The death of 3 U.S. service members is forcing President Joe Biden to weigh military action that could carry risks of escalation and heavy political consequences.
We don’t need their oil anymore. Pull our troops out of Iraq, let them deal with whatever fucked up form of extremism pops up. Israel can defend itself just sell them the weapons to do so. Iran and Saudi can go at it, we can just sell more weapons.
Trade in the Red Sea is more important to China and Europe let them deal with securing their own trade routes.
You are very naive to assume that 1) this chaos would remain contained in the Middle East 2) that America could decouple itself from the Middle East even as oil runs out (which isn’t happening just yet) and 3) that nobody else would move into the power vacuum. We have seen the chaos that comes when there is nobody at the helm in America (during the Trump presidency), including in the Middle East. Isolationism doesn’t work and the sole remaining superpower can not afford to be this foolish.
Fuck the Mid East let it burn.

What are we protecting that is on our interest? It just sounds like we are subsidizing their peace.
Pretty grotesque thought. Let the region fall into chaos and profit from it with weapons sales. Maybe they shouod try that where you live first.
I’m sure they would if they could. But hey we don’t need to intervene to keep the peace.
