Netanyahu Asks Trump for Strikes, Again; World Acts Shocked, Again
According to The Independent, former Israeli PM Netanyahu, a man who has warned about Iran for literal decades, is once again dialing up the urgency for military action against Tehran. This isn't groundbreaking news; Netanyahu has consistently pushed for confrontation, whether with Bush in 2002, Obama in 2012 over the Iran deal, or even Trump during his first term. The 'existential threat' siren
consistently blares, yet somehow, Iran persists, and the region remains in perpetual crisis – a crisis that often benefits those who champion endless conflict. One might wonder if the U.S. intervention Netanyahu seeks will be as 'successful' as previous forays into destabilizing the Middle East. Meanwhile, the very same voices who decry 'escalation' in other contexts will likely find this request
perfectly reasonable, perhaps even 'strategic.' Because for some, the only 'strategy' is more bombs, more intervention, and a convenient amnesia about the devastation left behind.
