I don't see why we should care if the Middle East wants to create a Pan-Arab Socialist Empire. I don't like socialism but if they do that's their business.

It's the nature of Leftism. Because it's parasitical, it can only survive through expansion, not development. This means that you either rebuff it, or are conquered by it. You can never live alongside it. If you attempt to simply distance yourself, you will discover that they need to conquer you to survive or the power-bubble bursts. This means that even a strategy of containment is death to Leftism. A Pan-Arab Socialist Empire is even more dangerous than an Ottoman one.

Also, we did need cheaper oil, and fuck OPEC.

And you know who was one of the first countries to congratulate Biden on his "win"? Israel.

So was the UK. So was Canada. It's not too unlikely for a country to do that when it appears that the press in that country are declaring a winner. But, don't that the Israelis are still fighting the same internationalism that everybody is. I doubt anyone here has strong feelings of support for Benjamin Netanyahu, but he was basically narrowly deposed by a Leftist coalition, led by a party that Wikipedia refers to with: "seeks to represent what it considers the center of Israeli society: the secular middle class." Along with holding ideologies such as: "Liberalism, Secularism, Anti-clericalism, Liberal Zionism, Third Way" which screams "Neo-Liberalism". The fact that they are one of the single most vaccinated countries in the world also makes me thing that these guys are WEF puppets.
