Well, the Suez Canal first, oil second.

The US has been in the Middle East for entirely one purpose. The Suez Canal.

Hard to claim this is true when the US had the chance to side with the UK, France, and Israel to take the canal, but instead betrayed them to side with Egypt and the USSR. Clearly US policy at the time was NOT focused on the Canal, it was focused single-mindedly on decolonialization.

It’s the reason we send billions of dollars a year to Egypt. It’s the reason we have been militarily stockpiling Israel.

I don't agree. We pay Egypt to play nice with Israel. We pay Israel because the jews in the US lobby us to do so and it's an easy pander for Congress to the jew vote.

Why do you think Somali pirates were even a blip on the radar

because of media attention, as always.

compared the all the hijackings worldwide especially in se Asia.

There really aren't that many.

on May 14, 1948, the United States, under Truman, became the first country to extend any form of recognition. This happened within hours of the Jewish People's Council gathering at the Tel Aviv Museum and David Ben-Gurion declaring "the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz Israel, to be known as the State of Israel".

Following UN mediation by American Ralph Bunche, the 1949 Armistice Agreements ended the 1948 Arab Israeli War. Related to enforcement of the armistice, the United States signed the Tripartite Declaration of 1950 with Britain and France. In it, they pledged to take action within and outside the United Nations to prevent violations of the frontiers or armistice lines;

The US basically guaranteed Israel from the beginning, but in terms of the modern "all in for Israel" policy, that wasn't until the early 1960s, so you can change my decades to 60 instead of 70 years if you count it from then. In the 50s Germany and France were giving Israel a lot of stuff, so the US wasn't as necessary.

But yeah in the 50s the US was stupidly hell bent on de-colonialism and that led the the idiotic decision to side with the USSR and Egypt in the Suez Crisis.

shhuuuusshhh do not destroy the national socialist narrative!
