      The US “asks”

      Look at the ruins left all over that region to see what happens to countries that don’t cooperate.

        They get overrun by the local threats the USA may have been able to help with? I mean, there’s obviously nuance here, but you aren’t using it either so

          Don’t waste your time. This user has gems like:

          Liberals in America are just right wing anti-communists, they’re not leftists at all. As for Bernie, social-democracy is the moderate wing of fascism and that’s why he supports Biden’s genocide.

          Both parties are evil because this is an evil country that must be stopped.

          But I’m quite serious about hating America. No one should be president and we should do everything possible to make that a reality.

          And told me that Russia is less corrupt and authoritarian than the USA. They ran away from that conversation once facts were laid out.

            Honestly tho. ISIS was born in Abu Graib, a US run prison. The Taliban was a reaction to the warlords the US funded in the war against the USSR. Hamas has been funded by Israel, a US supported ally, for years. All the alternatives to Hamas in Gaza were suppressed. And this is just the middle east. The same pattern is repeated in South America and East Asia.
