55. Netanyahu didn't want the nuclear agreement with Iran to work

That was made clear from the beginning. Trump is mentally ill as a megalomaniac sociopath narcissist, but I think what he did with Iran had rationale, though an incorrect one.

The idea that regime change in Iran will lead to a pro-western government after they have been attacked by Israel and the US is very illogical. Look at the level of resistance there was to our attempted governance of Iraq. This will likely be exponentially worse. I think the calculation is that Israel would rather be facing a divided failed state in Iran than the entity that they were facing.

I'm Jewish (though atheist) and am not saying this from an anti-Israel perspective. I'm just saying that I think this end game with Iran was in mind from the beginning when Trump ditched the agreement that John Kerry and Ernest Moniz negotiated. It's a feature, not a bug.
