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.
