    Israel cares only for Israel, most countries put self interest first so that’s only natural but Israel is extreme. What’s in it for the US to integrate in such a one sided relationship?

    Israel is literally the largest threat to the US and its citizens. The only involvement they should have with our military is being on the receiving end of its attacks.

      Israel is absolutely fucking with America but deserves to be cut off from the west and left alone with the neighbors they have provoked for generations.

        I agree. They’re not even worth the money and effort for us to attack. All we need to do is completely cut them off, seize their assets, hit a few key iron dome sites, then watch their neighbors exact a well deserved revenge.

        Israel and its citizens are mistakes, and it’s high time we fix that mistake.

          Bloodthirsty vibes from this aside, Israel and its warmonger culture is working exactly as it was intended from the start. At best it’s just a caricaturized version of the US, which makes sense considering both of those countries’ intimate ties since the beginning.

          “Solve” Israel and all anyone is doing is cutting off a branch when the rot starts at the roots. It would pretty much be a textbook example of the scapegoat mechanism. Obviously they aren’t innocent of anything, but solely removing their influence out of the equation will never change anything substantial.

    I’m not shocked that the US would do an Anschluss; I am shocked that the US is Austria in this situation.

      On the one hand I’m amazed at how Israel has managed to manoeuvre itself in international politics to project such an outsized impact on the world, on the other hand I’m baffled how a nation as powerful economically and militarily as the US would be willing to even entertain the idea instead of calling out the blatant ridiculousness of the suggestion.

    On the other hand, I would not be surprised if the US put spyware on visitors mobiles. Any visitor, from any country.
