On the vast disparity of risk/benefit calculation between Trump and Bibi
-
This kerfuffle about targeting Pars got me thinking about just how wide the chasm is between Bibi's interest and Trump's in this war.
I can't speak for Bibi of course, but it seems pretty clear to me that, from Israel's point of view, the destruction of the regime would be worth even a once-in-a-generation energy crisis and global recession. Iran and its proxies are indeed a medium-term existential threat to Israel. That seems clear.
Yet for Trump and the GOP, it's probably not even worth losing the midterms over. (any more than they might already).
That gap doesn't matter if they win and it falls, but short of that I think it might start showing some stress in the relationship.
