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

<:big_brained:396156349676781569>

hard ruthless men lol

the American Imperial military is like what

1m strong?

does that mean oil is doing good

what about hard and horny?

no evidence of that being the result lol

@Chaos I dont know if you know but homosexuality is rife in the US military

<:coomer:639982442576609311>

The other 150m american males what they gonna do

we've been bombing the shit out of the ME since what? 20 years

clearly the source of strength must not come from the army, but from the core (the army acquires its tougness from the core not the other way around)

has it made any ruthless men?

The core is the people, their society, their culture their genes

@Chaos your argument is essentially, men should be tougher through occupation of hostile land is good. And America should seize land, because if they don't, another country will. Those claims have no basis in reality

This has been destroyed
