“There’s thinking in and around the administration that the politics are a lot better if the Israelis go first and alone and the Iranians retaliate against us, and give us more reason to take action,” one of the sources told Politico under the condition of anonymity.


Clearly Israel is the only one who wants this war, the US is just following orders.
This is why US shouldn’t allow its politicians to be up for sale, but alas, hard to fix stupid.
There is no clearly delineating the idea of US and Israel in this foreign policy context, it is a continuous enmeshed concept, Israel is a vassal state of the US, I don’t say that condescendingly, that is what it is.
