An unsinkable aircraft carrier in the middle east to further the US' imperial ambitions

I asked myself the same thing. Lots of layers to that. A foothold in the middle east is among them. A lot more surprising are the radical Christians that somehow like the radical Jews. Also selling guns, and a few more cultural things too.

I feel like there's something bigger we're missing. Both parties seem willing to gamble on losing the election over support for Israel, even now.
