Has Biden become the PM of Israel? Or is it secret powers of sone sort.
Israel is a proxy state. A ridiculous amount of Israeli GDP is actually American aid.
If Biden wanted the bombing the to stop, it would stop.
I'm curious, why do you think he actually wants it to continue? Geopolitical strategy is an ugly and complicated beast but most people seem to think it's as simple as "old man wants genocide".
His argument is a simplification, yes, of course it's not as simple as "old man wants genocide". It's more like "old man doenst really mind genocide thst much as long as he gets to keep the influence over a proxy state and also his own home state"
That's fair, thanks for expanding. Now I ask, do you think any other US president would do the same in his shoes? Why or why not?
