Netanyahu is playing chess on Trump's base and he has us paused up...

 I don't trust Netanyahu one bit.

I think the dude is doing serious damage to the state of Israel and I don't like how he's trying to drag us into his war.

But I got to give the fucker credit.

He's playing chess on us (Trump's base) and he has us paused up (me included).

Let me repeat.

I DO NOT TRUST NETANYAHU.

But the fucker is brilliant.  

What has he done?  He linked the Oct 7 attacks to the current war with Iran.  What makes it easy is that Iran has been such a bad actor in the region for so long that I can't lie...I have an innate desire to see them taken down more than a few notches.

So with Netanyahu linking the Oct 7 attacks to an old enemy of the President's base he is in a way "nullifying" our anti-war instincts.

Next the pied piper himself (Trump) is signalling a desire to continue negotiations with Iran WHILE AT THE SAME TIME signalling that he is willing to engage in military action (hopefully VERY LIMITED because I believe we're gonna see B-2s bombing that Iranian nuke site).

So where does that leave his supporters?

In a state of serious fucked up ass confusion.

If you're like me then your instincts are yelling no.  Those instincts to say no are amplified by the propaganda we're seeing on FOX NEWS that seem to be cheering for a strike.

At the sametime we're hoping that the strike is limited to just an attack on the mountain nuke facility and we can get out clean.

And that's the rub.

We all know that there is no such thing as getting out clean in a war.  Something always unexpected happens.  You always end up getting bloodied.

That's just the way things work.

Oh and remember we have about 40K troops on the ground in the Middle East just waiting to get attacked by terrorists/missiles/rockets (FORWARD BASING OF GROUND TROOPS IS BULLSHIT IN A BASKET).

If I was president what would I do?  

I think I would sit this one out.  

The idea of being rid of Iran's nukes is a beautiful thing, but just like that sexy ass female at the end of the bar there is a reason why she's sitting alone...there is always a catch in the best laid plans.
