“GUA”:
Hashem wants us to do the right thing and not to stumble.
So since the Brisker Rov compared the State to the egel when he said the State of Israel is the Satan’s greatest triumph since the egel, it is simply not possible for him to have also said that Hashem “smiled” about the State any more than He “smiled” about the egel.
The stira seems irreconcilable, in my humble opinion.
