Bibi and Trump are both desperate and fueled by their own selfish motivations. That being said it’s not a question of stupidity but rather of myopic self-preservation.
That’s the point, I can’t see how it would help Netanyahu with self-preservation. Going nuclear would be unpopular and ineffective as Israelis understand that their arsenal is more effective in a “will they won’t they” deterrence capacity. He wants constant war and doesn’t need nukes to get it.
Now what he might do is convince Trump to send nukes and pretend he had nothing to do with it. It’s not like Trump is hard to manipulate and Miller probably loves the idea to begin with.
Prolongs their prosecutions and distracts public opinion as well as the attention thereof. Introducing a novel geopolitical climate would insulate them further in allowing them to hedge their grips on power to the new realities they introduce and define. In this case, nuclear war. Notably, this environment would allow for institutional and private wealth to make a fortune off of the volatility in global financial markets (which is already occurring) and further consolidate both wealth and power. There seems to be a 18-19 year cycle for this type of thing (Kuznets Cycle/Swing). IMHO If this scenario occurs it’ll be sometime between March 20th-28th or May 3rd-8th.
