I think what the US gets in return is on the ground intelligence about the region plus a general purpose moral excuse to go to war: “They were going to destroy our ally Israel.”

But these are only valuable if you have a forever-war mentality and a tremendous need for Middle East oil. The US is way past the point where it can and should shed both.

Sounds like the US are going to need a lot of refugees if they want to deport all their slave labour.
