A dark take on U.S.-Israel ties and a new war, framed as bad for the U.S. with no way out.

• The claim: Israel once blackmailed Bill Clinton with a tape of a private call with Monica Lewinsky to pressure him during the Wye River peace talks.
• The bigger charge: Trump has now dragged the U.S. into a war that is far more damaging than any past pressure.
• Nobody has a plan to end it — even people inside the White House and Pentagon reportedly have no idea how to get out.
• The through-line: foreign influence over U.S. leaders is portrayed as an old pattern that has gotten worse.

Outlook: The war is framed as open-ended, with no clear off-ramp in sight.
