Donald Trump was warned by some of the most prominent foreign policy voices in the United States, who are popular with the MAGA base, that Benjamin Netanyahu was trying to lead him into a disaster in Iran:
John Mearsheimer: ‘Neither Iran or the United States want to fight each other. It’s the Israelis who have been trying to pull the Iranians and the Americans into a fight.’
Prof. Jeffrey Sachs: ‘Netanyahu’s dream in life is a war between the US and Iran.’
Col. Douglas Macgregor: ‘Netanyahu will drag Trump into the abyss because he wants this war with Iran come hell or high water.’
Tucker Carlson: ‘For a good part of the Presidential campaign, the deep state was telling Donald Trump that Iran was trying to kill him. As far as I know, that’s totally untrue.’
Was that what Butler was all about?
