"That is all very real, but I'll repeat, I think that the location is a cornerstone in this."

Yeah, I touched on this very briefly, but Israel's location is politically important because it gives the U.S. an eye in the Middle East. Obviously that wasn't the original intention, but it's the intention now. Biden ws surprisingly candid about this back in 1986 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86Nrv5izaTs).

Israel's location, surrounded by Muslim countries, is obviously insane. But millions of people live there now. There has to be a serious, pragmatic effort to deal with the mess that exists. Either that or get working on a time machine.

Seventy five years in, hundreds of nuclear warheads, Israel isn’t going anywhere, and they are going to continue to expand.

America's friends provide some benefit to America. We are not purely altruistic.
