The domestic unpopularity is most likely the stopping point really. If the US were to ignore a lot of laws and treaties, we could turn Iran into 90 million starving people, then walk away and offer food for drone locations.
The world doesn’t really have the time or stomach for that kind of campaign, both here and abroad. People are going to be starving this winter as it is, just because of the delays that have already happened. All we’re doing now is debating how many.
Tbh I disagree. Domestic unrest won’t come from the immense horror of starving millions of people into submission. We’ve been doing that for decades and it has never been a significant issue. It will come from the frustration of feeling the detoriation of our quality of life while we all watch hundreds of billions be spent on a war that doesn’t benefit the public at all.
I wish I thought Americans would act out of moral concern but palestine alone has shown this to be untrue.

World citizens don’t bat an eyelash at US/Israel starving Palestinians, Cubans, Free Korea, Somalia, or anywhere else they please.
