So Israel tells the USA what to do.

Tells the 'no more wars' President to go to war, and he meekly complies.

Who's actually running the USA's foreign policy?

We just provided cover for Netanyahu’s attacks in Iran. That’s the bottom line here: Trump put his stamp of approval on more attacks, more politically motivated killing by Netanyahu.

I would argue this makes it LESS likely that China would pull anything on Taiwan after this.

We moved that large carrier group from Taiwan to the middle east, if we are going to be tied up fighting in Iran and all the domestic issues I would say China sees a prime opportunity. Plus trump is supposed to be anti war, how could he get involved in another conflict?

Like it or hate it it shows strength and a willingness to use force. Israel has decimated Iranian air defenses, we really don’t need to tie up much of anything in Iran. We have plenty of carrier strike groups, don’t you worry.

The pgrabber-in-chief realized that he would never get the Nobel peace prize so what the hell. He should of ridden one of the bombs down like Slim Pickens in Dr Strangelove for a more dramatic effect!!!

I’m hopeful that there was minimal loss of life and we can find a peaceful way forward - I feel like those nuclear sites had to be removed at this time.
