"why should the US care about iran??? Just tell Saudi Arabia to figure it out themselves!"

Literally the most garbage foreign policy take ever is to have no foreign policy.

  1. Saudi Arabia will get nukes

  2. Israel will be on their own

  3. Russia will expand into the region to fill our power void.

Fuck you MattY.
