Israel is nobody’s ally - they’ve just convinced other countries to be their ally.

you have to admit they represented the acme of convenience when it came to injecting policy into the middle east, at least from the derpy and misguided us perspective.

it’s all so wild. I don’t blame the people at this point, I blame their deranged gods that keep them going at it like fireants.

Look I’ll state it again.

The only way a country can have sovereignty is by having a nuclear arsenal.

Ukraine is getting chump change handouts instead of being protect by the agreement with the West.
