Instead, he’s boasting about an Iran war that’s already threatening to raise oil, gas, and home energy costs for ordinary Americans. iPINIONS argues that this is yet another case of his reverse Robin Hood economics: sending poor “suckers and losers” to die in a war that he’s… Read more.
Trump wants a Japan-like surrender in five weeks. Netanyahu wants Gaza-like destruction on a far larger scale. iPINIONS argues that one man is chasing vainglory, the other is trying to outrun judgment at home, and both are helping turn a regional war into something darker, wider, and potentially apocalyptic.
