International law is pretty clear on this. It was illegal.

Donald has announced that he is running Venezuela now, and I have just emailed him volunteering myself to run Britain if he wants to do a regime change here.

Yet you knock little Israel when they take on aggressive much bigger nations that surround them.

Militarily Israel is not little.

Even though I'm not a huge fan of this government, I'd rather make do than have a corrupt senile casino bankrupter take over.

Little Israel couldn't survive on its own.
Its merely the cutting edge of American and European policy in the region.

Possibly, but they put up a pretty good show. A country the size of Wales that could p155 all over the UK and the whole of the EU without breaking sweat. With or without the US, they're capable, very capable, they have to be.

I believe Germany have just spent quite a large number of billions to acquire their Iron Dome system to protect them from those nasty Russians.

Could Israel survive without the ship loads of weapons supplied by the US though?

Yes.

International law is pretty clear on this. It was illegal.

But how is international law enforced, and what are the penalties for breaking it?

 

[Elsa TLC]

Your right , but it dwarfed by surrounding foe nations that wish it harm.

Could Russia have won the eastern front without British aid.

Nations come together to beat aggressive nations. I think thats why Nato was set up.

I think.​

Israel are the 8th largest exporter of weaponry globally, which is impressive given they use most of it themselves out of necessity.

Most of these 7 Million would have designs on settling in the US. Add this to the drugs that is fueling the North American drug industry, gives Trump every right to do as he has done.

He's gone quiet now about doing it to stop drugs getting into USA. But it won't make any difference, drugs from Venezuela were only a small part of the total, and if Americans want to carry on killing themselves with overdoses there'll be no shortage of other suppliers.
