I think it’s wise to never underestimate the will of fascists. Berlin fought till the last child. The continued existence of the state and their recent experiences will only harden and embolden their genocidal rhetoric passed down generation to generation, thus further entrenching their will. The end isn’t in sight as long as the United States is willing to bank-roll and prop them up.
As for having nuclear weapons, I don’t see how distant it is that the United States would have a nuclear-armed vassal. Nuclear weapons were deployed in Turkey near the Soviet border leading up to the Cuban missile crisis.
Yes and plenty of them fled to the US etc too and were a plague on Latin America. Same would happen with the IDF. Same will happen with the Azov guys (alrdy has a bit in Syria).
In the broader context of the US downsizing its worldwide ambitions to smaller goals like establishing Israel, El Salvador, Ecuador, Somalia, the end is in sight within a lifetime. I’m not saying anything will be easy. The overarching point is that Israel cannot operate independently of US and European support without becoming a fundamentally different kind of state. There is no alternative to NATO with global military logistics and financial power, based in all of these entangled geopolitical interests. Some countries have more normal hobbies than that, and knowing none of them have a chance to reestablish that system makes mutual development the only path which makes sense. You can try to be like Modi or Erdogan but man is it fucking embarrassing. The old subimperialists will probably be the smaller antagonists of the Long Chinese Millenium for sure. I just think we are creaking along towards Chinese space station future, they’re not going to nuke Gaza, people should get ready to win IMO

Agreed.

This is the most cursed option, so most likely to happen! /s
they’re not going to nuke Gaza
Oh no no, I was never implying that. I would feel like they would use it only if they were in a survival scenario against Iran. That’s pretty much what I meant, as long as they exist they will be used to pursue the goals of the United States. Despite the downsizing, the U.S still needs to retain spheres of influence and the Middle East is a gate to Africa, Europe, Russia and Asia. I agree with the Chinese century in space as well. When The Entity does collapse though, it won’t be pretty. Nukes may be a part of that.
Sorry for the unclear hyperbole, considering turning the entire place into a firestorm was entirely possible if unfeasible, so there is no reason to read it as hyperbole. I understood what you + others meant about nuking the region in the end.
