On Thursday night, Israel launched a huge series of strikes on Iran that may have driven the Middle East [closer to all-out war ](https://inews.co.uk/opinion/the-unintended-consequences-of-israeli-strikes-on-iran-3745616?ico=in-line_link)than it has been for decades. The assault’s success in killing several senior Iranian military leaders and scientists, as well as damaging key facilities, has left Iran embarrassed as well as assaulted, with its inability to anticipate the strikes laid bare for all to see.
But if [Israel’s strikes](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/explosions-heard-in-tehran-as-israel-announces-strike-on-iran-3746891?ico=in-line_link) are a humiliation for anyone, it is US president Donald Trump, who had made clear both privately and publicly that he did not want Israel – one of America’s closest allies in the world – to launch the attack. The US had been due to hold talks with Iran on Sunday, a process now undermined, potentially fatally, by the actions of Israel.
Israel’s relationship with the United States is essential to its survival. Military and financial aid from the US to Israel is worth around $4 billion a year in “normal” times, but since the Hamas attacks of 7 October 2023, the US stepped up its financial and military support to between $12-18 billion – around a quarter to a third of Israel’s defence spending. Israel relied on direct military and intelligence assistance from the US (and UK) to successfully intercept Iran’s last missile salvo in its direction.
In other words, Israel is reliant on the US being on its side. And despite that, its government felt confident that it could publicly and spectacularly disregard the wishes of Donald Trump, undermine his negotiations, and get away with it. As public displays of disrespect towards an ally go, there are few cases to match it.
What makes things worse for Trump is that this is neither an isolated incident, nor is it confined to Israel. Trump campaigned through 2024 telling Americans that they were being humiliated and disrespected on the world stage – and that he was the man who could correct that.
Trump famously claimed on more than 50 occasions that he would be able to end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine on “day one” of his presidency. He suggested that Hamas would not have dared to carry out the atrocities of 7 October if he were in the presidency. He promised to achieve a lasting ceasefire in Gaza within days.
And, of course, a central pillar of Trump’s campaign was the suggestion that the rest of the world was taking the US for a ride on trade, and Trump would walk in and introduce tariffs that would quickly get the US a vastly better deal than ever before.
Be prepared to hear about Trump throw a tantrum and direct his disappointment for not winning on someone else.
Trump is a fucking clown. World knew it before the clownness was on full display. Him being a president shows the world the US is a joke.
30% of American adults are still on board with Donald. He’ll always have them.
A potential future conflict with Iran will happen under Trump. I don’t want to hear any MAGA saying this is Biden’s fault.
Even they will.
The only people who believed Trump was a strong man were Republicans. Everyone left of those nut jobs has been making fun of Trump for all of his makeup, shoulder pads, shoe lifts, wearing diapers because he shits himself, etc. He’s a vain little bitch who can’t negotiate anything more than who gets to rape the 12 year old first; Trump got his way on that negotiation.
But will he pull funding? No because he’s a bitch and the rabid Christians want the groundwork laid for the rapture.
Trump is the weak man’s image of a strong man.
LOL, “strongman.” Trump has always been a whiny, weak-ass little bitch.
Absolutely nothing has changed. He is the same insane dip shit he has always been.
*conservatives Photoshopping and using AI to make fantasy images of trump intensifies*
He’s netanyahus little bitch
Nope.
The people who fell for it, still fall for it.
The rest of us identified a shabby con man and an imbecilic huckster on first sight.
When a man wants his name in gold letters everywhere he looks, what else do you need to know about him?
Anyone who ever thought this man was strong is willfully ignorant. I mean, he’s a grown ass man that wears bronzer for fucks sake.
That didn’t take long. With any luck and/or divine intervention it won’t be repaired and rebuilt…
I struggle to grasp what the real angle of attacking Iran is for Israel? I mean, if Israel’s existence depends on the USA, what was the point in doing something that goes blatantly against US interests? Is Netanyahu trying to undermine Trump on the global stage? I don’t get it… What do you guys think?
Humiliation requires the ability to feel shame. He doesn’t have that.
No worries. DJT will have a long strongly worded phone call with Israel…
His makeup is so ridiculous.
Dick-tater
Fantastic summary!
> his strongman image is in tatters
Lol. At this point I can’t even… So in your head Donald Trump had a strong man image? Before it shattered ?When you thought about a strong man… Donald Trump came to mind?
He is the textbook definition of a weak, soft, snowflake man. Who the fuck writes these dumb articles? What the fuck is going on in the US?
His humiliation is also belongs to all of us in the U.S.
Get him out. He is completely unfit to be in charge of a fucking stapler, let alone the most powerful country in human history. Wtf is going on…? I am so disappointed in my country.
TIL Trump supposedly has a strongman image. Who knew? 🙄
Fuck off. The US and Israel were complicit in the planning and orchestration.
I have no idea more than you do. I wouldn’t believe your argument without some serious truth’s. Trump has been threatening action for ages against Iran.
I don’t care if he is humiliated or unpopular. Tell me when he is unemployed and in exile.
This is the media getting us to believe it, and it is how Kamala lost.
His humiliation will be complete when he’s dragged away in cuffs.
Do you think he has the self reflection capability to even realize how much as a clown he is perceived ?
I will never understand how this guy became the image of what a strong man is for so many people. I literally feel like I’m living in a simulation gone terribly wrong.
It’s not complete. He’s still walking free and living in the White House.
Everyone but the absolute dumbest people can see that he’s a clown.
What strongman image
Trump was never a “strongman no matter how hard the MAGA cult tried to make him into one. He’s a weak, incompetent, ignorant buffoon that thinks he’s above the law. He will go down in history as the worst thing to happen to this country . The people that support him and worship him will never find peace as long as they live.
What strongman image? He looks like an out of shape elderly woman.
I don’t give a fuck about his humiliation. He’s the President of the United States. It’s our collective humiliation for electing this man. It’s the country suffering not him.
Only a matter of time till he shits himself right in front of everyone.
