The White House is exploring the possibility of airdropping aid from U.S. military planes into Gaza as deliveries by land become increasingly difficult, four U.S. officials told Axios.

    It would be more than enough of a blow. To even suggest withholding aid would be enough to stop this madness. Israel doesn’t exactly have many regional friends, they haven’t exactly been great neighbors. Meanwhile, the Arab nations are watching the same genocide we are, ones not dependent on US aid. If the US was even hinting at this, Israel will fold, immediately. This genocide doesn’t happen without US support.

      I disagree. I think all of BB’s rhetoric has him painted into a corner to the point he can’t back down come hell or high water, and anything short of a blockade or US troops holding gaza won’t actually change anything but the propaganda.

        They gave back Sinai specifically because they lost that military advantage, though. Arab militaries now aren’t the pussies they were in 1967.

          Not to mention Turkey, Iran, and Pakistan have more than enough force projection now to join in this time

            For Iran or Pakistan to join, they would have to go through Jordan which is unlikely given their alliance with both Israel and the US. I suppose Turkey could attack from the sea, but they are part of NATO and would be fucking themselves.
