Israel is reducing its dependence on US military aid from $3.8 billion annually to zero over the next decade, as Prime Minister Netanyahu announced this plan to regain strategic autonomy. This shift reflects Israel's long-standing position as a sovereign nation that prioritizes its own national interests over foreign directives, challenging the common perception of a 'master-slave' relationship between the two countries. The US has increasingly used military aid as a tool of restraint, forcing Israel to align with American political interests even when they conflict with Israeli strategic objectives, as demonstrated during the Obama and Trump administrations. Israel's decision to wean itself off American support represents a return to the strategic independence it demonstrated during the 1967 and 1973 wars, when it maintained a diverse military portfolio from multiple countries rather than relying solely on American equipment.

STARTING NOW: Israel TO CUT dependence on US military aid down to ZERO!Ajouté :
It's insane how many times I'm correct.
And unfortunately, I think most of you guys would not remember. I think only the most hardcore would have remembered what I have said about Israel and the relationship with United States and how Israel cannot be controlled by the United States easily. And the Israelis is willing to give up United States to do whatever they want to protect their own national interest or to do what they feel like they need to do for their own country's survival. And I have said this a long time ago and people got very uh they they scoff at it because they don't believe they they they feel like Israel and United States is tied at the hips.
But let's listen to Netanyahu said for himself. So, let's play this.
>> Do you believe it's time for the state of Israel to re-examine and possibly reset its financial relationship to the United States, meaning what the United States provides to Israel on an annual basis?
>> Absolutely. You know, I've said this to President Trump. I've said it in to our own people.
Their jaws dropped. But I said, "Look, >> what do you mean? What are you saying? I want to draw down to zero the American financial support, the financial component of the military cooperation that we have because we receive we receive uh $3.8 billion a year. And I uh I think that it's time that we weaned ourselves from the remaining uh military support.
>> Can you give me a timet?
>> I said let's start now and do it over the next decade, over the next 10 years.
But I want to start now. I don't want to wait for the next Congress. I want to start now. Uh and u you know it could go down very fast.
>> Do you So you have it Israel is officially going to slowly over the next 10 years actually it's quickly over the next 10 years win their uh dependence on United States. This is actually um not something unexpected or unprecedented per se or is is is actually written in the stars. However, it it was never a right time uh mainly because of Israel's influence within United States was still very strong up to recent years and uh but the history of is Israel having to know u basically you know put into consideration the politics within United States is actually very very cumbersome for for Israel. they they find themselves uh find their hands keep getting tight and they unable to do a lot of things particularly uh becomes really bad in the past years the past five years uh or even the past 15 years uh up to the Obama era where the Israelis find find themselves having to deal with Barack Obama which is not particularly pro- Israel and then know and it got worse when in he was when Israel was dealing with uh Joe Biden.
United States kept using the the supply of the military uh equipments and ammunition as some sort of a restrain on Israel. It's not like United States is controlling Israel but is restraining Israel's uh freedom of actions. And this applies to Donald Trump as well. In the 12- day war, uh, United States decided to call it the like after they they bombed the nuclear facility um using the B2 bombers, Donald Trump unilaterally forced Israel to end the 12-day war. So, and Israel cannot carry on. they were kind of like stuck geopolitically and they they were dependent on the Americans for more ammunition, more equipments, more spare parts. So that was a problem. This again repeats itself in this current Iran war where Donald Trump in his own geopolitical knowing with the Iranians multiple times have threatened to sign a peace deal or negotiate with Iranians where the Israelis have zero interest in negotiating.
And for a few times, Donald Trump in this Iran war has forced the Israelis to eliminate certain uh targets from their target list particularly oil facilities and um and also other know specific targets which Donald Trump find it you know um not align with what the Americans is planning to do. So I think Israel like they they need more freedom of maneuver uh maneuver maneuverability you see and and this is something that I've mentioned a long time ago a lot of people especially during DP open mind know people were arguing with with me or know they were commenting in the comments saying how it's impossible for Israel to not depend on United States. They everyone says that Israel controls United States or nothing Israel do without United States knowing like all all this sort of know uh master and slave relationship.
Sometimes is Israel is the master sometimes Americans is the masters.
I have said then I will say it now again Israel is a sovereign country. they have their own very strong u positions on uh their foreign policies and they often do things without telling the Americans.
This is this has always been the case.
