How many wars can the U.S. back, arm, finance, and eventually lose at the same time? How many genocides? We're about to find out.

Speaking for myself, one usually spends time these days criticizing Israeli government officials and lobbying groups like AIPAC for policy choices and outcomes. But these articles make it clear that the real source of the frustration all along is the American politicians that willingly go along with it.

Biden doesn’t have to get caught in Netanyahu’s -deliberate American entrapment wars with Iran. He pushed those on Obama and Trump too. Members of Congress can tell AIPAC to get lost, but they don’t. That’s all on them.

Any other foreign government and lobbying organizations on earth who could push US policy around at their whim like that would do exactly the same thing.

It's not a trap when every sentient individual in the Biden Administration knows full well that this is the plan and are entirely on board with attacking Iran on any pretext.

Our MIC would love an escalation of conflict in the middle east, in China , in Russia, in S. America, anywhere that feeds them. They need to be fed so than they can in return feed our politicians with campaign $$$$. That's the system folks til we open our eyes and change it. IF not, we all know where continuation for escalations will eventually end up: ending everything.

The so-called “Special Relationship,” characterized as it is by unconditional support for Israel, creates incredibly dangerous incentives. Israel would have every reason to moderate its behavior if its leaders knew that they would have to pay the price for their own reckless actions, like bombing the Iranian consulate in Syria.
