Let's stop pretending these military strikes against Iran, which were launched without the consent of Congress as required by the Constitution, and in flagrant violation of international law, are about national security for either the United States or Israel, or have anything to do with strategic diplomacy. No one paying attention is that gullible. Regardless of whether or not Iran was on the verge of a nuclear weapon (which Netanyahu has been saying, literally, for 30 years), and irrespective of the Iranian regime’s hardline sponsorship of terror, Trump’s entry into the war has only one strategy, and that’s distraction.
