We have those bases to protect American interests and project American power. Bases in Germany or the Middle East allow us to get forces there quickly in case we need to instead of flying from Andrews Air Force Base in the US. Also if troops are injured it’s easier to get them to Germany than the US from the Middle East. we are the worlds largest economy so allowing us to have naval bases in the pacific for example let us protect the sea lanes for shipping and American business in the face of Chinese aggression (like when they want to build and claim those fake islands in the South China Sea and potentially disrupt commerce). Or when the Iranians try and shut down oil from the gulf that we and the world need (remember how integrated the economy is). An oil crisis for example may harm Europe worse than us, but that also harms American business and affects real peoples jobs). what did Jack Nicholson’s character say in “The Departed?” “Heavy lies the crown?” You’re damn right, and we’re the king. Be proud! Going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing you are jewish? Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re gonna do a religious ceremony you should do it the right way and that wasn’t in the cards for us.

HawgGoneIt Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 There are some fairly good positives to being involved with Israel, but, a big part of our Muslim/Arab problem stems directly from our involvement with them. Especially when we voice our support for them as they continue to push the Palestinians in various ways. I've never thought that we get enough from them considering the risk to our own personal livelihood from terrorists due to dabbling in the sand over there with Israel. It's just one of those things where I shake my head and move along, because it's been since I was born and will be after I'm long gone probably. We stay stirring shit up over there though, like announcing moving the embassy to Jerusalem, etc. etc. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBlockIsHot Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Israel - US relations are mutually beneficial. They get the much needed back up protection they need from the many neighbors who would love to destroy them. We get a friend and ally in the middle east. This is crucial, considering the current landscape there. If we had to, we could use Israeli bases and other defenses that they have. Fair trade.

If we could we wouldn't need to kiss Saudi Arabia's ass. Far to many complications and would insure that we have no seat at the table as it concerns any peace process with Palestine in the future. Trump may have already made that a reality with the embassy move. While I support Israel right to exist and have a home, I am totally supportive of Palestines right to exist as well and be free (which as of now they are not). Both sides have been guilty of doing things that push peace farther away. Maybe if that bitch Netanyahoo goes to prison like he should they will get a more reasonable PM and not a hard/extreme right PM.
