I do think the US could handle the situation a little better. We can protect Israel from Iran and company without directly providing them bombs for Gaza while still getting everything the US wants.
But the primary blame here absolutely lies with Israel. Bibi is making the decisions.
The thing is, when were talking “providing munitions and bombs” this is not like a US Senetor signing an invoice form. These deals are handled by private defense contractors who essentially are war stock brokers who either hop on government requisition contracts or middleman the logistics of shipping.
The “government’s” only actual input is posting the RFIs and signing off on the contractors involvement.
And these contractors are literally anyone. You and I could start a LLC right now and because of FAR requirements (laws that give small buisnesses advantage on some contracts) start bidding on these contracts with no prior experience whatsoever.
Bibi is on the consumer end of the deals so I don’t doubt he has near full involvement. But the reason the US is to blame, is they allow the open market trade of Warfare.
“us”? Who is bombing?
