No shit, where do you think he got the idea?

Bibi was facing a long prison sentence pending a corruption trial 5 elections ago, he's cancelled everyone due to "wars" that he's started.

The only time I've seen trump smile with Zelinaki, is when he said they had to cancel an election due to war.

If this blows over somehow before midterms, trump will start a new war. Literally the only reason this happened so far ahead of midterms, is they had to meet Israel's religious calendar for the holy war.

And I wish to fuck that was a joke.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purim

Purim (Hebrew: פּוּרִים Pūrīmⓘ, lit. 'lots'[1][a]) is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the saving of the Jewish people by Queen Esther from annihilation at the hands of an official of the Achaemenid Empire named Haman, as it is recounted in the Book of Esther.

The Achaemenud empire is modern day Iran, and Purim was Monday.

So they scheduled an attack on Iran, to align with Purim feasts:

Purim is celebrated annually on the 14th day of the Hebrew month of Adar (and it is celebrated in Adar II in Hebrew leap years, which occur 7 times in every 19 years), the day following the victory of the Jews over their enemies, the 13th of Adar, a date now observed in most years with the fast of Esther.

Coupled with the American military telling our troops it's a literal Holy War...

And it's hard to try and act like we didn't just try and start WW3 as a fucking Crusade to bring about Armageddon.

Like, these people legitimately believe they're bringing about literal Armageddon and End of Days, and they're doing that so they don't have to go to trial...

Not wrong but a lot of expansionism going on, especially on Bibi's side. For Donald, it's other kinds of colonialism

It's also expansionism in the case of Trump and Thiel. They want to build the Technate of America.

What are the lives of hundreds or even thousands of innocents, compared to another few weeks in power?
