“I told Prime Minister Netanyahu that Israel demonstrated a remarkable capacity to defend against and defeat even unprecedented attacks — sending a clear message to its foes that they cannot effectively threaten the security of Israel,” Biden said.

    This is why Trump pulled out of the nuclear deal with Iran in his own words:

    We must never allow a regime that chants “Death to America” or “Death to Israel” to obtain a nuclear weapon. That’s all we can say. (Applause.)

    And it’s for this reason that I withdrew the United States from that disastrous Iran nuclear deal and implemented those sanctions, which are so biting and so tough.

    And if you think Trump is so pro-Iran and anti-Israel, you haven’t been paying much attention to his actual words.

    Literally last night:

    “ISRAEL IS UNDER ATTACK! This should never have been allowed to happen – This would NEVER have happened if I were President!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

    “AMERICA SUPPORTS ISRAEL!”

    Trump wanted to nuke a hurricane, so nuking Iran wouldn’t have even been a question to him.

      I’m not saying he wouldn’t be pro-Israel, but considering how much his words say one thing on the campaign trail, and his actions are generally just whatever he thinks will benefit him the most in the moment, it wouldn’t surprise me if Iran could sway him into looking the other way.

        That’s another issue. That Trump is incredibly easy to manipulate is a whole other ballgame. This guy seems to think that Trump is some sort of pacifist.

        So… Trump pulling out of the accord got Iran back on course to developing a nuke, which made them more powerful, which is getting Putin what he wants, which means Trump is not doing what Putin wants?

        Interesting reasoning.

            Believe it or not, he can both do what Putin wants sometimes and then not do what Putin wants other times. That’s the problem with using a crazy person as an end to your means.

            Incidentally, your praise of Trump is interesting considering you said this a short time ago-

            This was by far the dumbest comment chain I have ever read to the end. I know you thought you sounded smug and smart, but jesus was it cringe.
