    It’s incredible how supporting Israel was about “securing an ally in the region to avoid another major armed conflict in the middle east”, and has now turned into Israel dragging the US into another major conflict in the middle east. It’s either US foreign policy officials didn’t learn anything from the past dozen conflicts or they literally want this to happen every time.

      I legitimately have no clue what the state department is doing or thinks it’s doing. This isn’t even good for money since now they can’t sell arms to quite a few nations because those weapons will immediately be spent on Israel. And they can’t send too much to Israel because it looks even worse and every dollar they send costs political will. Its dumb.
