The White House has just used its “emergency powers” to bypass congressional oversight for a $3 billion weapons transfer to the Netanyahu regime, right after posturing as a stern tough guy who cares about making peace in his controversial dustup with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.

That’s because the U.S. is Israel’s little whore bitch and does whatever they tell them to do.

Israel is the gun pointed at the head of Egypt, to prevent them from ever exerting serious control over the Suez Canal. Americans have turned that defense pack into a religious fetish, but the roots of the relationship boil down to the simple question of who gets to do business between the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean.

Control of this pivotal choke point of trade, along with Cape Town, South Africa and the Panama Canal and Singapore functionally dictates global trade. What's one more psychotic ultra-reich wing ethnostate on the map for control of that kind of wealth and military power?
