Oddly enough, it was a time for allies and when we looked around we found ourselves standing alone, again. We are not going to forget that this is all that we can get from the standard bearers of the West. I know that anyone can turn around and say of US that when it came to war in Ukraine we were not there and you are unlikely ever to find US there but that is something different. We are not allies of Ukraine and we never were. We are not interested in calling the most heavily armed nuclear power on the planet to account for dealing with troublesome neighbors who have been waging genocide on their kinsmen. WE have better things to do. One of those is to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of fanatics and when we engage on that front we find, as I said at the beginning, ourselves standing alone.
OTAN delenda est. Let the French and the Germans have it. They deserve it.

Maybe they are waiting to see who wins.
Seems all of our allies are INFESTED with those Muslims and might not want to piss them off?
Not happy to even bring this up but looking around it seems our success rate lately is pretty poor.
Pitiful Hothis 2 and US navy 0 wasn't a good look.
Afghanistan also not so good.
Iraq is a semi controlled mess.
And the world seems to realize that Israel owns us through bought and paid for CONgress critters.
All empires have a expiration date and history shows allies fade from them to become an ally of the next empires.
Seems you and I discussed this before.

I don't and never made the mistake that is so common today. We are not fighting to 'fix' things. We are fighting to make them not a problem to US. I do this with John Konrad quite often. He keeps wanting the 19th century world where we dominated trade and had therefore a reason to have a giant navy that was going to fight pirates everywhere and keep the sea lanes open. I'm retired Navy and I don't see any reason at all for us to spend a penny keeping the sea lanes open unless they are vital OUR trade. Oddly enough, none of them are today except the Mississippi and we can't really do anything about that.
Some people can still point to the promises that Jimmy Carter swore at Camp David and committed to writing to see why we are the shield of Israel but I'll tell you an open secret, pushed to the wall, Israel is going to nuke them all.
Were you intending to post this somewhere else friend?
Has nothing to do with your post nor my reply as far as I can see.
Israel was established on May 14, 1948.
When pray tell did our ongoing troubles with the Middle East start? Aside from a Punitive Expedition or three for most of America's existence the Middle East hasn't been a problem.
Once we became Israels BIG BROTHER they demand support and hide behind USA THEN the Arabs learned to hate us. HT to the Saxons began to hate poet.
Please point out how many Israelis have died defending America. Point out how friendship and Big Brother to Israel has made oil cheaper. Please add in the value of Recycling the USS Liberty and all the troops we lost because they were put in the Middle East "To PROTECT US Interests" aka Israel.
I suspect dear Israel will scorpion ALL of us in their Sampson Option. AKA Scorpion and the frog fable.
The older I get the more I think the only thing that works is mutually assured destruction. It does not matter if it is a mugging or war. Iran chose its own destruction. They have been blackmailing the world for 47 years. I agree with hit and walk away. If they are replaced with something worse hit them again.
We should never blackmail Russia. They can hit back. Tom
