Just because it’s not forbidden to post US politics somewhere does not mean you have to flood the place with it.

  • The region is still very important from a geopolitical standpoint. As last months oil prices have shown.

    Israel don’t have (m)any friends in the region. They are a reasonably stable democracy. This makes them a dependable ally. What would happen if there was a revolution in Saudi Arabia for example? Probably something similar to Iran 1979.

    So having Israel as an ally is a huge multiplier in power projection in the region.

    Why do you need to project power when it’s so expensive? It’s sort of what superpowers do. Meddle in the affairs of smaller countries to further their own goals. If not the US then Russia or China.
