But yes, I would support the US decolonizing its own puppets.

That wasn't the question.

Would you uncritically support Israel, if they had a falling out with the US and started criticizing the US? Getting no military funding from us anymore, and getting up at the UN and calling out the US and giving criticism and making friends with countries that were avowed enemies of the US (while still killing Palestinians exactly like at present)?

I feel like you're saying you would, but I want to make sure I'm hearing you right.

It gets more complicated when US is on both sides or the same side as one of its enemies; eg, China supplying weapons to US puppets Indonesia and Philippians against their maoist guerillas.

But yes, in such a world where the US was openly taking action against one of their puppets, I'd have to support it, and be critical of whoever is supporting them.

It would be one hell of a historical fluke though.

making friends with countries that were avowed enemies of the US

They kinda have been, historically, in the late 40s, the USSR sent them some weapons, and more recently, they had warm relations with Russia and China.
