    That’s why it’s always bullshit that we “need” a close ally there.

    We dont. Especially when that “ally” just constantly instigates conflict then drags us into it to back them up.

    If we weren’t propping up Israel and going after oil, most people in the Middle East wouldn’t give two shits about the West.

    And without the instability it all causes, there’d be less far right religious extremists running shit. And everyone’s lives would be better off
