"Section 224 would require the US defence secretary to appoint an “executive agent”: a single official to coordinate military cooperation between the US and Israel."
I could see the next congress in November still keeping these provisions if we don't get enough progressives elected. The neoliberals love shit like this too. They'll drag their feet on reversing it, if they reverse it at all.
I don’t think this is as a big a deal as it’s being made out to be. It seems to be mostly about research and development. Plus it has a ways to go before it can get passed. Putting everything under the control of only one easily bribed motherfucker is a really bad idea though…

Biden spent decades telling anyone that would listen that he believed the only way to deal with Israel was to give them everything they asked for...
When I ama didn't do that, he spoke out as VP against his own president.
Kamala not only refused to respond in kind, she went out of her way to explicitly say if elected she'd be the same as Biden.
This is one of a very few areas where it would have happened regardless of who was president.
And that's a huge problem we can't ignore.

Of course having a single individual coordinating thing cuts both ways. That person could also block things.

I'm certain the system would not incentivise that behaviour. I say scrap the whole MIC and figure some other shit out.

Truly, genuinely, NO COUNTRY IN HISTORY is or ever has been as cucked as the US is to Israel.

Does Israel even want this? Their modus operandi is shifting more and more to hiding stuff from the US.

This would mean they wouldn't have to hide stuff. They'd ask them to do it for them.
