      Let’s apply that question to the rest of the world. Why the Middle East? Why Eastern Europe? Why Asia? Why Latin America?

      Same reasons as EU, Russia, and China. Global economic/military partners rather than global competition/enemies.

      It needs a ‘base’, at every part of the world, which would become a hub for any kind of future deployment. Anyway, it’s not just the US, it can be any powerful countries. It just matter of how they do it, nice or not so nice way, direct or indirectly. China does it through business, e.g. silk road.

      Because we’re all human and protecting innocent lives shouldn’t end at one’s borders.

      Edit: Sorry. We’re not all human and protecting innocent lives should end at one’s borders.

      Thanks downvoters for making me see the light.

            What did your comment say was the US’s reason for involving itself in conflicts on different continents?

                  Forget it. Neoliberals don’t like being forced to think. That’s why they’re neolibs.

                    I had to look up neoliberalism cause I swear there are more different descriptors for political views these days than stars in the sky. It looks a lot like libertarianism which was always stupid to me.

                Lmao, the irony of this comment when you have literally said nothing to support your reasons and when mildly questioned and asked for further clarification you block them because you are incapable of comprehending other views. Enjoy your echo chamber little brainwashed one.
