Exactly. Israel, unfortunately, has been a strategic asset/liability for a long time. Oil powers the world. Having them where they are has benefited US interests in the region. All of it sucks and has sucked.
But I don’t think the forming axis powers have a great alternative to offer the world.
Can we all just switch to renewables/figure out fusion and put this shit behind us?
Overall, neither Ukraine or Israel deserve the help, but this global situation has quickly escalated into proxy territory where larger interests are also at play.
Help me understand something - how exactly does US interests benefit from Israel? We have a relationship with the Saudi’s (honestly I don’t know what’s worse), we buy tons of oil (we make tons of oil too), and they all know we will absolutely resort to bullying and violence if need be, so what exactly is the benefit? Fighting off poor freedom fighter Arabs?
I’m trying to figure out if it isn’t all just part of the Christian death cult or if there actually is some sort of strategic benefit. We have plenty of bases all over the middle east (I don’t actually know anyone stationed in Israel or have ever heard such a thing, unless it’s some black site which i assume exists)
What does Ukraine have to do with our decades-long gifts of billions of dollars to Israel?
