#3 Minister says U.S. must back Israel if seeks presence in Mideast

Amid escalating tensions with the Biden administration, Israel's Energy Minister, Eli Cohen, who until recently served as the Foreign Minister said on Wednesday that if the U.S. does not provide unequivocal support to Israel, "it has no role in the Middle East."

Cohen said Israel is America's ally and the sole democracy in the region, sharing the same values. "Let me tell you who is observing the ongoing conflict: the Saudis, the Emiratis, and the Bahrainis. They say that if the U.S. doesn't back Israel fully against those who threaten us and Iran's proxies, it certainly won't back them either."

#4 US out of UN! UN out of US! They did some good in Korea in the '50s but nil since. Their peacekeepers in their blue helmets dont.

#5 "They say that if the U.S. doesn't back Israel fully against those who threaten us and Iran's proxies, it certainly won't back them either."

The U.S. of the 21st century (and NATO by extension) won't even back itself against those who threaten ant attack.

This is the precedent established by 9/11 and the 9/11 war.

#7 #6 I don't think that's the core problem.

If Western elites were as ruthless and greedy as claimed they'd just use the West's power to coerce the payment of petrodollar protection money from the Arab world.

This would be amoral and corrupt and undesirable but at least the Western populace would be kept safe by deterrence.

The Western leadership class seems to suffer from a from of collective suicidal masochism, which is inexplicable to me.
