The overarching point is that Israel cannot operate independently of US and European support without becoming a fundamentally different kind of state.
Agreed.
You can try to be like Modi or Erdogan
This is the most cursed option, so most likely to happen! /s
they’re not going to nuke Gaza
Oh no no, I was never implying that. I would feel like they would use it only if they were in a survival scenario against Iran. That’s pretty much what I meant, as long as they exist they will be used to pursue the goals of the United States. Despite the downsizing, the U.S still needs to retain spheres of influence and the Middle East is a gate to Africa, Europe, Russia and Asia. I agree with the Chinese century in space as well. When The Entity does collapse though, it won’t be pretty. Nukes may be a part of that.
Sorry for the unclear hyperbole, considering turning the entire place into a firestorm was entirely possible if unfeasible, so there is no reason to read it as hyperbole. I understood what you + others meant about nuking the region in the end.
Agreed.
