t do the same for Israel.
You’re forgetting one key thing. Republicans hate Muslims more than they hate Jews.
Also, their nutty evangelical base believes that Jews need to be in Bethlehem in order for the second coming of Jesus to happen or something.
