Is this another plot element of blending the two militaries so we can funnel more money to Israel without any oversight?

Soon we’ll just be paying our taxes directly to Israel

I having this feeling there is going to be an extreme backlash in this country in the next several years that would make this strategically unwise.

Look at Der Cheeto's history as a guide for how things will play out when the bastard finally croaks. Does any of his children strike anyone as particularly bright? Baron or whatever his name is, the kid that looks like the Talking Heads song "Once in a Lifetime" is constantly looping "Well... how did I get here?" every time I see him, that one seems like a possible wild card but the others are obedient sycophants.

It feels like that poor woman shot in the face by ICE was this era's Sumner affair with the kick off to chaos most likely happening somewhere in November but before January. How this will play out will be somewhat like when some Shia people decided to settle some scores with their Sunni neighbors. I cannot begin to explain how fucked things are when you have the equivalent of each corner in a four way intersection taking turns shooting at each other.

It's not a retreat; it's a strategic retrograde advance!

This is Netanyahu evaluating, not the u.s. He wants more military power so he just needs to extract from his buddy don.