They are very close allies. Uh they most of the time trust each other but when you come to national interest, Israel has a very different point of view from America. America's national interest is very different and if if you see in this current Iran war Iran has been striking Israel quite a number of times with hypersonic weapons but I'm not sure if you have noticed Donald Trump actually did not say did not talk much about the Israeli cities or bases or whatn not getting hit by these Iranians the because in the Americans point of view from Donald Trump's point of view this Israel is just collateral know he don't care just like he don't really care about the Arab states getting hit you know this is just part of war to the Americans and this is of course know semi unacceptable for Israel and maybe you know certain things that Israel has done Donald Trump took credit for it maybe that is also part of the trigger that Israel find it very distasteful and they they really want to have total freedom in uh in their movement and decision making.
I'm not sure how much the the Israeli can detach themselves from the American uh military or the American military-industrial complex. The Israeli have a very strong military-industrial complex as well. Uh but will they be able to replace everything? I don't think so. I think like fighter jets will be pretty difficult. um bombs, missiles, maybe they can develop their own. They have their own tanks. They they have their own armored vehicles. Um they probably needed needed help also for helicopters perhaps.
So no, but they have their own laser or missile defense poss.
They probably going to invest heavily into drones. So we shall see how this continue to play out. But I just want to say, you know, this is just uh a a a positive development for Israel. Uh because they h they have been hampered a lot like they already did a lot. It's the amount of things that Israel has done is already insane. It it caused so much outrage in Europe, in the region u and yet nobody can stop them.
But even that they there is still no strategically more significant things that they want to do which which the the Americans hold them back. And I think this is this is what the Israel's point of view is that they they need to take get back to that old days where know where where they were in the Yokimo war no the six day war that era of Israel that era of Israel wasn't dependent on the Americans they they have a mix of military equipments from France from Czechoslovakia from um from United days it was a mix.
Today they are overly dependent on the Americans. They not overly but they quite dependent on Americans because most of their stuff is American other than their own stuff. So you know I think they need to go back to those days where they can just decide to go to war with nobody able to stop them. No, even those days um they were they were forced know to give up uh the Swiss canal for the first time where uh that was the the that time was because of a blockade by uh by Egypt and then the Israelis launched an offensive all the way to the Swiss canal and then the Americans forced the the Israeli forces to give it up and they gave up.
Then after that the 6- day war came um which then resulted in the entire C9 peninsula falling to the Israeli.
Those days that Israel is insanely independent.
Today's Israel is not as independent uh in term of freedom of division and strategic uh strategy and movement as those days. Those days those earlier days of Israel is way more independent.
And I think this is the this is a natural I think a natural uh development for Israel. And another thing is that the MAGA movement in United States the internal politics in United States has become uh has basically the Israeli lobby uh has lost control. they have they basically has lost entire control of US politics the influence uh operations or you know the their lobbying is starting to fail because of the MAGA movement because of Donald Trump. So, United States also has become more and more independent and as a result they they under Donald Trump's administration they are able to do insane like no kidnapping Venezuela's president or bombing you know um speedboats in the Caribbean no and forcing Panama to to throw the Chinese out all sort of things. And this sort of America is too powerful for Israel to handle to control and uh the then the the lobbying is not working anymore. the politics the the wave is changing United States uh and also not to mention u the anti-Israel wave is and sentiment within United States is getting too strong and if you Israel continue on to depend so heavily on American arms and ammunition um they there might be a time where where they seriously need ammunition and bombs and spare parts and the president of that a decided not to give just like what Biden has done. Biden has threatened to reheld. He did rehel some for a bit of time uh compromising Israeli militia operations for a little bit. Of course, Israel is not really like know fighting some peer level enemy anyway uh during those days uh in the Gaza war. So, but you see it was a early warning that you know the the path forward for Israel is can no longer be you know packed to American uh how to say uh generosity put it that way. So and also geopolitically under Donald Trump's administration and most likely this will persist onward is the massive uh pivot.
There is a geopolitical revolution by United States uh where they no longer follow the old the old ways. United States created that old world and they have now reshaped it in a new way. The tariff all this is part of this new new global contract with the United States.
So United States have to revamp this entire entire geopolitical order. Uh the rules what is the international law?
