In a second Biden term, Israel may well be abandoned as a too speculative burden to the US. The US establishment will make sure that Trump will not succeed. It is generally not understood that Trump’s candidacy is a class struggle.
Nixon is too optimistic. But what is true is that the US military forces have been built up to such a great extent that they have become unwieldy and inefficient when confronted by lesser forces fighting for their existence. It has happened in Vietnam and should have been a warning, but the unfortunate contempt held for ‘third world people’ has made them blind to the obvious. That is where Yemen for example comes in, fortified by the threat of a closing of the straits of Hormuz. And that is where it holds the mighty West at its short and curly.
