Obama cripples AIPAC

[The Mikado]

It's taken decades, but it's good to see we finally have a leader who is willing to openly consider whether our ridiculously one-sided deal with Israel in which we ignore them spying on us and turn a blind eye to their bad behavior while supplying them with billions of dollars carte blanche is actually in our national interests. The United States gets absolutely nothing from its "alliance" with Israel and it's about time the government finally woke up to its strategic folly in committing to this relationship.

Syria isn't exactly in a position to invade anyone, let alone Israel, any time in the foreseeable future. The Syrian military, while up from its 2014 lows, is still barely over half the size it was in 2011, and it's fighting many armed factions within its own borders.
