Trump has been in office for less than a year, and he s already proving to be one of the most unpopular presidents in American history. He s won the hearts and minds of conservative ideologues, and even some of his own supporters, with his policies on Iran and the Middle East.
00:04:37.720As Marco Rubio announced after the war had begun,
00:04:47.140it was Israel that insisted on beginning the fight knowing that it would force the U.S. to join.
00:04:53.000The two allies were out of step from the very beginning,
00:04:55.480so it's no surprise that Netanyahu has done everything to disrupt the peace process
00:04:59.340and achieve all the military goals he possibly can
00:05:02.400while still under the protection of the American armed forces.
00:05:05.560The reaction in Israel to Trump's pursuit of peace has not been one of gratitude.
00:05:10.780The president's popularity in the foreign nation has plummeted,
00:05:14.340with headlines about Trump betraying Israel splashed across the country's newspapers.
00:05:19.000One media figure in Israel even said that America should receive another 9-11-style terror attack
00:05:25.040so the public would be scared into fighting Iran.
00:05:28.600The reaction of hardcore Israel supporters in America hasn't been any better.
00:05:33.320Figures like Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin, who left the NeverTrump camp to push for war, are now turning against Trump.
00:05:40.340At times, they attempt to hide their hatred by blaming Vice President J.D. Vance for the peace deal, but no one is deceived by this tactic.
00:05:48.240Men like Shapiro and Levin push relentlessly for a conflict that had little to do with the interests of the U.S.
00:05:54.720Once they got the conflict they wanted, neoconservatives fully expected military escalation to force Trump into the wider regime change war they desperately desired.
00:06:05.600Very few presidents would have had the fortitude to exit the Iran war once they realized that it was unwise.
00:06:12.800But Trump is one of them, and the neoconservatives will never forgive him for that outrage.
00:06:17.980It turns out all the rhetoric about loyalty to Trump was a complete farce.
00:06:22.220the neoconservatives always hated Trump and his voters, despite their change in tone after his
00:06:28.120second election. Most of the pundits who praised Trump during the Iran war were trying to replace
00:06:33.480the president with Ron DeSantis in the primary. The people who believed their rhetoric and followed
00:06:39.100their example were foolish, and they are notably silent now that the neoconservatives are losing0.99
00:06:44.820their mind and turning on the president. So what is to be learned from this unwise detour into0.99
00:06:50.940foreign adventurism well first americans don't have any interest in extended foreign conflicts
00:06:57.400they elected trump to address the crisis that our country is facing at home not to fix the middle
00:07:03.360east they don't want extended wars maybe a quick successful military operation like venezuela is
00:07:09.640acceptable but anything else is simply not on the table second george washington was right about
00:07:15.860entangling alliances abroad. Israel is its own country with its own priorities and it only cares0.87
00:07:22.340about the U.S. to the extent that our country can help them achieve those priorities. I don't blame
00:07:28.180them for that, that's totally normal, but that's why we were warned against this. It is unwise to
00:07:33.700enter a war with an ally that does not share your interests. Third, the neoconservatives are not our
00:07:40.760domestic political allies they have no loyalty to trump or to the mega base and will turn on you
00:07:47.080the minute they think you are no longer serving their purposes they are not reliable it is not
00:07:53.840how you win because at the end of the day neoconservatives will betray you for their own
00:07:59.640priorities every single time stop allying with the neoconservatives they will always betray you
