Trump's Israel hypocrisy: Rules for thee but not for me
When Iran struck Israel on Sunday, President Donald Trump demanded that the Jewish nation stop firing back. But when Tehran struck a U.S. military helicopter the next day, it was “bombs away” against the Islamic Republic. You can call it strategic, but I call it hypocrisy.
TL;DR
- Trump demanded Israel stop firing back after Iran's strike.
- The U.S. retaliated against Iran after its military helicopter was struck.
- This is characterized as hypocrisy, possibly driven by Trump's ego and pursuit of peace prizes.
- The author argues that Trump's approach to Iran is inconsistent and influenced by his diplomatic ambitions.
- The article suggests that some conflicts with 'jihadi regimes' are not amenable to diplomacy.
- The author believes neither Iran nor Israel wants a ceasefire and the U.S. should act strategically.
