Seriously, I just told a story at my sister's about a formative memory of mine - wherein she swore off men forever, so I knew her husband must've done something right. Just should be positive and personal.
I wonder if he ever regrets getting it uppercased tho
Like AliExpress but shittier I think.
Basically just skip the a**zon markup for timely delivery and go right to the source
There is a possible inflection point with the democratization of military technology, drones, as they become more miniaturized. A lot hinges on the development of technology and how we collectively react as the climate crisis materializes.
I'd say Adelson and Bibi's relationship with Trump and our Congress causes inflation in our lives in excess of whatever "benefit" to imperialism Israel provides. I don't know that Israel as a whole truly benefits, I'd say not really as they're turning it into a coffin with one predictable exit. Purely in terms of profit? Probably not really. Many Israeli military actions in the region have been motivated partly by the manipulation of the price of oil (which had to be bought with dollars for nearly a century and so on). I'm really stoned right now but I think it might be self-evident that insider knowledge about oil futures and such isn't beneficial to the whole of the US society, and I personally doubt very many of the people making these decisions really have any national interests at heart.
I think it's easier to not think of nations because what we're trying to identify might be better understood as "neoconservatives", it's a faction of the ruling class that was aligned with the late Sheldon Adelson but his widow continues the legacy seemingly as well as Bibi, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) gang.
We have clear as day examples where Israel decides US troop movement in support of redirecting stolen oil to them during the Iraq War - as happened with CENTCOM's Energy Infrastructure Planning Group deferring to IDF/Mossad agent Michael Makovsky as often as they did, which Gary Vogler has written much about. It's a little bit murkier but Kurds get roped into similar shit too, all the time.
I'm assuming this is with regards to Israel. It's true in the sense that Israel is supported with billions in cash, arms transfers, logistics, and diplomatic cover and in return elements of the ruling class both in that country and which straddle it and others interfere in US elections in favor of those who facilitate that status quo.
It's a feedback loop like many situations, and there may be a tipping point where the US government tries to credibly round up Mossad and try to blame Israel for official actions of our state - but I've always figured that'd only happen when Nuremberg 2 is at hand.
aren't like going
the "white genocide" ?
I usually just say "collectivist" and then never stop trying to convince them that the system as it currently exists is making everything worse and will break down. So we either organize in advance or get taken along for the ride. Whatever brainworms they or I have about the specifics of any theoretical future changes aren't super important, there has been a dictatorship of capital for as long as anyone can remember in most of the world.
Yeah I was in Iraq and Syria with kurds for almost 2 years beginning in late 2014 (just checked some records to confirm). It sucked, everyone was great for the most part and there's still a lot of people I worry about but they're also caught in the middle of disputes over oil and pipeline control and getting armed not too dissimilarly from ISIL/ISUS.

I was literally suicidal and just couldn't do it myself so I figured I'd go get myself killed there. Now I'm ok. Just stay in the imperial core and be ready/try to mobilize there safely.
And I can't substantiate this at all but Israeli medical professionals were stopped on at least two occasions I was aware of leaving areas where ISIS guys got rounded up days later with recent medical aid having been rendered to them.
I primarily did forensics on dead ISIS guys' phones. Matched photos with geographic features/GIS data, sat in their group chats, etc. But I also got shot.
Most cool thing happened north of Musil, on the way back to the center of a town we were staying in. A puppy ran right up to us and I thought it looked a little too much like a wolf. Sure enough the mom was staring at us with her grey wolf puppy from 20m away and as soon as I saw her we retreated and took a longer route.
I figured Trump's mostly doing this to bring those powerful "domestic" actors to the table, right? He's consolidating power for something worse, probably.
