As the US gradually evolved from an oil net importer to a net exporter, it has pretty much allowed its relationship with Saudi deteriorate. In that sense, it is already meddling a lot less in the Middle East.

Israel is an entirely different ball game though. I know initial support for Israel came from a desire to support a Jewish state, and as time passes, Israel is the US' trump card to counter-balance Russia's influence in the Middle East.

So does that mean if Russia can be made to implode as a result of the Ukraine war, the US might finally be able to stop backing Israel?
