"But we do take cash"
And oil?
So, Israel is included in our sovereignty. Got it.
Look at this guy trying to make sense of a GOP policy statement. You go!
They are all sophists first and foremost.
Peperridge farm remembers USS Liberty!

All the complaints about supposed violations of international law that the US has made in the past really ring hollow now that Johnson has said the quiet part out loud: international bodies are designed to control the "impoverished, barbaric" Global East and South, not the "enlightened" Global West.
Pretty sure only USA thinks it's above international bodies.
Well they did set a precedent when they walked into Iraq against the international bodies wishes.
All the big players learned that if the US won't play ball, they won't either.
Israel played a role in that one too btw
With an ally like that, who needs enemies?

"rules based international order" we shill relied on appearances of propriety, the more the US acts in this fashion the quicker the system is getting eroded.
Current "leadershIp" is willing to lose a lot face here for a foreign state, which is rather perplexing from national security and sovereignty perspective. What is the US winning here? And if we are not getting anything in return, then why are we supporting Israel's war crimes at our expense?
Israel serves many purposes for the US.
Its our casus belli on a stick against Iran.
Its our nuke in a black box against Russia and China
Its our staging ground for when this whole climate change dealio gets sorted out and we need somewhere new to drill.
It's a bunch of white enough people we can defend against any new terror organization that miraculously appears where we wanted to invade.
Its our theocratic imperative to kick off Armageddon.
It's a place we can subtly suggest all our domestic Jews move to.
It funds the most regressive and hawkish politicians in our government.
It's our laboratory for new mass surveillance and border control technology.
It's our training ground for LEOs, FBI, ICE, ect. who literally go to Israel to learn urban warfare tactics.
It's our unsinkable aircraft carrier in the most oil rich region in the world.
It's our shield of plausible deniability when we want to act against our enemies without drawing backlash at home or abroad.
Israel really is the gift that keeps on giving!
pretty comprehensive answer. definitely a strong nominee for the go-to comment every time this question pops up.
Not pretty sure, definitely. See: The Invasion of The Hague act
And Israel, and any other country whose rulers decide that they disagree with the rest.
Everyone thinks they're above international bodies, but most don't pretend that they don't think so.
I mean, other than Exxon, Shell or BP.
And the Knesset.
And Putin.
But other than that!
That's why international relations and treaties are hard, since anyone can just decide they don't want to honor them any more. You need to make it enticing for all parties to stay committed somehow.
Maybe with T.G.I Friday's coupons?
Somebody get the UN on the phone, they’re going to want to hear this.
When did Israel become "our sovereignty"? 🤔
Really? You did bury other countries sovereignty many times.
Pissing off the International Community is how we Strengthen Our Defenses AGAINST Terror Attacks!
My book titled "If I did it" is raising a lot of questions as to whether or not I did it
Johnson, the guy who puts a specific rightwing Christianity over America’s sovereignty?
Sovereignty has been one of the biggest bullshit propaganda tells in recent times. 99% of the time, anyone who uses it is bullshitting you and probably doesn't know what it even means.
In case of USA it's pretty clear, nearly every time it just means "hegemony"
