    It absolutely is a strawman, no one mentioned Israel in the discussion before you, it is also not a reason to stop increasing defense spending right now that we need to defend against Russia.

      The fact that nobody mentioned Israel is the point. I stg. It isn’t a “strawman” to point out possible unintended consequences of supporting a policy.

      “I think I should jump off a tall building.”

      “Are you crazy? You’ll die!”

      “Wow, what a strawman. Nobody even said anything about dying. I don’t support falling to my death, only the jumping.”
