But the US can’t/won’t pick up and move it’s military bases every time the winds shift and someone else is committing atrocities.
I personally agree that I wish we were more selective with whom we form alliances. It’s not like Israel just started abusing Palestine last year anyways. That’s just not how foreign policy works today. There are other models that could be used, but the US isn’t likely to do so unilaterally. Right now, every country in the world makes foreign policy decisions based almost exclusively on their own interests and to maximize their power and influence.
Yes, I also agree the US can and should be doing more to pressure Netanyaho. Even in the current foreign policy landscape it’s pretty obvious that this genocide does not serve US interests. Biden is unfortunately a relic of the 80s/90s and is honestly not the president we should have elected. He’s miles better than Trump (who’s policies helped ignite this “war”), but that’s a low bar
