    The tail is wagging the dog. Not a good position for US to be in. Makes us look weak. This is not how friends treat each other.

      Call me paranoid, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Bibi’s insane escalations have two reasons. Both to keep the war tempo up (and thus the excuse to keep him in power and out of jail), and to dare the Dems to come out against him. Either they don’t, and prove they’re whipped; or they do, and open themselves up to a new line of attack. Bibi’s blatant alliance with the GOP is well-known.

        He knows that he’d die before anyone got around to censuring him. He doesn’t have to give a shit, because we live in a world which allows hatred to be an acceptable political position that too many will happily vote for.

      The US tries to look strong? From where I am, it looks like a nation with a surplus of terrible infrastructure, an education system which produces a surprising amount of failure, and overall waning relevance on the world stage.
