    Trump supports Netanyahu in taking Gaza and the West Bank > Iran declares war on Israel > ?

    I’m really not sure how Trump will handle a war with Iran. They’re important allies to Russia. He wouldn’t want to piss off his pal Putin, but the Republican Congress would be champing at the bit to be in that war.

      Iran is only an important ally to Russia because of sanctions.
      I’m sure Putin won’t care about them when he can trade up to the USA as ally.

        That’s absolutely possible. It’s also possible that Trump pumps the brakes too hard on Israel’s support against Iran that it sends Netanyahu into Putin’s arms.

        He has enough Trump over party loyalists in Congress to keep from being challenged. He can do whatever he wants with the military.
