Axios: Israel Urges U.S. To Join War With Iran

This happened yesterday.

As of last night, the answer was still no.

I believe this is the first time in history that Israel was told we weren’t going to fight their wars. I am also not optimistic that the Trump administration or Congress will hold out indefinitely. Even if Trump puts the brakes on this, it won’t stop Mike Johnson and John Thune in the House and Senate.

Axios:

“Israel has asked the Trump administration over the past 48 hours to join the war with Iran in order to eliminate its nuclear program, according to two Israeli officials.

The big picture: Israel lacks the bunker buster bombs and large bomber aircraft needed to destroy Iran’s Fordow uranium enrichment site, which is built into a mountain and deep underground. The U.S. has both within flying distance of Iran. …

A White House official denied that on Friday. A second U.S. official confirmed on Saturday that Israel has urged the Trump administration to join the war, but said currently the administration is not considering it. …”

The vibe that I am getting from the Trump administration is that a casus belli is needed.

The Trump administration is willing to go to war with Iran, but the politics of doing it both within Trump’s own base and in the country at large are so dicey that we need Iran to make the first move. We need the Mossad to launch some type of false flag attack on American forces … a Pearl Harbor or “Remember the Maine” type incident that can used to close ranks around the flag and the president.

Israeli propaganda is backfiring and has failed badly to move the needle and drum up public support for the war. MAGA is shifting in the opposite direction and is becoming more skeptical of Israel.

Note: This is a very disturbing report from Antiwar.com.
