How the US and UK delayed the Normandy landing as long as possible in order for the Russians “to exhaust themselves in heavy and bloody battles” so the US and Co. could lay the groundwork for a postwar order where America reigned supreme
Netanyahu does not want a functioning Iran. He wants another Nagasaki, another Hiroshima; devastation as far as the eye can see. This is Netanyahu’s warning to those who would dare to defy the State of Israel. Oh, and he needs to make Trump do the deed. On that point, there can be no debate.
