What does Israel do for the U.S.?

What is wrong with one-sided? What Tehran wants is not what Tehran gets. They will end up like Iraq. The minute their nuclear plant becomes nuclear warhead capable, Israel will take it out. Yes Israel helps control Hamas, Iran and the other extremist Arab states by its mere presence in that region. Israel has already taken out Iraqs nuclear power plant in Osirak back in the early 80s.

Explain to vivify why the USA doesn't "take it out".

Nothing is wrong with allies sharing technology. Its a not a worldwide free for all. If I like you I will share my advanced weapons technology with you. Got it? If I think your government is crooked .. get lost.

To avoid backlash. USA rather avoid that. Israel dont give a $$hitt and is itching to take it out. They waiting for them to waste more money buying enriched uranium... then ... Kaaboomm !!! 😀

Why didn't Reagan bomb Iraq's nuclear power plant instead of Israel? Saddam was an ally of the USA at the time. REAGAN CONDEMNED THE BOMBING.

The USA already invaded Iraq and occupied Iraq at the time Soleimani was assassinated. There was no reason for subterfuge in that case.

Iraq was by no means a "puppet" government. Who goes to war with their own "puppet"....twice?

So again, this "puppet" theory is lacking, given the U.S.' extensive history of warmongering. The U.S. has never needed anyone to do it's dirty work, including killing an Iranian General, toppling the Iraqi government, etc., etc., etc.

Iranian nukes are no threat to the USA

Who says Iraq became a puppet the first time?
Regime change never took place until after 911.

Your knowledge of history is lacking.

They are a threat to the USA if the goal is to invade and occupy Iran. Are you suggesting the USA has applied crippling sanctions and insists they not have nukes for no reason?

What currency does Iran accept for the sale of oil? Not the US dollar. That is what the maximum pressure policy is for, to compel Iran into selling their oil for only US dollars like Saudi Arabia does.

Why do you think the US government condoned the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi?

https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2021/02/politics/khashoggi-report-annotated/

The USA has foreign policy double standards for a reason. Saudi Arabia sells oil exclusively for US dollars. The US government can condone the assassination of 100 journalists for that important compliance.

Do you understand the importance of the petrodollar now?

But Hamas would not exist if it were not for the imposition of the state of Israel and its subsequent mistreatment of the Palestinians.
You cannot say that Israel serves the purpose of suppressing the chaos that it causes, it’s a circular argument at best. It’s a bit like saying a rapist is there to make sure the victim doesn’t get pregnant by using a condom.
If he wasn’t a rapist he wouldn’t need a condom.

there is never an excuse for terrorist actions...are you really defending the firing of rockets solely to kill innocent people? doesnt matter who or what, just kill people?

utterly stupid statement. when did you get such confidence in a ruthless, murderous regime to do the right thing?

Your example is pretty lame. The fact is the US and the UK and several other states are allies with Israel. Hamas is like an annoying mosquito that will one day get squashed. Israel's presence in that region is a critical asset to many nations who value the intelligence and vital info on activities of terrorists, and the ability to react quickly in case it becomes necessary

Are you defending the Israeli rockets paid for by your taxes doing exactly the same thing?
What nonsense are you peddling now, is it the Israeli ‘we only target Hamas’ BS line that no one takes seriously.

When did you get such confidence in a ruthless, murderous regime to launch enough MIRVs via ICBMs 7000 miles to overwhelm US anti ballistic defenses? Even China can’t do that.
