In the wake of 10/7, Israel’s crying need was the restoration of deterrence, which itself depends on freedom of action. No country with security concerns such as Israel has can afford to subcontract its defense policy out to some other country or entity. Biden & Co. behaved as if the US aid being provided to Israel gave them a veto over Israel’s warfighting strategy. Perhaps they’ve now been disabused of that notion.
By and large, the American people view Israel in a positive light. On the other hand, they tend cordially to detest the Islamic Republic of Iran. So, any US administration’s freedom of action regarding Israel is limited by public opinion. Bottom line: Neither Biden nor Harris can afford simply to write off the Jewish state, nor to suck up very obviously to the Islamic Republic. It’ll be interesting to see how all this works out.
It appears yes, Israel has decided to live. Most Westerners will, many will fall anyway. Suicide as dry sardonic hypothetical pretense will generally not be followed through on, especially by The Most Cowardly People In History- Western Liberals.
"All the while Russia is actively involved in arming these terrorist organizations."
Yes. I think a lot of this is great power competition. Not all. But without great powers involved these wars would be minor border spats. When you get great powers involved, it gets scary.
I'm praying for Israel. As Adrian said to Rocky: "Win."
The western country with the highest birth rates has the strongest will to live and therefore most likely to defeat those who seek death and chaos.
It’s not the size of the army, or the population, it’s the respect for human life and the will to live.
This closely tracks with my,own opinion, as set forth today on “Unwoke in Indiana.”

Its mainly Jihad of course. But I think Russia and China are testing US responses.
Let's not forget that Russian desires for warm water ports is as old as their desire for Ukrainian and Central Asian lands.
American policy towards Israel is divided into opposing poles… forever. Foggy Bottom wants Israel gone, the Congress doesn’t. This isn’t news.
As Russians say; America can’t be negotiated with…
As far as not expecting a stab from the American government;
