It's Iran. What did everyone expect
We have economic interests there
We shouldn't
Why
We have enough resources at home
Why do we need them
for short term
Right. So it's not justified
There’s nothing wrong with expanding your nation.
our resources at home were meant to be a strategic reserve
Not true
yes true
Read the federalist papers
If it helps the people of your nation there’s nothing wrong with expanding it.
We were supposed to not involve ourselves
Yes Itcilis
It’s been happening for centuries
Dude even back in our Nation's infancy we were going to war to preserve our nation's interests
"To the shores of Tripoli"
Barbary wars in this bitch
If we were not constantly preserving rights of passage in the Arabian gulf, Iran would be choking all economic flow in that region.
100% agreed. All they need is opportunity.
Yes, we could use our own resources, but we would reduce the supply, and supply and demand is no joke, prices of all petroleum based products would skyrocket
Dude
Who
Cares
Like the United States doesn't need to be involved. Ever
Everyday Americans.
our economy would tank so much harder than it did during the recession
Not true
I studied this
absolutely true
I studied this
Only 15% of all economic activity in America is foreign based
And half of that is within Mexico and Canada
So no
I have a degree in business and a minor in Naval warfare
We are a domestic service economy
domestic service economies do not last
We make 0 money from.intellectual property, resource selling, etc
you have to produce wealth
