Our planes can take off from Israel equipped with nuclear weapons. It’s of tremendous strategic importance. The new base being built in Israel is massive, as well!
That’s not actually true. The reason there’s been such a big push by conservative states to support Israel is specifically because support waned after the Cold War.
And the people actually in charge of defense trust Israel so much we have a, (checks notes), small outpost there. We have 13,000 troops in Kuwait alone. 9,000 in Bahrain, 8,000 in Qatar. Kuwait and Qatar both host giant military bases that our actual allies operate out of as well.
Don’t tell me what was going on in 1985. Tell me what’s going on now.
that isn’t an opinion shared by the US Government.

That was during the Cold War. You know, 40 odd years ago?
That’s not a reason to go all in on Israel now.
we have done nothing but increase support to Israel and our presence in the country since that time why do you think it’s changed?
