      It seems like the USA really wants to GTFO. Trump even admits we’ll run out of oil in 4 weeks. It’s the bloodthirsty Israelis that won’t leave. The Israeli government and its people (NOT just the government) genuinely want the world to end.

        All we’d have to do is pack up and go. Take ALL of our weapons out. Without the USA backing, the Israeli government looses quite a bit of bite. Neither of those things will happen.

        There is a large spectrum of wants observable from the citizens of Israel.

        Several large groups of citizens from the USA also want to see the world end and fund settlements they think will help point the heavens in that direction. Silly humans

          In a sort of way, it’s like 1914, except Israel is the incompetent Austro-Hungarian Empire trying to get into a war with Serbia and the US is Imperial Germany just getting strung along as the muscle

          Defense contractors don’t want to stop selling to Israel. US military doesn’t want to lose their big military base there. But yeah Israel doesn’t want a peace deal so it violates them immediately everytime

    I mean, I knew something stupid like this was going to happen. Spaghetti for brains started a stupid war for stupid reasons, had literally no plan, no end goal, and then Iran did the smart thing cutting off the oil supply for months until the dipshit decided he had enough and was willing to crawl on his hands and knees for a deal. Of course the deal was going to be shit for america, dons a dumbass, a terrible negotiator, and had no leverage.

        The “we’re god’s chosen people” aspect of fascism paired with underestimating every opponent is what always leads to fascists getting mired in stupid, pointless wars.

    USA hasn’t won a war longer than 2 months since ww2. They’ve gotten used to not making concessions.

    We don’t actually have to pay $300b. That seems to be Trump’s original idea.

    Is he getting a kickback?
