  • Honestly whenever I hear “the US could stop this” it doesn’t really make sense anymore. It’s the same thing as saying “Israel could stop this anytime it wants.” Both technically true, but allowing Israel to destabilize its neighbors and keep the Middle East in crisis is exactly what the US ruling class wants. It’s not like the US is getting regrettably pulled into all of this because it doesn’t have the guts to say no. America does what America wants as a hegemon, full stop. If the ruling class want all of this to be happening, it simply wouldn’t happen. I’m not saying the US is some god that snaps its fingers and the world goes accordingly because that’s not a dialectical analysis. I’m just saying Israel is so much a foundational extension of US foreign policy for the Middle East that it becomes an extension its own will. So saying the US could stop it anytime it wants, I mean sure. A school shooter could stop shooting anytime they want too. It’s just meaningless
