And I think trump knows that.
It's going to take someone or something big to gain the respect and trust of the world after this.

Even the corruption of the ARVN pales in comparison to the Likud-run IDF. Also, Nguyễn Văn Thiệu didn't act like a chickenshit and leave South Vietnam at the beginning of a war unlike Nuttyahoo who is off in the Mediterranean somewhere. Not to mention that Bibi's son is too much of a chickenshit coward to join the IDF.
