AMB Chas Freeman : Is Israel’s Military Collapsing?

Trump's behavior is erratic and amateurish, making diplomatic achievements impossible without military intervention. Gulf Arab countries are negotiating a post-American security architecture with Iran because the U.S. is no longer seen as a worthy ally.

The U.S. Navy cannot support an indefinite blockade and has depleted its Pacific assets, compromising Taiwan's defense.

The IDF cannot defend its occupied territories without U.S. support, which it recently secured via Jared Kushner's unauthorized negotiations. The U.S. is complicit in the killing of Palestinians, damaging its global reputation and moral standing.

Israel is experiencing a net loss of educated citizens who lack confidence in the state's survival, which weakens its military and technological base.

IDF military intelligence correctly warned against the war with Iran, but Netanyahu rejected their advice, leading to a disastrous outcome. The war with Iran is a debacle caused entirely by the strategic failures of Netanyahu and Trump.

Jared Kushner has no credibility as a U.S. envoy and his negotiations with Israel are merely collusion that extends policies against American interests.

Key members of the Israeli cabinet openly advocate for the depopulation of Gaza, annexation of southern Lebanon, and removal of Arabs from the West Bank. Israel will never voluntarily leave Gaza, the West Bank, southern Lebanon, or captured Syrian territory.

The IDF commander fears the military may collapse under current strain, though the push for U.S.-Israel amalgamation is driven by political concerns, not military weakness. Israel is pushing for closer intelligence and military ties with the U.S. to siphon off American strength and evade Congressional oversight.

Tony Blair is a paid agent of Zionism who facilitates Israeli interests, similar to how Trump pursues personal wealth and immunity.
