The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I guess I felt that Israel wouldn't mind Iran being a real country---or at least sort of a real country that isn't lobbing bombs. Think Egypt. Think Turkey.

El-Sisi overthrew an elected government that the US didn't like, and is kept in line with lots and lots of USian money, $1.3-1.4B/year, according to the net sifter.

Turkey is next on the Israeli hit list.

Israeli politicians drum up Türkiye threat as focus shifts beyond Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reinforced this narrative Sunday, announcing plans to build a new “hexagon” of alliances aimed at countering what he called an “emerging ... Sunni axis.”

Speaking as he confirmed an upcoming visit by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Netanyahu said the proposed bloc would include countries such as Greece and the Greek Cypriot administration, both of which have strained relations with Türkiye.

If the Israelis and US installed a Quisling, like "Prince Reza" in Iran, he would be overthrown eventually. Iran would be a rich and advanced country, twice enraged by Israel, and the US, subjecting them to brutal, repressive, dictators. Better, from Israel's perspective, for Iran to be a perpetual failed state, torn by internal strife.
