They have been using the lack of stock as an excuse for not supplying Ukraine for the last 4 years but have also not significantly altered production. Then, the justification for not sharing interceptors was a potential future war with China. Instead we just burned a bunch of them defencing resources that were not in real danger by launching an illegal attack on Iran. 4 d chess right there... This country is being run by morons.

The orange moron is easily controlled to do what Israel wants. The book of things to blackmail him with is absolutely massive.

Iran and Israel have been in a state of constant war for 40 years. Both nations have done enough atrocities over the years that they both qualify as baddies in my book. There is no good side in that conflict.

Does Trump really need to be blackmailed? Every sign points to him being an actual moron and easily swayed by anyone he admires.

He is notoriously known to be capricious. So to ensure obedience a little blackmail keeps him in line.
