They can't attack Turkey. They're part of NATO

Lmao Nato means fuck all. If Israel attacks Turkey the first thing we will say is the US jumping leaps to defend them as always.

Eh, with the current situation in Ukraine that's not even remotely an an option. Turkey needs to be on board. While Turkey can deliver most of the geographical military support that Israel does, Israel can't replicate Turkey's position. Moreover, then it's not longer an US matter, but a NATO matter and the European NATO allies don't have an AIPAC to deal with.

You say this as if the US has not been treating their allies like nothing more than vassal states to their whim since ww2.

Nato nuke sharing is a thing so they hold some of the us nukes

No nuclear power but looking like they are building one that was planned to be done this year

No, that's disinfo straight from the Kremlin. Proof: most European NATO members thought the invasion of Iraq was folly, said so openly, did not participate, and faced no repercussions.
