Precisely!
Remember how Macbeth (Shakespeare)lamented with guilt after murdering Duncan "Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood clean from my hand?"
But Trump being the narcissist has no guilt.
Trump's hands are stained beyond cleansing and so he will pay the price tenfold at the midterms!

In geopolitics, arrogance and reckless words eventually bring their own reckoning. And when that reckoning arrives, it is often because someone, somewhere, knew exactly 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙬—𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙚𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙞𝙩.

There is an old saying common in Korea and Sri Lanka: “𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙝.”

Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has long shown a remarkable ability to read the ambitions and egos of world leaders. In dealing with an ego-driven president eager for dramatic gestures, that kind of political instinct can easily translate into influence far beyond Israel’s borders.
👇

Yet by his own actions he has already added another thousand lives to that tragic ledger. When leaders condemn the sins of others while repeating them in different form, moral authority disappears.

Nor can one ignore the political dynamic that often accompanies such decisions.

The arrogance of Donald Trump in demanding a say over who should control Iran is beyond the pale. The future of Iran belongs to the Iranian people, not to Washington, not to any foreign leader.

Trump loudly condemns Ayatollah Khomeini for the deaths of 35,000 Iranians.

For most of my life I supported both the United States and Israel. I believed they ultimately stood for law, restraint, and democratic values in a dangerous world.
But there comes a moment when loyalty must give way to honesty.

Yes, a little frigate at that.
All Hegseth and Trump have achieved is to now make the US a legitimate target for the Iranian forces.

Surely an administration presiding over the largest economy on Earth employs competent economists. Surely there are advisors capable of reading the numbers and understanding the signals.

So are the warnings being ignored…
or are they simply inconvenient to the story that must be told?
👇

They are governed by arithmetic, productivity, confidence, and trust. When those fundamentals begin to wobble, no amount of political theatre can silence the alarm bells.

Which raises an uncomfortable question.

Yet the Trumpeting Trump marches forward, proclaiming victory at every turn, while the MAGA faithful trail behind like the Pied Piper’s procession—certain that the music must mean everything is fine.

But economies are not sustained by slogans or applause.

Those protections are essential in a democracy—but in cases involving wealthy and politically connected suspects, they can also create a system where power, money, and legal complexity delay or dilute accountability.👇

Courts cite victim protection, due process, and defamation law as reasons. Critics argue these same legal safeguards can also shield powerful individuals from scrutiny.

One day, whether in victory or defeat, the ability to speak with that enemy may prove more valuable than today’s ignorant hubris.

History has a habit of reminding the powerful of a simple truth:

There is far more performative grandstanding and disdainful gloating in politics today than any serious articulation of objectives or a credible plan to achieve them.
An enemy—whoever they may be—must still be treated with respect.
