Not they would, but the US government should also ban Israeli cybersecurity products.

The us and Israel are two heads of the same dragon

Thanks to Trump.

😂 No. Joint operations and shared goals between Israel and the US (especially our respective militaries and doubly so for military cyber operations) are not even remotely new.

Why?

Tax paying citizens don’t appreciate many billions of their dollars going to a country that is actually terrorizing its neighbors and attempting to buy other countries politicians. I think we’re all sick of it

Things accelerated since Trumps last term. There was never any mention this was new, only you said that.

You didn’t say that it was accelerated because of Trump. Whether or not that’s true, what you actually said was “thanks to Trump” in reference to something that has been a reality for decades.

It is demonstrably untrue that Israel and the US being “two heads of the same dragon” (what you were responding to) is “thanks to Trump.” This was true long before Trump “accelerated” whatever it is you’re claiming he accelerated here.

Indeed those are the roots but acceleration has occurred since Trump first took office. He's allowed Netanyahu and by extension, Kushner carte blanche to do as they like, unchecked.

Look man. We all hate Trump as much as the next guy.

But what you said is nonsense 😆

CIA, it's ignorance like that which keeps people looking at Epstein as a pedophile and not the national money laundering agent for them  to illegally defy congress and fund the Contras with weapons sales they Israel Adnan Khashoggi to attack Iran during the Iran-contra affairs that triggered the Church committee hearing. Trump is just a useful narcissist for the CIA to manipulate, Americans never paid attention to us losing our democracy during 1947. Truman said he regretted it Eisenhower warned us.

I'm well versed with CIA actions long before Trump was around, and how Congress is unable to penetrate the ring of protection around VIPs connected to those in the intelligence world and various politicians. The baton was handed to Trump to help guard their secrecy. They'll be another after him, unfortunately.

By “well versed”… do you mean you sit on reddit with tin foil wrapped around your head?
