That's the problem with the negotiations. USA negotiates with Iran while the conflict is between Israel and Iran, USA is just a useful idiot for Israel.

USA is a giant piggy bank for Israel

It's because of continuing war that Bibi stays in power, so he'll never allow peace. He's guaranteed to sabotage any deal, going from bombing a few more villages in Lebanon to launching missiles to Tehran.

Even with wars he will lose the next election and the next prime may be even worse than him

Iran got a stronger, possibly even more brutal regime, lifted sanctions, reparations from the war and possibility to collect payments from Hormuz. I hope Netanyahu is happy with his blunder with Pedolf Diddler.

What a weird war. Apparently Israel, Iran and US all won.

the US taxpayers lost in so many ways.

But the US non-taxpayers did very well!

Don't worry, they will find some way to rationalize either voting for more of the same or not voting at all.

this is how war works when its real goal is to make a few individuals richer.

The US has won several times even!

21st century war: blow up a bunch of stuff, everyone wins.

Except the people that were killed.

Let Benny go on with his war crimes and hopefully the Don-orangutan has a hissy fit and cuts all aid to Israel. Tired of my taxes going to that fucking bullshit. Israel has plenty of its own money - we don’t need to send it aid.
