    You suggest the USA should invade Israel? It hasn’t exactly worked out well with Iran.

    Israel has very clearly demonstrated it will not be deterred by any amount of threats or soft power.

      Without the USA backing Israel implicitly I don’t believe Israel would have the balls to continue being the assholes they are.

      They act with impunity because the USA has always, even if only begrudgingly, stuck up for them.

      Israel demonstrates time and time again it is able to act with impunity because we won’t hold it accountable.

        USA is the largest backer for Israel but far from the only, and pulling out all military support could very well lead to much larger loss of life as well as end up giving the eastern bloc nearly uncontested control over the middle east.

        I mean, honestly, do we really think Saudi Arabia or Iraq are going to fill that niche?

          Ok?

          Israel gets away with what it wants because the USA backs it implicitly. Your statement doesn’t change what I said or what I think or refute it in any way.

          SkullFucker destroyer of worlds could get control of the Middle East for all I care if the genocide stops.

            When Skullfucker aka Xi Jinping gains control of the middle east, more people will suffer and die. Not less.

            Chinese sponsored Iran killed more iranians, mostly protestors, this year than the USA.

                If anything I was getting the discussion back on track, discussing Irans role in this war’s start and continuation.

                Claiming that USA controls Israel which controls Iran was off topic lunacy.

                  Your weird defense of Israel is the most telling to me, it’s like I mention them and you … had to get on script?

                  I didn’t say the US controls Israel.
