Netanyahu is just an evil MFer through and through. He thrives on slaughtering people by the thousands and can never get enough. Plus, the continued atrocities ironically keep him out of prison.
Iran gains stature and relative power every day this continues. China and Russia are delighted to see Trump waste 10 years of multibillion-dollar arms production to no real effect. And they are even happier to see the US M-I-C crying for another $2 trillion (over 10 years to keep building these Cold War weapons that have proven utterly ineffective in 2026.) This war has nothing to harm trade between Iran and China -- quite the opposite. Stronger than ever.
And Trump's interest from the start was mostly to distract from Epstein, and to create new opportunities for personal grifts, such as when he took $500M of oil from Venezuela and deposited it into a "special account" in Kuwait, completely outside the US Treasury. Trump still hopes to get a piece of Iran's oil. That isn't looking so great now, but at least it is mostly keeping Epstein off the front pages.
Of the three, Iran and Netanyahu are getting everything they could want. Trump is the biggest loser here.
