@yogthos man i would love to see the US finally just say enough is enough and abandon bibi like we have so many allies before
the idea of pissing away billions more dollars on preserving the israeli fairytale is... repellent to me

The US Empire needs far-right states to serve as footholds, it can't just rely on aircraft carriers to project hard power. Israel is a land-based aircraft carrier. Now, I agree with Yogthos, the Empire has weakened its industrial capacity and genuinely is a paper tiger, it can be flashy for a quick period but lacks the necessary industry to pivot to a wartime economy necessary for protracted war.

@Cowbee also, if israel succeeds in widening the conflict to include the whole russia/iran/pakistan/etc then they could be facing alot of more advanced weaponry and skilled military
which, their attacks on gas infrastructure seem to suggest thats exactly whats happening

while macron and trump wring their hands and say 'gee i think they must stop soon'

France, the US, and the UK have all reportedly been found defending "Israel" from Iranian missiles and drones, they are already involved. It seems like this very well could escalate.

If the US thinks it can profit off a 20 year war, it will steer things in that direction. The greed has no bounds.

I'm also fine with the US regime collapsing as a result of a 20 year war.
