Trump reportedly exploded at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a furious phone call, telling him he was, quote, effing crazy, and ordering Israel to stand down from a planned strike on Beirut, in what Alex Christoforou of The Duran argues is classic good cop bad cop theater between Washington and Tel Aviv as US negotiations with Iran hang in the balance. Meanwhile, Russia launched a massive coordinated missile and drone assault on Kiev and targets across Ukraine, while the United States signals it may expand nuclear capable bomber deployments to European allies amid growing distrust of American security guarantees. Is the era of American deterrence in Europe transforming into something far more unstable, and can Trump extract a genuine victory from the Iran quagmire he now finds himself trapped in?
