Besides, this came from bibi, can't believe a thing that fucker says. But I bet he's promoting this idea to give the orange fuckwit an exit strategy where he can claim 'mission accomplished' and move on to bombing Cuba or someplace else. This smacks of the same energy that was around his tearing down the East Wing. He can't handle that he's going to be exposed in the Epstein case.

Just a thought.

The Supreme Leaders death was their exit strategy otherwise this conflict could go on for months causing a complete disruption throughout the middle east
