    How does the US not have any strategic interest in propping up Israel? This is insane. Israel is the biggest strategic ally of the US in the middle east, do you not know anything about the issue? They protect and fund Israel more than anyone in the world.

      Yeah, the US is the only thing keeping Israel in business. They’re useful to keep an eye on Iran, because we don’t like Iran, because…?

      Saudis need our weapons, and Qatar likes the money we spend to keep our increasing number of bases there. But these are purely transactional relationships that we can have with anyone.

      I think Kuwait are still fans of the US.

      Other than that, everyone hates us because we protect Israel, and they hate Israel. Why don’t we just join the club, and pick up an entire region of strategic allies instead of “Israel at all costs”?
