While not as much skin, we sadly have more skin in this game as I'd wish

The election of the next President will have a large effect on the security of Europe with respect to both Russia and Israel

[10xDev → was_a_dev]

In what world is Israel relevant to the security of Europe?

This one?

It seems pretty clear to me that Netanyahu is trying to stir up a wider war in the Middle East. If he's successful that will be terrible for the security of all the surrounding regions, Europe included.

IMO it's more likely that Iran is the one trying to stir up a wider war in the middle east.

Honestly, it's more likely that neither of them want war, but their actions make one more likely over time.

The US and UK navies are not in the Mediterranean right now for a pleasure cruise. They're there because of the Israel-Hamas war

[10xDev → switch007]

That didn't answer the question at all.

No answer would satisfy someone playing dumb

Given it is on the border of Europe, geography alone is a sufficient answer.
