Vice President JD Vance made this assertion during a White House briefing. Defending the administration’s controversial agreement with Iran, he told Israeli officials they needed to “wake up and smell the reality of the situation that country is in,” noting that Donald J. Trump is the “only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time”.
This is not how you talk to or treat any nation you consider to be an ally. If you must be this brutally rude and negative, then it should be done privately through diplomatic channels, not blurted out to the whole world in this antagonistic way. What he was saying was “Obey Donald Trump or we will dump you” and the reason he was saying it was to kiss the asses of the Iranians, who want Israel to stop defending themselves against Iran’s Hezbollah proxies.
Israel isn’t about to do this. They agreed to observe the ceasefire that Trump demands of them so Trump can keep up the farce that he defeated Iran, even as Iran tells him what he has to do to make Israel accept the ceasefire, and he does it. The Iranian terrorists must be laughing themselves silly, they probably have Vance’s remarks playing back on an endless loop on national television, telling Israel that everyone is their enemy now except the United States and that friendship is getting pretty thin. Can you imagine how much they love hearing that?
Regime change in Iran would end all the proxy attacks. Without funding from Iran, they’d probably collapse of their own accord, and regime change was the original goal of Trump, or so he said until he realized that it was going to go past the midyear elections, then everything changed. Then he claimed that killing the Ayatollah was “regime change”, hurrah, success, we did it, we won, declared victory and got Iran to sign that Memorandum which guarantees absolutely nothing except that they won’t be attacked for at least two months.
The USA under Donald Trump’s leadership is remarkably similar to Germany’s leadership under Adolf Hitler. I lived through it, I see the strong similarities, the swelling of the ego that was already huge, his belief in his power which he now stated is unlimited. Does that scare you? It does me.
