It was right and inevitable. According to the American’s Air Strike, the Israeli government had fordo posted: “Thank you Mr. President.” You can say what you want about Donald Trump. He is not a forecast. The same applies to Benjamin Netanyahu.
Something historical has happened: “Bibi” Netanyahu broke the bomb to the Mullahs. With the help of Trump. Or through him. No matter how.
The historiography may find in 20 years that these two white old men have only kept the Jewish people from another annihilation just in time. You won’t be able to count that at all.
It is awesome how Netanyahu has threaded all militarily. The weakening and humiliation of the proxies, i.e. the Hamas, Hisbollah, Huti, the show of the almost British-stratifying air superiority towards Iran. The Israeli premier may be accused of a lot. That he was corrupt, glue in power, who wants to undermine democracy in his favor. Probably true.
But if he has managed to prevent Israel’s threatened annihilation, then I don’t care whether he let a few champagne bottles go with you or his wife shops out at state costs in Paris. His right -wing radical ministers belong behind the castle and bar. No question. But Netanyahu was and is the right one at the right time. Bayern would say: A dog is nice! What an award is.
