To keep the Middle East destabilized. If Middle Eastern countries are destabilized then the US can get oil for cheap. If they unified, the whole US empire could collapse.

Now I know it seems odd because Israeli occupation of Palestine is a rallying call for pan-Arab solidarity. Well you're right, this is an inherent contradiction. But the US is happy to keep supporting Isn'treal because they are a threat to Syria and Iran. And if another Six Days war happens, it keeps guns pointed on Isn'treal.

I personally think that Isn'treal is a vassal the US can't completely control. The US can always give them money and try to direct their army towards US enemies, but they can't get them to stop the genocide when they're on the warpath. So the US has to keep supporting them, because if they don't they will lose all influence on Isn'treal and the ME as a whole. This is another contradiction.

Even leftists need to educate themselves about Yugoslavia. I'm doing my part and reading To Kill A Nation. So much I didn't know.

I remember a prediction that because Russia didn't produce ball bearings every vehicle in the military wouldn't be able to be repaired. They had some complicated chain of sources and specs about hardware and how the sanctions would cripple them that way. I haven't followed up on it, but I assume if this component is so critical then Russia started producing it.

I made the point that there is literally no American cultural memory of being bombed under virtually any circumstances.

Uhh ever heard of "And the rockets red flare"? How about "the bombs bursting in air"?

Every river, every sea!

Great summary of the events that will definitely happen.

Thank you for answering the question.

Reading "To Kill A Nation" has got me in the mood.

Good thing an armed Transguard will defend the few innocent cis people left.

I also ate the onion.
