    Why do you need an ally in the Middle East? America’s not in the Middle East right?

      That’s the “complicated foreign policy” that OP is taking about. There are a ton of reasons to have allies all over the world, which surprisingly includes the Middle East. It could be for military, economic, informational, or other reasons.

      Why do we need to sally out and defeat the enemy? The enemy isn’t inside the castle walls, right?

      Are you really so naive that you can’t see value in making alliances with countries that don’t directly border your own?

            Does causing unnecessary conflict create pleasure for you? It’s a pretty terrible character flaw. You should take a look at that.

                Everyone. They generate conflict with every message by name calling and misrepresenting others’ positions to create tension.

                    That’s voting for Trump. We all know his base is delusional and unwavering. With that knowledge we are charged with the responsibility to stop him. It’s not like sitting out will result in a third option.
