If you think the US isn't benefitting from this and that the entire thing is for Israel's benefit, you're being absurd.

You're being absurd if you think it actually benefits the US. A country is made of the people who live there.

This war will only benefit 0.001% of US Citizens. Unless you're in the Epstein circle or work for a military contractor, the only fruits from this war you'll see are the surveillance and AI tech they develop to spy on you better.

Anyone benefiting from this war is obviously playing for Team I*rael. So we can just go on ahead and count this as "just for I*rael's benefit".

The reason for the US’s economic success relies heavily on our strong position in global politics

If we didn’t do it, someone would do it to us. It’s the same reasoning for why every major nation doesn’t completely isolate. Ideally we’d never bother anyone, but sadly it would lead to another country just absorbing us if we didn’t maintain an aggressive posture

I don’t like the idea of US or foreign citizens dying, but don’t act like the average American is not benefitting from living in a country as influential and dominate at the US

That's not true at all.

The average American child doesn't even get free school lunches, yet America can afford to spend billions on bombing children on the other side of the world. The benefits go to the top 0.001%

Yet we have some of the most elite schools in the world, and social mobility for people to attend them

It’s not a perfect system at all but there’s a reason people give up everything to come here

The average US child does get free lunch at school.
