I always though it was the land of the brave?

Well, trump IS discussing mutual defense treaty with Israel.

I mean brave enough to slaughter the Indians.

I'm not sure what good would Israel do in defending the US though.

So it's more like "US will defend Israel" treaty.

am pretty sure israel can defend them selves but just can't be arsed

Everybody should defend Israel, don't you know it's our sacred duty according to *their* sacred texts?

Their arms industry is kinda gimped, because US gives them so many lockheeb and ratheon vouchers.

"remember israel is our greatest ally" - every boomer

What's definitely true though, is that Israel is the only reliable ME ally.

as in a there's no danger of popular revolt suddenly bringing strongly anti-US leadership into power.

Even seemingly reliable muslim nations can easily turn into Turkey in a decade or two.

@leavethisbotnet There ain't *reliable* and muslim nations on this world.

You must pick either one or the other.

Islam is the cancer on humanity

Indeed it is.

Egypt has been pretty reliable.

to name one

But till some idiots keep calling it the religion of peace we shall peace on this planet.

@leavethisbotnet The muslim brotherhood has half the population in its grips.

Just don't tell them to democratize and often they can be somewhat reliable for a long time.

Give it the chance to take over and you shall see how "reliable" they are.

That's why I was saying that Israel is the only one reliable in the long term.

but medium term, there are some pretty reliable countries in ME; Egypt is one

so far

Yeah, but imagine what would happen if America again has a democratic president.

the only muslim who i can think of that is honest is imam twahidi

There's a wide range of crazy among Dems

Don't worry, if he's honest they will just declare him heretic. and have a fatwa on him.

Some wouldn't be a _complete_ catastrophe in regards to foreign policy

This is why I fear a Dem victory in the US would mean a WWIII.

God save us all, then.

we should have a ban on islamic immigration

I think there's a good chance that Biden wouldn't fuck things up _too_ badly.

as far as foreign policy goes, that is

If he lives long enough to actually hold office.

the only islamic majority nation i have some respect for is the UAE and thats it

Yang seems like at least somwhat rational guy. He's got no chance tho

my main problem with Yang is the UBI system he wants put in or the social credits system

I'm think more of the Kennedy or Roosevelt kind of coup d'état where they put a popular old man only to have him die half term and let the country in the hands of a puppet.
