Hell, I wish our motives were still better transparent. We're giving people bombs to kill civilians with new strategic advantage whatsoever.

Gaza has valuable fossil gas deposits and Mediterranean beach front real estate. That's what the US wants a piece of.

That, the biblical doomsday prophecies, and political pressure/extortion groups like AIPAC.

Very true, but it's still silly. At some point the oil runs out. China gets this and is pushing hard on renewables. And we're being stubborn instead.

It's like our leaders never played a decent civ game.

If our leaders were playing a decent civ game, they wouldn't be leaders. The leaders would be saying to themselves "One more turn and I'll quit".
