Do not forget that world leaders are heads of sovereign states that are in charge of their self defense. Those that actually have to defend themselves, like the US, rather than relying on strong allies, need to make public statements that are not hypocritical about what they would do for self defense. This is why both U.S. administrations support Israel's actions


Pretty sure that's not why US administrations support Israel's actions.


Bad phrasing on my part. That is one of many reasons


  need to make public statements that are not hypocritical
wow, you hold a very high opinion of american politics. you must have been reading new from paper news paper for the last 30 years


> Those that actually have to defend themselves, like the US, rather than relying on strong allies

Sure, but are we going to ignore about the US having to rely on its "helpless" allies to provide staging points and cannon fodder for its illegal imperialistic wars? How much of a superpower would it be without its overseas bases?


Sure, the need to self defense against US dangerous neighbors. Looking at you, Canada!


Have you been living under a rock? The time when "public statements" used to work is long, long gone.
