I’ve been corresponding with a professor who wrote the book on fortifications in the present day and so much of his work hinged on how effective Israel’s high tech, digital, networked, automated etc defences were compared to “guy in tower with binoculars” and “foot patrol”.

The US ruling class seems every bit as spooked from this as Israel's is. The hysterical media coverage as well as officials including Biden himself latching on to all forms of atrocity propaganda point to desperation. I agree with FF's post earlier, they're terrified that they're losing control of the Middle East.

This is why they are endorsing genocide, and aren't even bothering with the pretense of seeking restraint. What a heinously evil position.

Kinda dumb guy question: is there a possible breaking point between the US/West and Israel where the idea of a military dog/base friendly to the west just isn't worth it? Is there anything Israel can give western hegemon that like, KSA can't? oh no America's mask slips another millimeter?

No, because their own political class is beholden to AIPAC money, so their policy has become self-perpetuating. The time to do it would have been before 1967.

I am guessing it has turned out that relying on all this high tech magic bs is not all that effective.

Any time Obama would meet with like the Saudi king or Japanese emperor he would make a silly bow and some of the right wing mob interpreted this as nothing short of a literal transfer of America's sovereignty to foreign royalty. Same deal with libs and this

Naw it isn’t comparable at all. Those things are stupid made up controversies about decorum. Showing up to your country’s legislature dressed in the armed forces of another country means you are directly and openly declaring allegiance to another country and placing yourself in their armed forces command structure, so outright saying you are working for Israel and not America. It’s not a controversy it’d be outright treason if it were any other country in the world.

I think it's all Israel's secret illegal unknown number of nukes that they're worried about losing control of.

France cut ties with Israel in the 60’s right before the US stepped in but they didn’t have 60 years of propagandizing their own population, plus the money, plus the Jewish vote in key Democrat districts weighing against it.

The Democrats can’t lose Florida and New York and LA.

gently caress you..."misled" my rear end. You went along with the horseshit narrative just long enough to justify Israel's war crimes.

Trump might be the harm reduction candidate...

Trump would be doing the same thing as Biden right now. He'd be pitching his advisors on pulling a Diem against Netanyahu, but wouldn't pull the trigger on it.
