We are actually kinda involved, as a US protectorate (Prove me wrong pollies, prove me wrong! defy your masters. Ask the Kurds how always allying with the US works out) we tend to support their interests in the middle east, also we ship Israel weapons except we claim we don’t because apparently if I give you a trigger, a barrel, and a receiver and you have the rest I haven’t technically given you a weapon under international law 🙄. I think Australia has helped them repair some of the planes they’re using to murder children.

But I do broadly agree with your analysis. I think the issue isn’t as simple as “loyalty pledge evil! mean evil labor” but also like what it’s being used for here is absolutely horrible and could most charitably be interpreted as a system backfiring and least charitably ghoulish power brokers squashing the soul out of a decent person to back warhawks.
