There is nothing irrational. I did say the the agreement should stay in place.
And if it came the point that shipping routes to Israel needed protection, the US must keep the routes open.
Today, that is not an issue.
My entire point revolves around the “agreement” that is not being renewed. It has nothing to do with “peacetime” guarantees. It has everything to do with guarantees during times of need and crisis when Israel has no other significant means of procuring Oil.
This has nothing to do with circumstances as they stand today. This has nothing to do with shipping routes that need protection. This has everything to do with the U.S. committing to supplying Israel with Oil in the event is becomes next to impossible to procure Oil through “normal” means.
Keeping the “routes” open is beside the point of this agreement. Supplying Israel with a vital volatile when it is not obtainable, due to “abnormal” circumstances, has everything to do with this agreement, and Israel can no longer depend upon the U.S. to supply them with Oil when Israel has no other method of obtaining this vital resource.
That is the issue, and “today” is not the point.
