why you need bases on scale there?

to land planes

a little star is not the same as a friendly nation with infrastructure

but how US having war in middle east benefit US?

so you would give up all presence

and just hide from the issue

paying over 2.5trilion dollars for afhanistan war alone

who cares

im asking if you think that the US should just ignore the middle east

it seems you are saying yes

why topple goverments if doesnt benefit US?

you don't think our moves in the middle east benefit the US?

not really.
at least for the cost you are paying for all that.

it benefits isreal for sure.

it also make the US not have terrorist attacks on the scale of 9-11 for a very long time

you would give that up

for your hate for Israel

that doesnt even make any sense

you are saying pull all money from Israel, and defund operation in the middle east

isn't that your point?

US is paying trilions of dollars for all that.

so what?

and what they get back from it?
nothing.

you think that peace comes at no cost?

you think american presence is helping afghanistan for example?

2.5trilion. over 20 year. and no results at all

and why you think US is there because some moral duty to keep peace?

because nobody else can

for Afghanistan I've no strong feelings about it.

and Yes I think the US has the moral duty to protect the world

if moral duty is reason, why america is doing nothing in africa?

so you think america is spending trilions of dollars just to feel good about them selfs and "keep peace" by bombig midde east.

US sends a lot of aid to Africa

lets take syria for example.
why is US in there?
they are funding and arming rebels. and figting goverment.

That is bombing their civilians with chlorine gas

if they want peace shouldnt they help goverment?

and using Russian bombers to fight rebels

why would syria bomb their own citizens?

to get the rebels

"gas attacks" are fake.
the reson for those "gas attacks" is to disarm syrians cemical weapons.
those cemical weapons were syrias deterrence against isreal.
