This will only further the endanger traveling anywhere in the world on a US passport where Muslim citizens reside, it only takes a tiny percentage to turn terrorist against those who are aligned with genocidals.

Always thought a 'foreign legion' type setup would benefit here. If people are passionate about certain regions of the world, or courses, they should be able to opt into it. Would create competition across national armed forces, too. Would be interesting to see which theatres would be most attractive to recruits, and which military operations would be off the table through nobody believing in them. Could potentially mitigate the idea of 'signing up to die for corporate interests' if you had agency in what you're potentially fighting for.

Trump thinks American Jews will, or at least can, keep him in power, and that this kind of thing, along with his endless, uncomprehending repetition of a few talking points about Iran, will persuade them to do it. He is probably wrong, but in this timeline, anything could happen.

Does anybody else think it's interesting how many of Jewish stereotypes have a grain of truth? If you know anything about the Israeli lobby in the USA, and you think that the stereotype that "they control the media" doesn't have a grain of truth, I'd like to hear why.
