I saw an article about them attacking Lebanon now. So, where will it stop? Have the Israeli government ever spoken about this?

    I said the U.S. supported Israel so it could be their bully in the region, and you said that I claimed the U.S. was destabilizing the Middle East. Aside from being pretty telling that you made that assumption, I don’t know how your misunderstanding of what I thought was a self-evident statement matters. In my later comment I acknowledged that the U.S. also does destabilize countries in the Middle East(and supports countries that support its aims), as a way of acknowledging (and correcting/clarifying) what you said, even though I thought it was a stupid fucking statement and I knew someone was going to try to get into the weeds with it.
    Now you’re asking me to defend my comments on clarifying your misunderstanding? lol.

    I note, however, you’ve never challenged the assertion that the U.S. uses Israel as a bully. Merely you’re arguing semantics of a fictional point of disagreement you imagined.

    The person I replied to said Israel has always held their own. I showed how they had not, and needed U.S. support to hold their own.
    An absolute statement is met with an absolute dismissal when any part of that statement is proven wrong. That’s how debate works, champ.

    As for the rest of your thoughts on the matter: I do not care. You do not rank.

      Seriously dude wtf are you smoking and where can I get some?

      Has the US been following a geopolitical strategy of destabilizing the Middle East for the past 70 years? Yes or no?

      Define “held their own”. You claim that you proved they haven’t always held their own. You need to define the term first in order to prove the claim.

      You are an absolute clown 🤡
