Netanyahu knew he had the trifecta of a dumbass narcissist US President (Trump), a full-blown genocidal Islamophobe SoD (Hegseth) and a small man neocon SoS (Rubio), ran the plate on them and convinced them to do the thing every President since Reagan has been marginally smart enough to pass on.

It’s almost like the UK’s right-wing press doesn’t actually reflect public opinion but instead the fevered imaginations of a very small group of sociopaths.

"Get it in your heads - Trump has not done this for the people of Iran. "He's done this because he likes the idea of war when he thinks it will profit America." What's Trump's endgame after US strikes on Iran?
