      Yeah. US relation to Israel is like Israel’s relation to their own settlers. A bunch of maniacs who were nurtured and coddled for decades, because having them available as deniable shock troops and also sin-eaters was a valuable relationship.

      But now both are so deep in their own propaganda that they’ve become a net negative to the overall project, an irrational element that needs to have discipline imposed. Except the situation has festered so long that it’s become risky to do so, and we’re ruled by cowards who can no longer maintain their own system, so they’ll just put up with it until it becomes an acute crisis. Or maybe not, maybe this is still within the bounds of the kayfabe, but it feels like it’s no longer contained like it used to be.
