Like let’s put aside socialism, morals, basic humanity. Why the fuck does the west support Israel to the degree it does? Like it only alienates basically every other potential partner in the ME. It can’t effectively serve as a barracks state because who would we need that army to fight that wouldn’t only make things worse? Their economy is basically propped up by the USA. Yes they serve as a platform for weapons and systems testing, but they don’t need a complete blank cheque too it. Like I don’t get this logic. Cut em a check and pull bibi’s leash and wash your hands of it. Like the logic of “Unconditional 110% support” is just fuckin nuts. Yeah sure a good bit of it us ideology, but there has to be some matrierial calculus in there somewhere. They are basically sacrificing the baby Ukraine over this.
I assumed this was a minority view in the US, or one that’s subconsciously held. But then yesterday a user posted an excerpt about George Bush going on about biblical warfare and esoteric entities to the catholic French president (who was completely confused), and that convinced me there is a deep and unsettling and broken population of people in the US, even more than what I originally believed.
