It’s a little ironic, but we’re in the same boat France was, in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq after 9/11.
We’re distant enough to have some perspective, and we have personal experience with this exact phenomenon. But whether we like it or not, we do have a pre-existing diplomatic and military relationship at play, and that complicates matters severely. Not supporting your allies in their time of need, regardless of whether they deserve it or not, is a heavy choice to make, with consequences of its own.
Bro the US can literally flip flop in any direction every 4 years. The only thing it cares about is money, and the best way to make that money is with war and oil. That should be the national motto.
