Lol.

I assume you forgot about 9/11?

We stomped all over the Middle East after that.

While it might have felt good at the time, it was a strategic disaster, given we handed Iraq off to the Iranians, 15 years after the Iran Iraq War. We handed Afghanistan off to the Taliban and gifted them a billion dollars worth of weapons, after blowing off a couple trillion in the process.

Right now our markets are casinos, in extreme bubble stage, sustained entirely by the belief the Fed will come to the rescue again and drop interest rates, should it get too shaky.

I grew up in the horse racing industry. I know what rich people do with their money and it involves a lot of vanity. Israel is a vanity project by rich Western Jews and while a lot of it might be the middle class ones tithing to The Cause, the big gobs of that money come from a banking system that has been highjacked to siphon wealth out of the larger economy, not just circulate it effectively, like a proper circulation system. Sort of like the heart telling the hands and feet to go suck dirt, because it's keeping the blood for itself.

Now that the underlaying economy has been hollowed out, the amount of real wealth to skim is about to go south.

Consider as well that much of the basic American support comes from fundamentalist Christians. Aaron Bushnell was one of those. Will the younger generation of that crowd continue to see Israel as some holy icon?

Unless I have a horse in the race, I just handicap it and while Israel might be first out of the gate, I see it fading down the stretch.

My views on the bigger picture;
