After writing and deleting a 7D chess move involving appeasing different MAGA factions that was fucking ridiculous when I read it back, this is what I got:
I think Trump had to follow through on an attack lest people think he's bluffing when he makes threats and Israel forced his hand when they turbo accelerated. If they're actually trying to pull back now it's because they over extended expecting Trump to go harder than what he did. If Trump goes forward with actual regime change nonsense, then Netanyahu has him by the balls, but if he only pays lips service that's all it was. Trump being forced to use his big stick by Israel.
Either way, it fucking sucks because even in the best case scenario in my head, Trump HAS to pay attention to Israel which distracts from the domestic issues we need to handle right now, i.e. radical tax reform, deregulation, deporting the 3rd world back to the 3rd world, and maybe enacting jihad on the cartels that control Mexcio.
