I believe Clinton would have embarked on Operation Syrian Freedom; round two of Operation Iraqi Freedom -- Another huge commitment of US ground troops. If this involved war with Russia, she was ready to do that.
Trump won't do anything like that.
But to think that the Military/Congressional Industrial Complex will somehow be uprooted or purged like the cancer it is - that President Eisenhower warned against - that won't happen.

There is the whole damn argument in a nutshell. No way the STATE of Israel wants, allows, or survives a Palestinian (I.e., Jew-hating, terrorist version) State just across a paltry fence from them. Everybody can just move on...until the *Palestinians* let go of their "right to return" bs, which in essence, means the Demographic end of the State of Israel. Just like immigration (read invasion) will change this Nation if allowed to the point that basic ethnicity/culture is "fundamentally transformed".
The Israelis changed the ethnicity/culture when they allowed massive immigration of Russian and European Jews who had little in common with the indigenous people of the region. Prior to this influx, the Palestinians and Jews in the region got along fine.
Israel is the Kudzu of the Middle East. Its creation was a mistake that has been proven by over 60 years of conflict.

So what do we get out of our relationship with Israel? With the Saudis, we get access to cheap oil, so I get that. Iraq is pretty much a client state at the moment, so we have strategic partners there. What are we getting from Israel that justifies us sending them $38 billion in military aid especially when Bibi tells the US to frick off pretty often?
I'm actually surprised Trump isn't saying anything about this especially in light of how he was talking about reexamining our relationship with NATO.

It's not cheap oil that the US wants. Its the economic weapon that is OPEC that they want.

WhiskyPapa, and you called ME "retarded" in another thread? Good Lord. Comparing Jews to Nazis in any context is not rational & hate inspired. Not supporting the State of Israel is one thing; that is a political choice. Hating it & attacking its people...Jews..is a whole different dynamic. Your last sentence could have been taken from Joseph Goebbel's own diary.
