America is Israel's Queen piece. They use us as their most powerful and versatile piece on their board. Hamas wiped out Israel's pawns and their knights on 10/7. In return, Israel used their bishops and rooks to wipe out all, not some, but all of Hamas's pawns (civilians). Machado is valuable enough to make up for the knights that they lost. They used America, their queen piece, to get her. Israel is back to almost all their important pieces to take on Iran. Machado will be able to block or corner China and Russia by ceasing oil exports and disabling central intelligence. Israel now has their pieces ready, and a clear path. to checkmate Iran.
