The real issue is the Petro-Dollar. Since Nixon took the US off the gold standard, our fiat currency is backed by our military keeping the vast majority of the world trading oil in dollars.

The less we can control that banking, the less control we have over our currency. Thus having Israel right in the middle of "oil central" is a way for the US to keep that part of the world in turmoil, and thus easier to control.

The percentage of countries that trade oil in dollars has been slowly dropping over the last decade. Our reckless behavior in the Middle East for the last 30 years and now our full-throated support for Israel's genocide is going to accelerate the rate of decline.

We're in for some interesting years ahead.
