      it’s not a proxy war they’re just using American money and weapons and some American citizen soldiers

        And America is using that to exert their influence on that region in the world. Sure sounds like a proxy. Just because Israel has more power in American politics compared to Ukraine doesn’t mean they aren’t a proxy.

          You have to say “I declare proxy war” if you’re a white country, but if you’re a brown country you’re presumed to be a valid target for any conflict that has brown people in it. For example see the US invasion of Iraq.

          It’s liberal geopolitics 101

      I mean, the difference being that the US has a say in how one in conducted, and a very justified interest in it’s outcome, while the other is in the Middle East.

      Why they are running a proxy war that’s out of control and doesn’t help anything is a good question, and one that can only have stupid answers.

        Can confirm, am American and am tired of our foreign policy decisions in both Ukraine and Israel. We should honestly just drop our Israeli alliance at this point, it’s a liability.
