Israel can have it
I don’t give a fuck about the Middle East
we still get our ally
Fair deal then
@Snake Japan was culturally shut-off from the entire globe for hundreds of years before colonialism. Iraq being in the stone-age is essentially the same.
Besides, the middle east was beginning to modernize on its own before the Soviet campaigns of the 80s
the lands still improve
Fuck the middle east
we dont have to do anything but sell hardware
Maybe then we can stop funding 🇮🇱 because they will be self-sufficient
The potential is definitely there in the middle east
@Spooky Melon deadass we have a compromise

@ArmouredHeart you're a fool if you think our funding of Israel is motivated by economic necessity
**Sandlands will become a jewish 🅱ethnostate**
I should have included

Also someone said how shitty the us government is at money management and yes I agree
That would be me
We need to purge the bureaucracies
Yeah that’s right
An america-anchored middle east will be an important bulwark against chinese economic aggression in Africa in the next few decades too
Decentralize government authority and tax spending, return power to the states.
But I don’t understand why you care about the Chinese anyway, militarily they’re hard as hell to fight. But economically we can crush them
(all bureaucracies are shit at it tbh, but you need them to handle the money in the first place, so all i can wager is "make the bureaucracies better via regulation and purging and shit")
@Snake any war with the chinese would be primarily economic before it were military, I think. I think we're headed for a trade Cold War with them.
open war won't happen with china unless somebody majorly fucks up anyway. and nobody wants it either
@UnfilteredGarbage yeah you’re correct, and we’re bleeding them out
@ArmouredHeart this is also why China's economic expansion needs to be rebutted
They're fueling absolutely destructive industrial policies in nations that are not socially developed enough to be responsible
I think China will collapse in on its self, it has a massive banking and housing bubble
Some espionage to make it pop is what we need
(so do we lmao)
The chinese are basically every sci-fi bug race, they just consume everything in a region and move on when everything's dead
@UnfilteredGarbage so thats why they love starcraft
While there's certainly valid criticism of american industrial expansion, it pales in comparison to the degree that China destroys ecosystems and natural resources
Both due to policy difference and the sheer size of the chinese population
@UnfilteredGarbage isn't the only thing fished in the china sea jellyfish?
Also 🇨🇳 = Gimped Tyranids
Racism? Now I can finally agree...
