    Lets repeat this a few hundred more times. A clock and a gold fish are going to have a better trading records than you can ever hope for.

    Any country the US sets up a pier near, will have no choice but to deal with the local government. In no universe, will that not be the case.

    If not, that pier is Israeli territory! They can land troops there and just say, Thank you!. And there is not much the US could do.

    So cooperation with Israel is key to making this precedent work. Might be quite the show watching the US try to do humble

      You’re drunk right? You do realize all of Israel’s Conor McGregor-esque arm swinging is due to US support, right?

      “There is not much the US could do.” … I can think of several things the US could easily do that would screw over the Israeli military quickly enough. You can too, so I’m confused why you wrote this.

      Mmm yes, as we all know, the USA just can’t do anything in the Middle East without the approval of the local government, just ask Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen.

      Also pretty fucking interesting that you suddenly consider Gaza to be “Israeli territory”. So the people living there are Israeli citizens then?
