Israel is our 51st and most important state.
/s
Israel played their card when they lost the Yom Kippur war and they played it well enough that politicians won't even talk about it. It's called the Samson option and they already exercised it against Nixon. He should have let them launch their 13 nukes or whatever back then because now they have enough to destroy the world.
They threatened to Nuke Europe unless Nixon bought them a whole new Air Force and replaced all their military losses, preventing them from being destroyed after losing the Yom Kippur war. That strategy has never changed since it worked that time.
