Hopefully, as this topic progresses, we can gain a better understanding of why we should "worry about Israel". Here's a hint: those countries who hate Israel, also hate the United States. Remember the chants of "Death to America"? They mean it.
As for "no covenant with the US", Ohio is right, as stated in the Abrahamic covenant: "blessing on those who bless Israel." Part of the Abrahamic covenant v.3
"and in the all families of the earth be blessed". That's us. That's the Gentiles. So, incorporating by reference, the US is indeed included in the Abrahamic covenant because of God's people, the Gentiles, who live here.
Genesis 12:1 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
