A great war has broken out. The never-ending
\nIsraeli–Palestinian conflict gained momentum on Oct. 7 with Palestine’s Islamic
\nResistance Movement’s “surprise” attack on the settlements under Israeli
\ncontrol. <\/p>\n
Against this backdrop, many regional and non-regional actors
\nwere quick to condemn or support one of the sides. However, the U.S. reaction
\nwas rather impressive.
<\/p><\/p>\n
In a conversation with Benjamin Netanyahu, U.S. President
\nJoe Biden said that Washington was ready to provide Israel with the necessary
\nmilitary assistance. U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stated that they
\nwere sending USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier, a missile cruiser and four
\nmissile destroyers to the region.
<\/p><\/p>\n
U.S. assistance to Israel does not end here. It will be
\ncontinuous and will not stop even if the war ends. This is what U.S.
\nhigh-ranking officials keep announcing.
<\/p><\/p>\n
It has been three days since the above-mentioned events
\nstarted to pose some challenging questions for the “experienced” officials of a
\nsmall but a “proud” country located far from the coasts of Gaza. And these
\nofficials are trying to find solutions to these questions in Paris, Brussels
\nand even in Granada. <\/p>\n
The questions are as follows: <\/p>\n
Did Israel apply to the U.S. in writing or verbally?
<\/p><\/p>\n
Did the U.S. Senate hold an emergency session?
<\/p><\/p>\n
Was a monitoring group set up?
<\/p><\/p>\n
Were delimitation and demarcation activities
\nconducted?
<\/p><\/p>\n
What is the speed of the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft
\ncarrier?
<\/p><\/p>\n
It is not difficult to predict the “proud diplomats’”
\nconclusion regarding these issues. “We have a bad ally, they have a good
\none,” they will say. There is no escaping the fact that their ally is really a
\ngood one: beautiful and stylish. However, if we think hard, we will realize
\nthat ours is no less attractive, especially when it comes to Kazakhs or
\nBelarusians.
<\/p><\/p>\n
Perhaps the chemistry between them is unique, which our
\n“mountain people’s masculine spirit” is not able to understand. We are not into
\nsentimental things. Who cares about love? Let us not forget about our time-honored
\nbashikyartma (an old tradition of children’s pre-engagement by their parents at
\na young age): after all, our union was formed back in 1997.
<\/p><\/p>\n
“It’s the 21st century, people,” our ally says and adds that
\nit really wants to restore relations but already with a state of another
\nquality: a state that will be interesting, will move with the times, will be
\nmature and will not blame others for its own mistakes. It is also important
\nthat it does not appear in old brothels in search of new emotions — or at least
\nthat he does not attend the parties. In the end, they want a state for which it
\nwill be worth waging a war.
<\/p><\/p>\n
However, there is a silver lining to this: states like ours
\ndo not choose their allies. And this is great, as we usually do not follow our
\nmind, but our…
