I’m following the dispute over the stolen grain between Ukraine and Israel, and once again, I’m stunned by the tone-deafness of the defenders of Israel’s actions.
“We don’t need anybody, we don’t need anybody’s support or goodwill” is their position. I’ve never seen a country piss away so much goodwill and sympathy so fast and for absolutely no gain.
This is obviously not about the grain. It’s about the superciliousness that hinges on a fantasy that Trump will be president forever. Which is nuts as an animating general principle. Where’s the intelligence? Where is the long game? Forget Ukraine. I don’t vote in Ukraine. I vote in America. What happens when Americans start voting for explicitly anti-Israel candidates?
