    Who could see that coming lol. It would actually be crazy if Israel pissed off the current administration enough to backfire and end the two in conflict. But I doubt it. That billionaire money is too good for those in power to pass up

          so by agreeing with your assessment of the situation makes the US intelligence agencies worse than most of the world? you see what i am getting at here right?

            Their point is (I assume), this observation is very obvious, very old and that anyone could have told you Israel would attempt to torpedo any peace deal long before now.

              yes. that is the very superficial view. can you think of any particular reasons why they (the usa intelligence community) decided to publicly acknowledge this very trivial conclusion at this point in time?

              look people its not hard, by them doing this it completely undercuts any equivocation the current administration might do regarding iran/isreal situation. its basically them forcing the administration to hold isreal accountable or look like bigger buffoons than they already are.

              this is a good thing.

                You mean apart from to avoid seeming incompetent and lacking influence retroactively like with Hormuz? Hardly superficial when they could have made that stance apparent at any point before now to meet that very same objective. Also, not sure why you wouldn’t have opened with this speculation rather than lead with round about questions, that only seemingly make sense after you pose this hypothesis. Your assumptions have much more faith in the US administration than most may still have.

                Also, this isn’t a classroom and you’re not a teacher. Just open with your speculation next time and drop the question-talking, “look people” nonsense.

                  This is not a group that makes public statements often. they only do it as last resort. This is a group of individuals who believe not saying anything is a better practice.

                  thank fucking god you’d all fail lol. And I’m not speculating this has been common practice for the intelligence community for literally 100 years now.
