What benefits do you see? I live in the US and I don’t feel very…benefitted.
The benefit isn’t for you personally. It’s strategic: keeping Iran and Gulf states divided. If they united, they’d be a bigger threat to the US and Israel, and wouldn’t need US protection. The US would lose its presence in the Middle East. So division keeps Gulf states dependent on the US against Iran. That’s the benefit.
It really looks to me like the US has now empirically proved its paper tiger status. Before the Iran special military operation started the world was at least pretending to fear the US military, but now I don’t even have that theoretical protection lol.
Anyways I’m off to pay my taxes that fund the bombing of children’s schools. Because little girls on the other side of the world are apparently a huge threat to my safety.

Russia is also a paper tiger, but as you see, Russia can continue to fight and will probably be able to continue to fight at least 1 year more.
AIPAC lobby is so strong that politicians don’t care about their own people like you.
I can recommend “The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy” book written by John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt
