Trump loves dictaters.
While true, i think that in this particular case it is more that reason prevailed. If Israel just goes out assassinating foreign head of states and the US supports that, it will be open season quickly and a very good way of starting world war 3.
I don't even think it's true.
This sounds like Trump floundering to take credit for anything. And in the absence of something, he invented a hypothetical
Reason Gulf money prevailed indeed.

I really think that's just all it is. Trump just loves the idea of Kings and dictators. He doesn't like the idea of them dying cuz well they're what he aspires to be.
Sounds like bullshit to me
'We didn't know about the attacks yet vetoed a part of it'
I interpret this as a way for Trump to position himself as the "good cop" rather than as a factual description of something that actually happened, or else I would be concerned about how such sensitive secret information is apparently being casually given away to news agencies.
I have a hard time believing they didn't know of and weren't complicit in the attack on Iran. They just diverted an arms shipment from Ukraine to Israel that specifically are claimed to counter Iranian drones
Edit: I saw it was to Israel on the BBC I think, but this article says otherwise
At this point Khamenei at his age would probably prefer actual martyrdom over being these idiot's bargaining chip and a prop for their demented shows pretending to be reasonable if it ever got to that point.
We all know Trump & most of Washington takes orders from Netanyahu, not the other way around.
Holy crap, the amount of delusion in these threads is appalling.
It's like you people are literally incapable of admitting democrats aren't going to challenge israel.
Are you in the wrong post? Nobody even remotely insinuated that
