My friend Dave Decamp on Israel:
"They want the surrounding states to be completely broken and shattered so they cannot challenge Israel in any way."
Immediately after I heard Dave say this, I realized that Israel is a microcosm of U.S. policy towards the whole world.
No other nation is permitted to be capable of challenging the U.S.
It's called the "Wolfowitz Doctrine."
This is why we Americans are told that Russia and China (and the other nations that don't bow down) are our enemies.
So Israel is the micro and the U.S. the macro of the same idea.
And unsurprisingly, the U.S. is the military muscle that shatters Israel's neighbors. (Iraq, Syria, Iran...)
This is all very bad.
America can never be America if this is its foreign policy.
And clearly Trump is not the guy to make America great again.
