That's misguided

A war on Iran/Syria would not benefit the US

Not through direct control we use puppet states

The Middle East is a powder keg and if you haven't realised the region is wholly cursed and will be America's grave, you're stupid.

No direct action

So how do you make that happen with Iran exactly?

I want to focus on defending my nation from an invasion. I don't care about the Middle East

Look to us coups in the Cold War that is what I am thinking of

Come on.

Why do we want coups

Regime change does not work buddy

Those cold war coups MASSIVELY contributed to why America has a drug problem.

Put pro us rulers in place (not democracies )

Libya

Reagan funded drug cartels against the communists.

If that was really plausible then it would've happened a long, long time ago.

It's because of this political meddling that America's position in the world has eroded.

We stopped and removed a lot of them after the Cold War ended

Dude

No it’s because we tried to be moral

I mean Iran's not gonna fall without military intervention

Latin America is fucked because of the USA chiefly.

We did regime change in Iraq

It isn't working

The last word I'd use to describe the US government is "moral"

So we let Israel do it and give them intel

It is bs Intel buddy

Or Israel gives us intel and makes us do it

Like they have for a long time

Being Israel's golem will always lead to war.

We should never get involved in foregin affairs like regime change

Saudi Arabia will soon collapse to its huge Shia minority and its more extreme Sunni clerics BECAUSE of its ties with Israel.

When you destabilise an entire region of the world, you feed its extremists.

What I’m saying is we tried to remove the dictators we backed in the Cold War because we wanted to appear moral

No

We did that

Which is why Chechenya, formerly Sufi, is now a wahhabist pit.

It hasn't worked

If done right it can

Iraq and Libya are worse off now

Nothing good can happen from interventions
