Confirmed Israel attacked Iran

💠Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, announced that the Israeli government has carried out a preemptive strike against Iran "to eliminate threats against the State of Israel."

Katz declared a special state of emergency across the country and warned that missile and drone attacks against Israel and its civilian population are expected soon.

Instructions from the Home Front Command must be followed, and people should remain in protected locations.

What in the goddamn fuck did he think was going to happen?

Seems like Israel pushed for it. The Trump admin was clearly trying to back down without admitting defeat before the Netanyahu meeting a couple weeks back. The smart thing to do now would be to back off now and let Israel take the fall.

Trump is scared to turn his back on Israel.

Probably believed his own delusions and those of his sycophants. Now they're in the find out phase.

When you fill your space with constant praise and people telling you only what you want to hear, this is the result. Generals were afraid to tell Lyndon Johnson how badly things were going in Vietnam, and kept feeding him false reports of thousand of NV and Viet Cong losses. Johnson was gobsmacked by the "impossible" Tet Offensive, which may have led to his decision not to run for another term.

Trump fired a bunch of his military advisors during his first term because they were honest with him

He wanted a quick decisive strike that would force Iran to capitulate to his demands. He probably thought things would go the same way they did in Venezuela.
