Israel shouldn't bank on US support "for as long as it takes"

It was Henry Kissinger who once opined that while it was dangerous to be America’s enemy, being America’s friend could be fatal. Truer words were never spoken. Think Diem in Vietnam. Noriega. Saddam. Gadhafi. Sometimes Uncle Sam just cuts his former besties loose to fend for themselves. The Shah of Iran wasn’t even welcome in America for cancer treatment in his dying days. Ashraf Ghani’s democracy in Afghanistan didn’t last 24 hours after Uncle Sam cut the puppet strings. Next on this shameful list of deceit and betrayal will be a certain comedic actor in Ukraine. In the past six months he’s gone from the top of the “A” list to a nuisance. Yup, everything you need for as long as it takes Zelly. Our new artillery shell factory should be on stream in ‘28, maybe a year or two later, so hang tight and piss off. Uncle Sam has a more important best friend to stand with for as long as it takes; Israel. What baffles me is that Netanyahu keeps citing US support as his promises of a long and difficult war on Gaza keep getting more extravagant. Uncle Sam may well have your back today, but things can change.
