OK, just leave the middle east to Iran and Russia. Not very smart.
You mean, the 3.5 billion is all that’s keeping the Middle East safe for democracy? I don’t think so, and I live here. Russian (not so much now) and Iranian troops are just on the other side of Mt. Hermon, and I hear the fighter jets overhead going off on missions and returning, and see the young soldiers returning to their posts or coming back for a weekend at home, at the bus stop on Atzmaut Blvd. 3.5 billion would buy me a whole new lifestyle, but it doesn’t amount to sh!t in terms of arms. We do not need it.
The Middle East is a little closer to Russia and Iran, than to the US, don'cha think? I have an idea, why don't we take care of our own backyard? You've got Russians moving into Nicaragua, why don't we worry about that?
