58. Friendly Country From Which To Stage Operations If TSHTF
And, as you note, a counter to other states in the region.

I agree that Israel is a natural ally of the US. But during the 80's, after the fall of Iran, up until the first Gulf War, it took on even more importance.

The question is, would we even be in the Middle East if there was no oil there? And if we did not have interests in the Middle East, would we be heavily arming a proxy state? I doubt it.
