The disruption in gas supply will be very short. Weeks, at most. The gulf states will be very happy to see the Islamic Republic gone, they are living in its shadow for a long time now. Now, Ukraine and Israel need very different kinds of support, and things like US withholding intelligence from Ukraine have nothing to do with Israel.

Iran has been bombing production facilities across a bunch of US allies. It's unclear how quickly those will be rebuilt. Also, the US is probably bombing Iranian production, which means countries like China will be looking for additional sources.

Remember when W declared mission accomplished? That war was so short too.

Would they be happy to see a devastating civil war that gives rise to a successor of ISIS or Taleban? Will they happily accept tens of millions of refugees?

Absolutely nothing good will come from this dumbfuck war. We all will pay the price of it one way or another.

I wonder why Israel should get any support, do you support killing children and bombing schools?

Ukraine, I understand, because it was attacked, but Israel, who was oppressing people for so many years with prisons full with Palestinian kids and teenagers long before Oct 7th, I really don't understand.

Except, for Epstein reasons (blackmail), other than that, there is no reason US should support Israel, in any way

    Israel should get support because supporting Israel right to exist, for me, is the right thing, and because its strategic goals and values align with those of the US.

      1. Does US fight to support only right things?

      2. Is Palestinian right to exist is the right thing as well?

      There is no moral justification for Israel's right to exist. Israel does not have a right to exist. They exist purely as a foreign invasion force originally started by European Jews - who didn't even practice or believe in Judaism - in order to make their own private racist mediterranean resort state by killing the native people and stealing their land.

      What makes you think anyone would want support their existence over the rights of the existing Palestinian people that lived there and are currently fighting to reclaim their homes?

      Religions do not have a right of inheritance. A person can't claim your home when you die because they also happen to be Christian. The only legal inheritance are those with title. And no one from Europe that decided to attack and invade Palestine can show any deed or title to the land they claimed to "own" 2000 years ago when they decided to move to Europe.

      So, no. The state of Israel exists purely as a criminal enterprise of murder and theft. Let's not encourage its continued existence.
