“rules based international order” we shill relied on appearances of propriety, the more the US acts in this fashion the quicker the system is getting eroded.
Current “leadershIp” is willing to lose a lot face here for a foreign state, which is rather perplexing from national security and sovereignty perspective. What is the US winning here? And if we are not getting anything in return, then why are we supporting Israel’s war crimes at our expense?
Israel serves many purposes for the US.
Its our casus belli on a stick against Iran.
Its our nuke in a black box against Russia and China
Its our staging ground for when this whole climate change dealio gets sorted out and we need somewhere new to drill.
It’s a bunch of white enough people we can defend against any new terror organization that miraculously appears where we wanted to invade.
Its our theocratic imperative to kick off Armageddon.
It’s a place we can subtly suggest all our domestic Jews move to.
It funds the most regressive and hawkish politicians in our government.
It’s our laboratory for new mass surveillance and border control technology.
It’s our training ground for LEOs, FBI, ICE, ect. who literally go to Israel to learn urban warfare tactics.
It’s our unsinkable aircraft carrier in the most oil rich region in the world.
It’s our shield of plausible deniability when we want to act against our enemies without drawing backlash at home or abroad.
Israel really is the gift that keeps on giving!
