    Its a good start but we need to end our military agreements too while we’re at it.

    And any intelligence sharing.

    And all trade

    Ay weapon "sales"to them

    Any tourist visas for their citizens to travel to the civilized world.

    Assets in western institutions seized to pay American victims of their terror and murder.

    Then we blockade the whole country and demand our stolen nuclear fuel back. Our missiles will reach them but theirs wont reach us, so they should be reminded of that. Maybe a demonstration with a blank one is in order. We can televise it. We. Want. Our. Material. Back.

    Any of their spies we know about on our territory will need to be jailed or killed, I’m afraid. Their choice, but I’d suggest jail.

    And anyone who has participated in pedophilia of any kind and fled justice to Israel will need to be extradited to the US immediately. We can trade them for any tech execs who object.

    And any UN peacekeeprs need to be told to respond with overwhelming force if they are shot at. We can give them the weapons we were going to give Israel.

    Then we’re good. And not before then.

    Good PR strategy. Drop the unequivocal aid. Keep the much bigger military subsidy in the form of the American army defending your ass. Much harder to politically attack that (in ther minds).

    Is this related in any way to the supposed plan to merge the American and Israeli militaries?

      Yes it sure is. Hide the aid in the unauditable US defence budget and the US gets to hide the extent to which they support Israel and Israel gets to pretend like it isn’t a literal welfare state.

        unauditable US defence budget

        Crazy how that budget is just a black hole and nobody can do anything about it. Wish the legislature had some kind of oversight ability, or at least the power to control how money is spent.

      I have emailed Elon Musk asking him if he wants to do a similar thing with our finances.
