Israel, India and Iran: Could Israel Benefit From a Weaker US

Bottom line, yes, Israel is moving on from the United States at some point, probably sooner rather than later, to India.

And so weakening the United States in a war with Iran is not all bad. In fact, it might be good because then there's no rivalry at all in your region.

It's you, the only country with nuclear weapons, and everybody else.

So you can kind of do whatever you want.

You don't have to worry about hostile neighbors.

You can expand the size of your territory, for example.

You can move your borders in all directions.

Who's gonna stop you? No one. So if you game this out for a minute, the things that from an American perspective seem horrifying, like real downsides, holy smokes, we could tank the US economy.

We could wreck the energy sector, at least temporarily.

Some of our key Arab allies could be disabled by this.

Those all seem very bad from an American perspective.

Are they so bad from an Israeli perspective?

No, they're not, actually. They may be the point long term
