Depends on who and when. George HW Bush for instance gave Israel a very short leash, and was highly critical to the point of tension. He withheld financial support as coercion to slow down Israeli expansion into Palestine territories. This post also fails to address and dismisses the fact the USA is the third biggest country in the world with many factions desiring different actions and outcomes. Zionist lobbies would want a total victory, surely? But the military contractors would probably want the war to be indecisive and long, with no reason to want either side to win or lose. I’m sure the Biden administration is actually incredibly frustrated with Israel’s recent inability of restraint; making it much harder to justify support of Israel. Eternal threat of war maintaining status quo would have been preferable over this. I don’t think they actually have compassion for Palestine at all but I do 100% they are incredibly mad at Israel for escalation and putting them in an diplomatic position. So just from what I can observe, three factions have different objectives. I feel like the Biden administration would want the situation to revert as closely as it could to pre-war, the military would want a prolonged conflict, and Zionists want total victory. Of course this is conjecture but I can’t imagine a situation where they major players actually desire the same end objective, as they’d all be trying to further their own goals.

Hasn't that just led to Russia and China's involvement in Africa over western intervention? Russia's supported that recent military coup and on paper, China pulling African countries into the belt & road project isn't so bad... but in effect it's been pretty heavy-handed economic imperialism with very predatory loans that let China essentially take over a country's infrastructure entirely - which is like the US style of economic imperialism but much more heavy handed. Imperialism never really ended, we just live in an era of more sneaky & dishonest imperialism.

Their best song

First couple of albums were good, then they started falling off very quickly. The stuff from the last decade is horrific.
