Who is the bigger threat to the U.S. Iran or North Korea?

Why the U.S. acts as if Israel is a major world player is beyond me. If Israel wants to defy the United States, that’s their business. It is our business then to cease giving them countless billions, special access to intelligence, and military hardware. And, for good measure, we can stop giving audience to groups like AIPAC, or put them at the end of the line.

Israel is a piss-ant state; it is only really valuable in a theological sense. So, yeah, protect Israel from being overtaken because that is the right thing to do.

But, if they want to be aggressive and cop an attitude, screw em.

He doesn’t have to do anything publicly at this point, and is probably well-advised not to. It is easy enough for him to message Hetayahu to the effect that any aircraft flyhing from Israel towards Iran will be shot down in the interest of American National Security. I wouldn’t want to be the Israeli PM who tested that bluff.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that the Israelis want to keep expanding all the way from the Mediterranean to the Hebraic Gulf.

Are you joking? It would actually appear that the world would be a safer place if Israel had a nuclear threat and stop it from pursuing complete regional hegemony, which is what the desired strike on Iran is all about.

Israel doesn’t want a just peace, it wants more land, water, and long term demographic security, so it can’t be viewed as apartheid.

Eliminating Iraq and Iran give Israel the freedom to take what it wants, which is what PNAC and Richard Perle’s “A Clean Break” paper for Bibi in the late 90’s were all about.

What? You have a problem with destabilizing the Iranian government?
Did you have a problem with destabilizing the Soviet government?

I hope it doesn’t get to that point but I won’t put anything past Bibi.

Time to climb into my tree.

Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.

Namaste

While I agree with much of what you said, I think the dynamic changes when a lot of badness happens all at once, and everyone can clearly point a finger and say just whose fault it was (and that someone is not an American.)

Which is to say, there’s a big difference between slow, diffuse badness and sharp, pinpointable badness, and people tend to react a lot more quickly and decisively to the latter.

Obama hasn’t even stopped the dirty war to destabilize Iran.

I’m guessing we’ll see a false flag where Iran is falsely blamed as the aggressor, and Obama can wash his hands of responsibility for allowing Israel to “retaliate.”

Even the 6 Day War was a sophisticated provocation which allowed Israel to appear as a victim, rally indifferent Jews across the world into becoming Zionists, and occupy Palestine.
