The trouble with war is that you know how it’s going to start it but nobody knows how it’s going to end. We have two narcissistic megalomaniac leaders who started this war, each with their own motivations. The one in the White House claimed for a year that he ends war, and doesn’t start them while taking credit for ending some wars that never existed.

And then we have the leader in Jerusalem who has let war go to his head. He self-promoted himself as Mr. Security and October 7 proved him to be quite the opposite. He was laser focused on Iran and through his blindness and misconceptions, paved the way for the worst attack in Israel’s history and the worst day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust.

On October 7, it was clear that we were in a war. It was a war that was declared on us but one that could have ended so much sooner with bringing all the hostages home, if not for the political self-interests of the Prime Minister who kept the war going.

For years, Netanyahu drove into the heads of everyone he addressed, that Iran was the single existential danger to the State of Israel. He wasn’t able to convince Obama or the Congress at the time not to sign a nuclear agreement that would delay and possibly eliminate the advancement of an Iranian nuclear weapons plan. There are still many experts who strongly believe that a nuclear weapons program was not even part of the Iranian plan, just the threat of one.

When Trump entered the White House, Netanyahu jumped at the opportunity to convince his BFF to exit the agreement and that the Iranians would beg him for a better agreement. That didn’t happen and Trump blames Netanyahu and holds a grudge towards him.

Again, it is strongly believed by those same experts that the exit of the US from the agreement was the actual trigger for Iran to go into overdrive to enrich uranium and reach the potential of a nuclear weapon, if not the weapon itself. The Iranian regime  made it quite clear that they would not let the US or Israel dictate anything to them.

We all know the history of the 12 day war with Iran this past June. Trump declared victory and stated innumeral times of the total destruction of Iran’s nuclear plants and their nuclear program.

A similar thing happened in Israel. In addition, with the end of the 2 year October war, Netanyahu also declared the complete weakening and devastation of Hizbollah and their capabilities to terrorize northern Israel.

Announcements by both blowhard leaders have proven utterly false.

I’m not going to address here........
