JD Vance Unloads On Israel For Not Backing 'Only Powerful Ally' It Has Left

4 days ago by return2ozma to c/politics

"If I was in the Cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world," Vance said.

Not going to lie, if Vance and Trump are the downfall of Netanyahu,that would be kind of funny

Or if Netanyahu is the fall of Trump and Vance by releasing all that blackmail they got regarding Epstein. Let's hope they eat each other.

They're going to release it in small increments until Trump gives them what they want.

Let’s hope they eat each other.

That would be amusing.

The saying goes that JD Vance already toppled Orban and killed the Pope.

If I were Netanyahu, I'd hide in my Hitler bunker to avoid him. Perhaps lure him into a Palestinian zone and send a few drones his way.

either Vance or Netenyahu offing each other would be a win for the world. The only way we all lose is if neither one pulls it off.

A Saddam bunker is less roomy, and nobody has to dig your grave.

We can't have that. Netanyahu may be worse than Hitler (he is in my eyes since I've ever had to deal with Hitler through history books book but I have to share the same air as this evil degenerate high on power), so he deserves a bigger bunker.

Hitler also had enough morality left to off himself and spare others the trouble. I doubt Netanyahu has the same courage.

His last election was only won by a technicality, he's not going to survive another after all this.

If that was the end result of this war Israel more or less started, it would be just too good. I don't know if I could handle that after Ukraine starting to bomb Moscow and US losing to Iran.

So powerful they couldn't even handle fucking IRAN...

All they managed to do was prove that, much like Russia, they are completely unprepared for the type of asymmetric warfare taking place in the modern world. Numbers don't mean shit anymore. They only lost 12 soldiers and STILL lost. it's a new world. Has been for a long time. America still thinks troop numbers and money spent actually matter.

Lol, this aint gonna go too well for vance.

Sucking up to his boss for protection is clearly the angle here. Must be real scared because the base is blaming him instead of the guy in charge. I wonder if the lapdog reputation will so easily go away once the cult of personality isn't around anymore, after all by 80 years old we all know our days are numbered.

Israel has a lot of US politicians in their pocket and doesn't care about the cult beyond how they can use it. This to me looks like the walls closing in. Hasn't he been sidelined already recently?

That'd be nice it it were true. Based on the resurfacing of evil scumbags from previous administrations decades later, I doubt it. Not unless the US grows a sack and goes Nuremberg 2.0 on the fuckers. I'm not optimistic about that.

Well if I was running against any of them, I'd just remind the public every time possible about the disastrous war they lost.

Then again, not all important positions are elected and some voters are really really fucking stupid, so it might be too much to hope for.

I wonder if his poking Netanyahu in the eye will be the trigger for the R's to invoke the 25th on Trump? Maybe that's the third rail. Or maybe they're completely servile and there's nothing Trump can go that'll get him booted out.
