Nation States exist to protect their people from being slaughtered and raped by outsiders who hate them.

That is their only legitimate purpose. All other nation state functions other than defence can be done better by blockchains or private enterprise.

All nation states exist because they have defeated their enemies. Those that cannot and do not cease to exist and their peoples are often wiped out. That is the reality of human history.

It is why pure libertarianism cannot work.

I'm sorry that harsh reality has so disturbed your utopian libertarian ideals that you chose to believe the baseless and highly offensive rubbish that the IDF's failures on Oct 7 were deliberate (rather than failed strategic and tactical concepts).

Maybe the American government could do this sort of thing to its own people but it is utterly impossible in Israel and for Jews.

Israel is doing what any State that hopes to survive in this Hobbsian world would do - utterly defeat its enemies and eliminate future threats.

And the US's contribution is minor and insignificant. Biden is just grandstanding to claim a win after all the US military debacles.
