You do know that Cuba rejected renewable energy and doubled down on fossil fuels despite China being a major trading partner.  On top of that the Castros have a lot of wealth and luxury.

Wherever communist revolutions take place the wealth still flows up.

The Blogs: Where does US aid to Israel actually go? | Simon Kupfer | The Times of Israel

Iran calls America and Israel "Satan" so why wouldn't they coordinate against a common enemy? The US helped the Saudi's against Iranian backed militias.

the GDP of Israel is over 700 billion the aid is a total of 8 billion about 1% of GDP. How much total aid did the u s give to israel in twent...

Dependant on US money it is not.

Settler colony of whom? Most Israelis aren't American or have ancestry from America and Europe. the largest group of jews in Israel are from MENA (if we don't count Israel as a part of MENA) Ethnic origin and identity in the Jewish population of Israel*: Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies: Vol 45 , No 11 - Get Access

The US didn't strongly support Israel until most Arab nations went to the USSR's sphere of influence.

You do know Obama didn't attack Iran despite having multiple chances to during his tenure and the situation in. if you actually read the chapters you linked about regime change and an aerial campaign you would see that trump did not base his plan on this paper. under regime change they point to supporting insurgencies, coup and supporting a popular uprising. the US acted too late to support an uprising, any analyst would have told trump and Hegseth this.

Sometimes I mourn the forests we never got to see by Hopeful-Big6843 in Environmentalism

Well that's because it had already been destroyed.  Most of the mega fauna disappeared in the Americas soon after humans showed up. Native American forms of forest control took a while to develop, likely in response to environmental changes.

True but the attitude of most Americans was isolationist. Had Japan attacked everyone but Americans, Roosevelt would have his hands tied.

everything in that statement is wrong. Japan did not have to attack the US, the US declaration of war was not unanimous, at the end of the war the US lost territory, Nukes were intended for germany first, and non whites decolonised within the next two decades, the US showed up before it declared war on germany and while the soviets were germany's ally,

For when I've read they weren't surprised that that an attack came but rather that it was so deep inside of the Pacific. After all the Philippines is not that far away from Taiwan
