Trump the Perfect is headed for another temper tantrum.

Trump Ditches Appeal for Help in Iran War, Slamming Allies

(Bloomberg) -- US President Donald Trump abandoned his effort to recruit partners for the war with Iran and scolded allies who openly rejected his appeals, even as he repeated claims the conflict would end soon.

Their refusals have exposed the consequences of Trump’s cavalier approach toward the US’s longstanding alliances.

The US president on Tuesday scolded NATO allies in particular, denouncing their “foolish mistake” not to get involved. He also called out Japan, Australia and South Korea in a social media post earlier Tuesday that stated the US didn’t need the help of anyone.

“I’ve long said I wonder whether or not NATO would ever be there for us,” Trump said at the White House. “This was a great test because we don’t need them, but they should have been there.”

Israel said it killed Iran’s security chief, Ali Larijani, in an overnight operation and Trump threatened to expand strikes on Kharg Island, Iran’s main export hub.

So, now, everyone, except "blessed Israel", is the US' enemy?

Whereby we are told that Israel is the actual one in command - if we believe the (just-resigned) Trump-appointed counter terrorism chief, that is:

“Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran,” Kent wrote. “This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and you should strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory.

“This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again.”

A lot of people have been putting it together over the last year. I have read claims that Charlie Kirk was starting to pull away from his pro-Israel donors, because they were trying to control his messaging. Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly have been openly talking about Israeli control of the US government. Folks on the left, like the crew on TYT have been talking about the same thing. We see luminaries like Ted Cruz openly saying he got himself elected to the Senate to serve Israel. The US ambassador to Israel openly supports the "Greater Israel" project. It can't be a coincidence that Epstein and Maxwell both had long standing ties to Mossad. For years, I have been barking about how most POTUS candidates make their pilgrimage to AIPAC to pledge fealty to Israel. Something like 90% of the members of Congress take money from the Israel lobby.

it was expected the gop are too dense, but israel seems unaware of a scalability wall as a lesson from the 'great gaza' success.

Phases_Scalable

Continuous assassination of top leaders
Military followed by civilian infrastructure bombing
Civilian survivors auto-tagged as terrorists
90% populace in refuge crisis mode
War crimes
America picks up 99% of the open-ended cost

Phases__Not Scalable as Gaza

Eradication of real leadership residing in State Police
Genocide by bombing (Lebanon possibly, Iran too large)
Genocide by embargo\starvation (partial)
