And it is not America that is asserting dominance / vanquishing foes. It is the government / elite. How does it help the average citizen? It doesn't

Just like the elite force mass immigration into the US

"Safety/security" is bring unquestioned #1. If there are any rivals, you are not safe. Also we want to be great, not safe. Let the women and children be safe, we have land to conquer

does that make it right? Because might is right?

Quds are bullying Israel is all

*being

Idk

@Chaos and how does it make us great? how are we not safe?

The American Empire doesn't really help the core territory much

what land do you have to conquer?

what is the benefit?

how about your own?

Besides, without a healthy core any Empire will cave in

The American Core is dead

All thats left are the cogs

The cogs should be able to run for awhile

Yes, it is the decision of elitists, not the American people. This does not benefit the American people in anyway

The invaders probably wont be able to maintain the cogs

Stop conflating the two

If we don't have bases everywhere, others will. If you retreat, the enemy advances. Small countries become big countries, big countries become stronger countries, and now you have a "balance of powers" that depends on politicking and words, not brute strength.

imagine other having bases somewhere

the worst thing ever

You can have bases everywhere

And garrison them

But at what gain?

We have bases everywhere, including outside of Iran/Iraq and within missle range. Whats wrong with diplomacy over occupation?

The land is still foreign

You can keep bases for 1000 years and the land will remain foreig

For an Empire to truly expand its core population must spread

the q is *who exactly* are you projecting power *for* ?

No country is going to occupy or seize Iranian land if America leaves, and if they do, America can act if they believe it is in accordance with the interests of the american people

crude at 64

Shawna needs an oasis? let's send the drones

shit and my call options expired on USO

@Smoke smoke it benefits us by creating hard, ruthless men and dominating the world. Instead we sit on our hands and turn into a bunch of liberal faggots like we are now. Rome is cooler than Switzerland

err didnt go through

blackpilling and white pilling
i'm austic and when thought all the ppl i knew from high school in my mind
and where there at today
only 3 of them made it ... in life
even chads and Stacie's did not make it

So it is good to have bases in Iran because it makes men tougher? @Chaos
