If I were dealing with a country that supplied me with more artillery shells than the entire EU combined in my existential war, I would simply shut the fuck up about the matters that I promised that country to shut the fuck up about.

For an East Asia-focused person, it seems completely insane to me that any US ally would command this much attention from not just US govt, but US society writ large, such that if you're to be considered a well-informed person you're supposed to have a position on the ally's internal politics.

During Trump I, S Korea got fucked up by China for deploying THAAD while the US stood pat oblivious. During Trump II, the THAAD got moved to the Middle East for a war that serves less than zero strategic purpose for US. Is it a surprise that more people are asking what the point of the alliance is?

Doubly this. US hegemony depends on the ability to underwrite the security of its allies. Job number one of this underwriting is to avoid insolvency. Israel is a bad debtor who should have been dropped long time ago. Failure to do so is pushing US closer to insolvency.

Wars break out in the periphery. The center may get tense, but rarely break out into a war. The part of the world that is not involved on this war at all is the center of the world right now. In a roundabout way, we are truly entering the Asian century.

There is a distinct American culture, but it is more of a meta-culture. It's the persistent tendency to reduce everything to its most childish essence. "Of course you think that, you're 12" meme strikes at a greater truth. Everything about America is childish, in both good ways and bad.
