That'll be a US military post, and Netenyahu is already on Planck thin ice with the Biden Admin for how much shit this war has put him in stateside, I would not underestimate at all the possibility of a cold war style "incident" sweeping a more compliant Israeli government in if Bibi tried something as spectacularly stupid as to openly attack US military personnel

I think /c/NCD would implode if IDF attacked a US Navy port lmao. The countless Abrams vs Merkava memes alone would crash their instance.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

I’m not saying this will happen or is the plan, but within 5 minutes of hearing this news I thought, “what if someone claiming to be Hamas attacked this port?”

I really hope the last ten years has just ruined me and caused me to only expect the worst

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Probably the US would seize the controls from Israel and actually fight like it's a war instead of a genocide to replace Hamas with Fatah

Or maybe Gaza will become yet another attempt by the US to establish an Arab democracy over all the other Arab states doing everything possible to sabotage the effort to avoid such notions spreading to their borders as well.

Shit Syria alone will be doing it because they think the problem with Israel's Euphrates to Nile plan is that they wouldn't be the ones in charge of it.

Okay I'm not a fan of the modern Arab states but if you think US attempts to establish "Democracy" in the Middle Easts were anything more than fools errands doomed to failure you have some history to read.

Oh they won't kill anyone at the post. They'll wait until they're leaving with the food aid they've been given and then kill them.

Didnt Israel hit a US ship with a missile in one of their Egypt wars?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Yep, and absolutely no real repercussions resulted

It's not going to be a US Naval Base. There's no way to do without at least Marines and SPs on the ground and Biden already said no boots on the ground. My money is the Navy dropping it and leaving it

Wouldn't be out of character for them.
