Today’s NYT has an excellent account of how Netanyahu talked Trump into this war. You seem remarkably indulgent of a dwarf state which wants to wage war in every direction and which has no concern for anyone else.

It wages war in every direction because that is the direction from which those who want to exterminate it are coming from

A good and balanced assessment. The wider analysis so far today and yesterday has been mostly hyperbolic, sometimes hilariously so. From here, a lot will depend on the details that get implemented from the "ceasefire". I suspect a period of 2 weeks or so of relative calm will make it clearer just how badly Iran has been damaged.

We can only hope Trump and Netanyahu are tied back to back so they only have to use one bullet.
