IDK, Iraq was pretty messed up.

But yeah, Israel existing is good for US national security because they are like a lightning rod for all the nonsense in the middle east, and they somehow keep things relatively peaceful, more often than not.

That said, neither Biden or Trump have any useful solutions here, and they don't seem to be trying. So I'm not voting for either.
