"The organizing principle of any society, Mr. Garrison, is for war. The authority of the state over its people resides in its war powers."

JFK, 1991
(Fletcher Prouty, portrayed by Donald Sutherland)
point 1
for 45 years, during the cold war, the us had a soviet enemy; we had 10 years without an enemy in the 90s, then we tried 'terrorism' (crimes committed by muslims) as an enemy and now we have pivoted to using ourselves as the enemy because our economy is so intertwined with china's as to make that conventional war impossible....
point 2
israeli society and the israeli economy are constructed for permanent war - and it's our fault - we created this mess
bibi and the israeli ("zionist") fundamentalists require the iranian (shia) regime to remain as a permanent enemy
this is also why gaza will never be solved - the israeli right need it to not be solved
adjusted for inflation, since 1953, the us has given israel $92.7 billion in economic aid and $228 billion in military aid
when searching "how much is the us giving israel in 2025" the answer is "As of April 2025, the United States has 751 active Foreign Military Sales (FMS) cases with Israel that are valued at $39.2 billion."
israel's 2024 gnp was $142 billion
thus, the american taxpayer is gifting to the state of israel more than 25% of it's annual gnp at the present time
citing any of the above in any media or online venue in any line of argument is viciously attacked as ANTI-SEMITISM
israel's right to exist has nothing to do with the religion of the vast majority of it's people
but this explains the violent reaction when the very idea is floated re: reducing tens of billions of us taxpayer dollars in annual subsidies
point 3
and this will be unpopular here in the cr.......
those of us living in the fact-based reality timeline must concede that the insane magaright undercut bibi in this circumstance and somehow we have arrived at the correct, if temporary, outcome....
