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
