The United States will not withhold military aid from Israel, the State Department said Tuesday, after top Biden administration officials warned a month ago that they would consider doing so if the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza did not improve.

Aid groups and U.N. officials say Israel has largely failed to comply with U.S. demands, a Washington Post analysis found.

I mean, it’s a highly visible strategic military position. I’m sure that American can technically give it up, but it’s a huge cost.

US is global military hegemon, no matter how many civ games might make one think they have a cultural victory.

The US is when you’ve dominated the map militarily, neuter the other civs instead of sacking them, and then spend the rest of the game uncontested getting the cultural victory for the lulz.
