Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that the Trump administration reports to him every day about the ongoing war in Iran.
In a meeting with Israel’s Cabinet ministers, Netanyahu said, “I spoke yesterday with Vice President JD Vance. He called me from his plane on his way back from Islamabad. He reported to me in detail, as this administration does every day, about the development of the negotiations. In this case, the explosion in the negotiations.”
Netanyahu went on to claim that the U.S. broke off the negotiations because Iran didn’t immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz and wouldn’t commit to getting rid of all of its enriched uranium.
I’m wondering if the final collapse of an Empire being triggered by going into a war they cannot win which accelerates their Economic and social collapse, to serve the wishes of a much, much smaller country, is actually Historically unique.
Sure, getting some populist leader who then proceeds to mismanage everything and ends up doing some stupid shit with massive consequences that final torpedoes the once imperial nation down, is pretty common in History, but doing said “stupid shit” to serve the interests of a much smaller and weaker nation might actually make this unique.
