[It's not just Satanyahoo that Trump is in the bag with, it's also the Christian Zionist crazies and the jewish lobby that controls US politics and foreign policy. Either Trump is too timid to say NO! or he's totally with them and their warmongering bullshit. Either way it sucks for the rest of us in the USA. Emphasis is mine in the following article . . . SC]

By Paul Craig Roberts - June 17, 2025

Trump says he KNOWS that Iran is “very close to having nuclear weapons.” How does Trump KNOW this? Netanyahu told him.

What did the US intelligence community tell Trump? American intelligence told Trump that US intelligence believes “that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003.”

But Trump doesn’t care what the US Director of National Intelligence tells him is the assessment of US intelligence. “I do not care what she [Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard] said,” Trump declared. Netanyahu knows better. So Trump supports Israeli acts of aggression against Iran and informs Iran that if they respond to acts of war the US will destroy Iran.

This is the behavior of a crazy person.

Trump is a massive failure as president. He has allowed a genocidal monster to take over the foreign policy of the United States.

Trump has permitted Netanyahu to drag America to the threshold of war with Iran.

Trump has permitted the genocide of the Palestinians so that Gaza can be turned into a resort.

Trump has stood aside while someone green-lighted an attack on Russian strategic forces. Trump has no interest in discovering how such a reckless and potentially catastrophic act of war could happen.

Do the Russians sitting passively on their butts know what this means? Do the Chinese? The Indians? The Europeans? The Americans?

The Iranians are hapless. They talk a lot and do little. They stupidly announce what they are going to do before doing it, thus undermining the effectiveness of their own actions.

The designated enemies of Washington and Israel have left the initiative in the hands of Washington and Israel, and have been knocked off one by one.

In his latest crazed announcement, Netanyahu added nuclear-armed Pakistan to the list of countries to be overthrown, thereby expanding the list from 7 designated enemies of Israel to 8. So far 5 have been destroyed–Iraq, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Somalia. A 6th–Iran–is under attack with the 7th, Saudi Arabia, waiting in the wings. And now Pakistan is added to the list.

Will Turkey be the 9th country added to the list?

The inability of Muslims to stand together doomed them. Israel has used Washington to throw Muslims into the trash bin of history.

Israel’s hold on the US government makes it impossible for Washington to represent American interests. In the entire US Congress there is only one member, Rep. Thomas Massie, who is not in Israel’s pocket. The number of Jews on the judicial bench, in executive positions in the media and finance, and on university faculties and administrations is vastly in excess of their percentage of the US population. America has had holds on appointments of white heterosexual males in order to advance DEI, but never holds on Jewish appointments. Unlike Muslims and gentiles, Jews stick together, and they align with Israel.

A country that does not control its own policies is not sovereign. The United States is not a sovereign country.

Netanyahu has started a war that Israel Cannot Win and he Has Passed the War on to Trump:
