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, I wish Israel and Palestine could get along. That's obviously not happening anytime soon though, and the Palestinian people are caught in the middle, and they're using my country's weapons to do it. That sucks.

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.
