https://www.rawstory.com/trump-netanyahu-iran/On Morning Joe, Anand Giridaradas said that trump is little more than a sidekick to Netanyahu
"He promised no more forever wars and these kind of stupid wars," Giridharadas said. "He promised safety, like just basic safety. He promised crackdown on refugees and the border issue, and he promised costs would come down. By doing this war I wouldn't even call this a war of choice, it's like a war of whim and maybe a war of like, following your friend off a cliff.
"He is, on all four of those issues, betraying not me and you or anybody else, but his core base. Those four promises, 'No more stupid wars, I'll deal with costs because, you know, refugees and safety, because Iran is a terror state.'"
"It may not be able to win on this battlefield that we're seeing on our screen, but for the next 20 years to come, we're going to all have to live with the threat of terrorism that has been re-ignited by this kind of treatment," he said. "There are going to be refugee flows when all of this, you know, the Israelis apparently want state collapse. That's one of their goals, I read in the New York Times this morning. Well, that state collapse is going to mean refugees on a giant scale. It's one of the more populous countries in the world."

I think we know that the Tangerine Toddler isn't a master strategist and that his personality disorder(s) don't allow him to listen to advice about potential consequences.

Bibi or Israel in general CANNOT and do not direct the U.S. Military.
There may be strong disagreement with how the President executes his duties. But that is on him.
