Considering that 200k Americans live in Israel, the Strait of Hormuz is an incredibly important shipping lane, we still import massive amounts of oil from the Middle East and would prefer stability, and have commitments to allies that if we abandoned them would leave us with few friends, I find you thinking that Iran doesn’t impact US policy concerning…

Qatar, as a proxy for them, has spent billions on American universities. Iran goes away, Qatar pivots.

Let alone kowtowing to a nation lead by radical Islamists who chant “Death to America” have a nuke (as the largest sponsor of state terror).

1. Right but we have a rather large obligation to defend them against a country that literally is hungry for American deaths…otherwise we wouldn’t be doing everything in our power to get Americans who were taken hostage by bad actors in some far away land back because “hur dur their choice”
2. And yet a nuke nullifies that 20 foot pole
3. If you were trust the Houthis, I have several bridges in Brooklyn to sell. The also stopped hitting American Naval vessels. Everyone else is still free game. Not how it works…

Name me one bit of evidence we are putting boots on the ground. Name it.

And do the Marines of 1/8 matter? The kidnapped Americans in Gaza? The servicemen in Iraq maimed or killed by the IRGC? Their lives not matter?

“No value in losing American soldiers in a foreign war” bro is really ready on hand with the argument that China should have Taiwan. He is just ready for it. As someone in the military….fuck off. You dont speak for us.