What is the rules of the games? Donald Trump and his administration has rewritten the entire thing and forced everybody to follow this new set of rules and everybody was of course know everybody hate changes right nobody like changes nobody like to be like their products exported to United States to make money to be tariff but now everybody literally almost everybody has accepted the tariff nobody complains anymore about the tariff the trade war. Nobody talks about trade war anymore. There's no such thing as trade war being mentioned now. Not even with China. Donald Trump is going to move to China, going to go to China for a meeting right now. I'm not sure if the meeting is going to 100% happen because of the developments in the Iran war, but uh the preparation is already done. So the good chances that Donald Trump will be in China. uh what kind of negotiation will be probably is Donald Trump going to go there and enforce this new world order on China? China is one of the last few countries that has been resisting uh this this change this change of the global order the change of the international order the international rules the game rules because you have to understand countries don't is not human beings no countries do not follow law like international law is is actually you know the word itself is actually deceiving there's no such thing as international law everybody talks about it But no one enforces it. You can't enforce international law unless you are willing to bomb someone. And who is the country that is willing to bomb someone to enforce a certain law is United States. So clearly it's not international law. It's just the rules of the United States. The United States set the rules. Everybody's supposed to follow it. You don't follow the rules.
You don't follow you don't you don't play the game, then United States is going to come and bomb you. And that's exactly what what Iran war is all about.
Iran do not play by the American rules.
So they got sanctioned all the way. They got blocked out of the entire global trading uh and commerce system and now they get they are getting bombed. That's exactly what it is. North Korea have the same problem and then they got they don't want to follow the the game rule because they are communist and they are know and the Americans are capitalist pigs. No. So yeah. So they they got sanctioned to to to hell and uh and have been uh in a bad state for a long long time until China help a little bit and then the Russians came in. The Russians alliance with North Korea is everything.
Russia was actually playing by the rules of this American rules which is aka international law but actually it's not international law is Americans rule and Americans rules does not apply to American know your like your mother and your father's rule for you never applies on themselves you know this only apply on you right so the same thing the rules don't apply to United States and the United States rules uh basically is whatever the Americans want.
Russia's invasion into Ukraine, the annexation of Crimea is against what the Americans want. So Russia got sanctioned and and since and Russia is not a weak country, right? So they decided to double down and try to break out and create their own gang.
And they try to rope uh they they they work with so they rope North Korea into their gang. They try to make it work. Um try to help North Korea. So they have a body there. China is playing half half here, half there, playing all sides. So it's Turkey. So that's that's the game, you know? So so just you just have to understand there's no such thing as international law. No, don't just don't believe that. and Israel have been largely playing by the Americans rules. Uh so but moving forward it is going to get harder and harder to see them following uh play playing by the rules. We shall see how how they going to navigate this in the future. We will see it very very soon. within the next few years, we'll probably able to see uh a massive diversion of Israel u uh decisions away from the Americans.
They have already done a lot of things against the Americans interest. They have also already done a lot of things against Americans preference. So um so this is just a natural progression of things to come. Of course, it's a massive division. uh like I wouldn't have been able to predict when Israel would have ever win themsel out of the Americans uh military uh aid because it's it's such a crazy division. It's such a hard decision to make but Netanyahu has decided to make it. So let's see how that continue to play out.
Uh similarly you know it n what is natural to come doesn't necessarily means that they will do it right. is natural but often things that's natural is very very difficult like if you are fat you should exercise it's a natural thing to do but going to do exercise is very difficult right you know just look at me you know is is is very painful right so so similarly uh which is why this is such a major decision uh such a major major news because they have made the hard decision and just like Russia's invasion into Ukraine it was a massively difficult division and um and for for Iran to know fire everybody that was know fire drones and missiles at everybody that's actually also a very very difficult decision. Uh you have to be forced to uh to to know no choice before you would do it. similar to the Russia's invasion of Ukraine, similar similar to Iran's attack on all the neighboring countries and I would say um similar to Israel's now division to have to cut themselves off the dependence on the United States. But anyway, that's what I think. You can decide how, you know, just take what I say into consideration and, you know, you can make your own decision on what's what.
Um, like I said, this all these things is just national interest. It's just politics. You know, it's a natural thing. Um, don't apply your ideology or your bias into analyzing is you're going to get confused. uh and you're going to get your get surprise uh like this Israeli case as well as I said you know um Israel will rather make their own uh they rather buy Russian and buy Russian military than to get controlled by the Americans or if the Americans cut arms to Israel, Israel would immediately start buying Chinese or buying Russian and uh military equipments.
So don't be surprised by that. And in fact I believe I've read as well is Israel know transferring classified information about the American systems to the Chinese that also happened some behind the scene ha about that as well.
So you know this is u this is just a situation that's happening. So it's just a matter of time and the time is now. Thank you for watching. Happy birthday to you. If your birthday today, press the like button, subscribe. I'll see you guys in the next update. Bye, guys.
