Please explain further on this take.
Without Israel the U.S. loses so much intel and a key strategic location in the middle east. It makes it MUCH easier to address regional threats over there.
When people ask why does the U.S. help other countries so much. Democracy...thats why. You want to be forced to speak Chinese or Russian or worse have your country constantly hit with terrorist?
the information sharing is two-way, mossad benefits ENORMOUSLY from american and british intelligence. israel is also one of the biggest perpetrators of spying and exfiltrating sensitive US information
The U.S. already has major military bases in Qatar (Al Udeid), Bahrain (U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet), Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia - the 'geographic location advantage' is completely overstated
i'd argue the fact that the US supports Israel so strongly makes diplomatic relations even WORSE in that area. we should stop supporting genocidal maniacs like Netanyahu full stop
