Tim reacts to reports that an Israeli official wants the US to preemptively attack Iran, riffing on the Gaza war's unclear objectives, Netanyahu keeping "the party going," the death of Ismail Haniyeh, and the odd similarity between Republican and Democratic war policies.
- Tim on Israel as a friend: always getting the US into something, keeps things interesting when summer gets boring.
- Israel says the Iran war is inevitable and the US should attack now, just rip the Band-Aid off without diplomacy.
- Gaza War has gone on almost a year and nobody knows what the objective is anymore.
- Netanyahu figured out the only way to keep people's attention is to keep the party going by getting the US to launch cruise missiles into Iran.
- Israel killed Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh in Iran during the new president's swearing-in ceremony.
- Iran's old president died in a helicopter crash, perhaps weather, perhaps something else—helicopters are held together by one God nut.
- Tim takes helicopters from the West Side Highway to Southampton and finds it terrifying.
- Israel is provoking Iran; they want the US and everybody to get wild over this conflict.
- Trump campaign differentiates itself by promising to bomb Iran, but there's not much space between Republican and Democratic war policies.
- Both mainstream Republicans and Democrats just want to go to war—there's no huge difference between the two parties on this.
