Pobracito = poor, poor baby, poor little:
Trump treated Russia better and gave the Penguins on McDonald Island a break.
Israel is now lumped together with strategic competitors like China and Vietnam. For decades, Israel has served as a vital ally to the US – sharing intelligence, advancing joint defense systems, contributing critical technologies in cybersecurity, health care, and artificial intelligence. It is one of the few countries to fully align its trade, diplomatic, and military policies with Washington’s strategic interests. To now treat it in the same category as authoritarian powers engaged in open technological and economic rivalry with the US is not only economically incoherent, it is diplomatically self-defeating. It sends a dangerous message: that loyalty, alignment, and democratic values are no longer meaningful under US economic policy.
Netanyahu, more than any other world leader, had staked his economic strategy and political identity on his close alignment with Trump. He has mirrored Trump’s populism, embraced his disdain for liberal institutions, and positioned himself as a loyal ally in a world defined by personality over policy. He believed that ideological and personal loyalty would buy Israel strategic insulation. He was wrong.
