The US is supporting Israel through what we can mostly all agree is a genocide of the Gazans. Clearly, Biden isn’t a genocidal maniac, yet he’s all in with unwavering support. Why are we doing this? There has to be a logical reason that isn’t just “we want Israel to kill everyone in Gaza and take their land a la lebensraum.”
We know this is an emotional topic, so please be respectful of each other so that we can have open and clear authentic discussion on the matter.
The US had no essential friends in the Middle East. So the UK made one for them.
That’s not super true. We’ve been friends with various Middle Eastern countries over the decades, including Iran (especially during the reign of the Shah), Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan. We’ve worked with all of them.
That’s the friend circle your mom tells you not to hang out with
You are no longer friends with Iran.
Saudi Arabia is probably the only one who you guys are still kinda friends with, but I think even they are starting to get tired of you.
You invaded Afghanistan. They now have a government that despises you.
Same with Iraq.
Pakistan is also friends with China, nay, especially with China.
