He never said he wouldn't start a "special military operation". Or just join a war Bibi started on his behalf.

Pretty sure the loophole is that this "conflict" with Iran hasn't officially been called a "war".

Thats what Trump and Trumpers live on.

Semantics games.

Welker did a fine job calling him out on his lies and bullschitt.
