Here's what Trump and his team know. They know that if they entered government, didn't do DOGE, left trade the way it was, settled in without any controversial policies and continued Biden's lack of support for Israel, MSNBC and the rest would still attack him relentlessly, looking for any excuse or invented misstep to condemn him. So he must think "What the hell", they're going to hate me, I'll give them reasons!
There are always other considerations. Biden supported Ukraine but just enough to ensure a stalemate because he knew that Russia losing would cause a massive headache for Europe, especially if they decided to go nuclear rather than lose. Biden supported Israel but only enough to allow them to degrade but not wipe out Hamas because maintaining the status quo with Hamas an ongoing threat to Israel was important to Iran and therefore important to Biden. This is not new, mind you. Recall that the Allies could've stopped Hitler, y"sh, in 1936 when he sent his army into the Rhineland but decided not to because they were worried about a rising USSR and decided that a strong Germay was a good bulwark against it. Now, turns out they were wrong but still, that was their bigger consideration. Now when it comes to Israel, Trump doesn't care about Iran so he'll let Israel win. It's the Israeli army that doesn't want to win now because it'll make Bibi look good.

ReplyDeleteBiden supported Israel but just not to the degree we wanted.
