Try harder.

China is much more of a threat and we should stop fighting constant wars to keep other nations down

and the US did offer help with Falclands

but Thatcher refused for that reason

If thousands of people died and a carrier was lost

THEN

They would help.

Yes.

@Nathan James 123 is right

I don’t give a fuck if America caused the problems in the Middle East, AMERICA CANT FIX THOSE PROBLEMS

but also Monroe Doctrine was still in effect then

True

It’s not our concern, stop trying to justify constant military action in the Middle East

Okay so say we created these problems
I say, have fun!

@Snake I think we're setting up problems in the ME for China to inherit

For Russia to inherit.

The problems usually date all the way back to the Ottoman empire.

it's not fair to blame the US

Problems it will happily fix through genocide.

not all of them

@Nathan James 123 China will need the Oil more than we do

True, but Russia is in a position to expand its sphere into there

@Nathan James 123

This is not about "a shining light of goodness". I'm debunking the silly assertion you made that these "allies" are in any way useful.

As they're currently doing

Russia will beat them to the ME.

@Jym Allies are useful

@Jym UK bases in the Middle East, Indian Ocean?

how are we supposed to counter China w/o friends

UK intelligence sharing?

Russia mostly doesn't want to loose their port in Syria

Five Eyes

UK military cooperation..

which is fair enough

French Military Cooperation

see Mali

or Syria

The Germans are running the NATO operation in Afghanistan right now

the US needs its allies @Jym

I know their annoying

and I know they don't pay NEARLY enough

RAF Akrotiri is of MASSIVE strategic importance
