If you don’t understand why we are in the Middle East, please don’t comment on policy. Thank you.

We are in the Middle East because we like the "white" sand.

It's a tough thing to really think about.

On one hand - WTF do we care about Syria?

On the other hand, Russia and Iran can leverage Syria to really reshape the entire Middle East. And we're allies (stupidly) with Saudi Arabia and (logically) with Israel.

Culturally, the US and the Middle East will never mix. That's part of the problem here. Russia doesn't give a shit if every Syrian kills each other, as long as they can get access to their oil and keep control over their oil pipelines.

I dont want anything to do with that mess over there. We shouldn't be part of the UN. The US should disband from the UN and move their HQ over to London or wherever. The US should be more interested in creating alliances and stronger bonds with Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, etc.

They didn't turn Constantinople into Istanbul and turn the Hagia Sophia into a mosque because of Israel or their hatred of the west, especially since the west didn't even exist then.

Whether or not we should be involved in the middle east is a legitimate argument to have, but it has little to do with Islam's penchant for conquest and terrorism. Pulling out unilaterally will do nothing to change that, as their entire history has proven.

Great post.

However, I would say that "pulling out"...TRULY pulling out...would force the rest of Europe to deal with that shit on their own.

I totally agree about pulling out of the UN. If ever there was a President to do it, it's Trump

Frank Burns from MASH agrees with you.
