    You think Netanyahu, who managed to string Trump along to attack Iran, wouldn’t have managed the same with a much more Hawkish Clinton? Israel wants the US to go to war with Iran since quite a while. It would have been much easier to push Clinton to commit to full blown war, than with Trump, who for the most part pulled troops out of the Middle East. Also we saw that Trump, after the bombing immediately wanted the whole thing to be done, claimed huge success and got a ceasefire between Israel and Iran going.

    It is a low bar to meet, but Clinton would have made sure to drill a tunnel to pass through under it.

      More hawkish? Debateable in the context of Israel. In any case, this is an argument for them being the same, not different. And “attacking Iran” is not the same as occupying it as you initially claimed.

      Also we saw that Trump, after the bombing immediately wanted the whole thing to be done, claimed huge success and got a ceasefire between Israel and Iran going.

      And how do you know Clinton wouldn’t do this as well? What has Clinton said about Iran post-2016?

        Saleh@feddit.org is an idiot. Clinton would have never have blown up Obama’s Iran nuclear deal like Trump did which directly lead to the missle exchange between Israel and Iran and the bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities.

        He clearly can’t understand the difference between tough talk and actual intentions.
