OK, .. Let's See :-)

Day 5 of a long long war :)
Israel has already begged Trump and anyone it has in the USA to use U.S. military aggressively against Iran.
You know, I'm beginning to think Trump did this deliberately to punish Israelis. He allows Israel to attack Iran aggressively, that's for sure, and yet on the other hand he does not want to enter the United States into a war with Iran, which will take out all the Arab oil, Azerbayjan Republic's oil, all the U.S. military bases in the middle east (perhaps even in Germany and Japan), and at the end, you know what happens. Next U.S. president picks up sorry American asses from the region and get them back home, a la Afghanestan and Vietnam.
I don't think Trump is that stupid. He wants to leave that office in good terms with the Americans. So there is a distinct possibility that he fooled Israelis into it. Now what remains is that to what extent, what dollar figure, he can make Americans pay for Israel's war. This is right now the key point he has to come up with an answer for.
And to save face (with Israelis as well as Americans) he still pretends he did that to force Iran into capitulation.
Conclusion: He wanted Israel pay the cost to inflict as much harm as was possible on Iran because Iran is not a Bitch of USA. Israel thus would be punished for being a criminal regime, and Iran would get hurt cause Trump has always had a beef with Iran for being independent of anything American related (even in Shah's time!). All Nazis in the world, especially the Bitch ones, have a beef with Iran. They want to prove Iran could not avoid being Bitches of USA like themselves!
This is what Trump has been doing in this matter.
