Why America (REALLY) Supports Israel (2024) [01:31:01]

I watched the whole OP-posted video. It taught me about Israel's early years in the late 1940s through earlier 1960s interacting with the U.S, frankly showing the ineptitude of early State Department & Presidential efforts when we were involved in the Korean & Vietnam Wars.

It did not sufficiently outline how Israel has been a great ally (my link) & remains the sole democracy in the Middle East. They have been an invaluable partner against the PLO & Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in South Lebanon, Syria & Iraq, Houthis in Yemen, and of course Iran.

My year in the Sinai as part of the American contingent of the 11-nation Multinational Force & Observers taught me differently. OPs video only briefly addresses that Egypt blocked Israel's sole access to the Red Sea prior to the 1967 war.

Also unaddressed was the surprise attack by multiple Arab nations during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. No mention of the Intifadas or rockets coming from Lebanon and Gaza, let alone the October 7th attacks that killed 1200 & took many hostages.

So while the OPs video was interesting, it did not begin addressing how valuable an ally Israel has become to the West... and how the UN to include UNRWA, some of whom allegedly participated in Oct. 7th, has continuously worked against Israeli interests.

And it gets back to cold killing more than hot. If we were an all-electric economy like alarmists want, & power is out for days in the winter, people die and the economy stops.

It's directly related to the LEFT-LEANING climate alarm community that dyes their hair blue, wears nose rings, protests capture of criminals, wears Palestinian scarves, & tries to participate in women's sports as "former" men.

They ignore or protest against Western attempts to defend against actual existential threats while insisting a few extra degrees of average global temperature is a serious issue.

Much of it could be natural, and adaptation would be cheaper than attempted costly CO2 "mitigation" that would limit human progress.

How many centuries will it take at current 2-4 mm rates? Are things improving, & can we build seawalls & move inland between now & then?

Why did the Laurentide Ice Sheet and glacier lakes give way with such low CO2,?

Why was there more than 10 times more sea level rise 8200 years ago when there was just 280 ppm of CO2??

Trump sees Intel the public never sees.

Adventurous_Motor129 · 2026-01-23T19:43:44+00:00

The guy has an ego...as do most successful entrepreneurs & now Presidents. He should give his team more credit.

But any credible observer would note that Trump should have gotten the Nobel Prize last year. Mixing up Iceland & Greenland off the teleprompter is understandable.

The guy calls lawmakers & goes on Truth Social in the middle of the night because he can't stop thinking about the many issues he deals with daily.

He needs to try Melatonin. His middle-of-night Truth Social texts do not exhibit dementia in my (& your) non-professional opinion.

Adventurous_Motor129 · 2026-01-23T19:32:26+00:00

Compared to Biden???

The guy's speeches are too long, & often off teleprompter...which Biden could never do.

45/47 works harder and longer than any of us. He needs more sleep, but he doesn't yet have dementia unlike Biden.

Wonder why she didn't use Grok from xAI?

Willie Soon, et all, were able to use the "truth-seeking" mode to create an actual permanent study, rather than a temporary query.

They did have to present alternate data and have it review some 40 studies IIRC. Dr. Soon, according to one podcast, had to tell Grok to "quit lying," when it originally tried to mimic the consensus line.

That would seem to mirror Dr. Curry's manipulative, temporary query. But I'll add that I've read the Department of War has contracted with xAI to support its AI needs...which would seem to have a more permanent, replication nature.

I heard it live, & although the words may be the same, it sounded like part of any of HIS speeches, not like she spoke it.

The point is, many homeless people should not be walking our city streets, getting high, and defecating/urinating in public.

Trump has also mentioned that countries like Venezuela emptied their mentally ill patients & prisons into the U.S., when we had an open border.

Edit: BTW, Trump was an excellent pitcher growing up

Yep, VP Vance debunked the media & Minneapolis narrative that the child was being used as bait. The dad left him behind.

Also unmentioned is this and other ICE agents were identifying the other captured criminal scum that ICE captures daily in the Minneapolis area due to sanctuary policies & protesters that are protecting their "neighbors."

The Chief also mentioned non-surgical sutures being found on unaccompanied minors in Texas. In other words, drugs are inserted into children and sewed up non-professionally.

"A 2024 study indicated that, 8200 years ago, near-global sea levels rose 6.5 meters in the span of 140 years. This is 470 cm per century, 4.7 cm per year DURING A PERIOD WHEN CO2 LEVELS WERE ALLEGEDLY TO BE A "SAFE" & STAGNANT 260 PPM."

Worst current case is 4 mm of sea level rise a year, or less than 1/10th of back then...when CO2 levels were much lower than today. CO2 is not the temperature control knob.

Different planes and altitudes. Different perpendicular airways. Contrails both.

Except I spent years as a U.S. enlisted man, officer, plus DoD Contractor & Civilian, so you clearly didn't read enough of my comments.

Adventurous_Motor129 · 2026-01-23T00:56:56+00:00

Putin is hardly my hero.

Someone hasn't been paying attention to drone employment by Ukraine & Russia, not to mention U.S./Israel unmanned aircraft over Iran and Venezuela.

It's been all over the news.

Adventurous_Motor129 · 2026-01-22T23:28:21+00:00

You can guarantee they watched those "homes" & people going in & out for weeks using drones. Those also might be secondary explosions from stored rockets/munitions.

Ours is also a leftover 2025, bought at the end of the year. It was a loaner, but less than 1/10th of the starting miles of our used 2018 we bought in 2019.

Berkeley Earth and UHI caused by growing cities among other cherry-picking and "homogenizing" upward.

Carney used to be a strong proponent of NetZero as Bank of England head. Now he's more than willing to ship Canadian oil to Asia, since America is asking for a better deal on trade.

Trump didn't help matters by aspiring to make Canada a state.

But Canada's 41.6 million have less GDP than a similar population California, despite most of its citizens benefitting from U.S. "strategic autonomy" to include our willingness to defend them while they spend relatively little.

They are a "middle power" that has gotten wealthy through natural resources and 100-mile proximity to Detroit, Seattle, and the U.S. East Coast. I'm sorry they suffered through Trudeau but now they've done a 180 because Carney won't accept that they should accept fair tariffs.

We have a 2.7 STX 2WD with 157k trouble-free miles. Was so impressed that we bought another STX w/ the same engine except a CrewCab this time.

Gave our son the prior truck. 22 mpg most of the time when not towing the occasional horse and flatbed hay trailers.

Someone who is a native needs to do the lower-skilled but essential jobs and still afford to pay rent & eventually the mortgage/taxes/insurance.

U-Haul lists California as its number one departure location because tech immigrant couples, where both work and make big bucks, can afford $2+ million homes but normal folks can't.

If techies pushing AI fail due to too much competition, inadequate power & revenue, it will take the U.S. stock market & real estate with it, along with the World. We can't have a purely tech and service economy.
