| This is “Off the Cuff”, quick-and-dirty. DEMs help REPs BANKRUPT USA; time to STOP USA is Bankrupt Is the USA (now) bankrupted? I think so. $38 TRILLION in debt, growing each year because: • no taxes on RICH • outta-sight “DEFENSE” budget • ridiculous support for ISRAEL (ridiculous because vastly expensive and of no possible benefit to USA) (cost of USA’s wars and support for Israelhas been $8T since 9/11) • HUGE ANNUAL INTEREST PAYMENTS on existing $38-Trillion debt ($970B in 2025) • AND (NEW) BRICS (China, India, Brazil, IRAN, Russia) backing away from DOLLAR as “RESERVE CURRENCY” • CONTINUING insistence on (VERY EXPENSIVE and UNHELPFUL) WAR, WAR, WAR (Ukraine, Gaza, Venezuela, CHINA ??) DEMS Help REPs Bankrupt USA DEMs vote for all the wars anyone proposes, and the proposer-in-chief has since 9/11 been Israel, demanding/commanding that the USA fight very expensive wars (in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Iran, Yemen), and DEMs approve every such war and all military and financial aid to Israel. Why Are DEMS Helping REPs Bankrupt USA? BAD IDEOLOGIES: • ISRAEL FIRST • WAR is GOOD, PEACE IS BAD • SUBSERVIENCE TO OLIGARCHS IS NECESSARY (Mamdani, AOC, Sanders say NO-NO-NO) BAD KNOWLEDGE OF IMPORTANT FACTS • DEMs believe USA is invincible in war (ignoring short war lost to Yemen, 12-day-only attack on Iran, major long-term losses in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam) • DEMs are unaware of recent changes on military technology (drones, cheap hard-to-shoot-down missiles) • DEMs don’t register the fact that anti-missile missiles are MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE than the missiles they seek to shoot down, so that protracted war becomes very expensive to defender (Israel, USA-in -Gulf) • DEMs believe the USA is a (or “the”) major world economic power, no longer true as China overtakes the USA. CORRUPTION: • unwillingness to BACK AWAY from CORPORATE TEAT (BIG-MONEY from OLIGARCHS) • political power of AIPAC • political power of Military-Industrial-Complex Is Israel Bankrupt Already? • Israel could not fight the Gaza “war” (GENOCIDE) without MASSIVE $$$ from USA • Israel’s ECONOMY is busted • Israel has suffered TERRIBLE DAMAGE from its criminal attack and 12-day war on IRAN • Israel has suffered terrible REPUTATIONAL DAMAGE due to the GENOCIDE • Israel has suffered terrible REPUTATIONAL DAMAGE due to the CHEERFUL PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR THE GENOCIDE • Israel has an INSANE LEADER (Bibi Netanyahu) who (for personal reasons) will (likely) PUSH MORE WARS My conclusion: without continuing annual subsidies from the USA, Israel would be “spoorlos versenkt” (sunk without a trace). Comment On Israeli Democracy Like the USA, Israel has long been a practitioner of endless aggressive war, imperialist war. Unlike the USA, Israel’s Jewish-Zionist population (80% of Israel’s total population) is entirely on-board with these wars. Israeli Jewish-Zionist citizens have not been complaining about the character of the war in Gaza unless to say it should be even more destructive, but only complain about the failure of the government to secure release of the hostages. Israel’s Jewish-Zionist citizens, on the whole, show near perfect approval of the present (11/4/2025) 2-year-old genocide in Gaza. The mass killing, especially of children, the murder of reporters, the torture of prisoners, the wanton destruction of civilian infrastructure (hospitals, universities, housing) is all “kosher” for Israel’s Jewish-Zionist majority. I judge the Israeli Zionist-Jews as being grotesquely evil. I judge that Zionism, as currently practiced, is evil. Are Israel’s Zionist-Jews intrinsically evil? I don’t think so. No-one is born evil. Israeli children, while still young, are not, in my view, evil terrorists. But they become terrorists as they grow older under the Israeli indoctrination system. Israeli Jewish citizens have been brainwashed since infancy with the idea that Israel is surrounded by terrorists who want to kill all the Jews. This “education” or propaganda is not true and was never true and the conclusion arising from this mass mis-education has been to transform small innocent Israeli Jewish children into cruel monsters. Terrorists. The consistent USA support for Israel despite Israel’s cruel oppression of the Palestinians, especially since 1967, has convinced Israelis that they enjoy de facto immunity and impunity with respect to their consistent violation of international law, their negative transformation of international opinion, and their notorious abandonment of ordinary decency. By virtue of USA’s protection, Israeli governments have practiced evil; and their citizens have felt that all was OK. Today, not only the Israeli state but the Israeli Jewish people have become pariahs world-wide. And mental self-protection has set in, persuading Israeli Jewish-Zionists that everything they’ve been doing since 1947 was OK; the alternative, namely recognizing reality and learning history, has not yet set in. Only collapse of the state may be a sufficient “reality-check” to work any sort of correction. An abrupt cut-off of all USA aid—military, financial, and diplomatic, would, IMO, be the right medicine. The mis-education I referred to above was never necessary. Like Israel’s many “wars-of-choice”, the early policy of establishing—and educating for—Jewish supremacy in Palestine was a choice. Some early (pre-1947) Zionists such as Judah Magnes and Ahad Ha’Am, believed and taught that the Jews in Palestine should work to form a bi-national democracy in equal terms with the Palestinians. I think they were right. As Judah Magnes wrote, Moreover, a Jewish Home in Palestine built up on bayonets and oppression is not worth having, even though it succeed, whereas the very attempt to build it up peacefully, cooperatively, with understanding, education, and good will, is worth a great deal, even though the attempt should fail.. |
