Oil is an important us interest

Which is precisely why we need to produce as much of it on our own territory as possible.

Israel is not a vital US interest. If Israel disappeared tomorrow, we would scarcely feel it.

Regarding your statement on oil, NONE OF OUR WARS WERE FOR OIL.

Iraq sold their oil to China. Afghanistan is giving China first dibs to develop its mineral extraction. Gulf War 1 didn’t result in Kuwait giving us their oil for free. Saudi Arabia has intentionally manipulated oil prices to hurt our offshore crude development.

NONE of the Muslim oil producing countries gave us their oil at a discount, much less for free, to offset the trillions we wasted trying to save and liberate them.
