The Biden administration is close to approving the sale of as many as 50 American-made F-15 fighter jets to Israel, in a deal expected to be worth more than $18 billion, according to three people familiar with the matter.
Unlike the precision guided munitions, the new F-15s would need to be built from scratch. A US official said there are no plans to expedite delivery of the jets to Israel so, if approved, they would not be delivered to Israel for at least five years.
Is that enough time to vote in some Dems who will stop it?
The two major national parties are rushing rightward no matter what you do. Best I’ve come up with is moving to a state where the controlling party is as left as possible.
The only way out is through. Best case scenario I believe we can expect is patchwork fascism across the country, so choose your enclave wisely. After things really collapse, and after the fighting is settled, we can do our best to set things right. But as long as we are going to be shackled to the whims of previous generations going back to the 18th century, actual progress is a dream.
The foxes have run the henhouse since the late 70s, and they’re not about to give it up.

Why would Dems stop it?
Sadly, the 5 dems I would have voted for are all hanging back and letting the rest of the Dems shut them out.
Time to make another run at ending the 2 party system.
It will hurt, but when you let it stay 51/49, everything rapidly goes right.
Also, I would imagine the military contractors have already pocketed the 18 billion that was moved from public trust to Israel to the contractor.
If the deal were cancelled, that’s another 18 billion out of the public trust refunded to Israel to buy something else from the military contractors.
