Honestly Israel is far from America's attack dog. They consistently open their market to us, and frequently disregard American state policies. In terms of aggression, they're not in the vanguard.

Israel is more east Germany, a "model" colony meant to showcase American occupation, which also sits precariously enough that they can get squeezed by US' rivals to threaten them. Obviously the actual east German regime was far more humane and didn't practice genocide, but their role in their respective superpower order is similar. Also, they both often consider themselves "above" the population in the core territories, because of the increased privileges afforded to them, while at the same time trading more openly with the empire's rivals.

NK is not that aggressive, they mostly do their own thing and restrict themselves to Asia. Imo Russia is more like China's attack dog, and US doesn't really have an equivalent, since there's no major countries that voluntarily want to be extra aggressive for the US cause. Maybe Ukraine, but they were all but forced to do so due to Russia.
US is Israel's model colony. US is to show case you can still act like you own everything despite colonized by Jewish capital.

This is a great video clip in that it can explain a lot of things Chinese at various stages in the last 50 years.

Automobile business is the latest straw in the camel's back. From this point on, if one calls Japan a high-tech power house, then China is a deep-tech super power. This is one of the greatest transformation or trading places my generation has been witnessing in the last 50 years. Everything else on earth appears insignificant or trivial in front of this transformation, for it does not have precedence in human history in terms of velocity and scale.

On the other hand, this family still owns 3 Toyota cars for the moment. This arrangement is not going to change until Chinese EV are allowed to sell in US.

Wow. The Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin:
In this kind of a fight the center of gravity is the civilian population. And if you drive them into the arms of the enemy you replace a tactical victory with a strategic defeat.

The US is so opposed to China's BRI, because they think only they have the rights to deal with the Global South.

"I'm not trying to do better. I will just kneecap her!" So said Tonya Harding.
