People say what about the enemy forces? Who will protect us from them? Well, if desertion was acceptable over there on that side too, there probably wouldn't be any enemy forces
There's the issue of terrorism though. I don't really know anything about the numbers or real risk, but fucking up a country abruptly and leaving, I think that's escalation. Not saying that maybe Iran wasn't the one who started it or whatever, but it doesn't seem like it's helpful to bomb a country as punishment for that.

The US is allied with wealthy countries and bombs poor countries. Saudi Arabia isn’t much better than Iran in terms of how democratic it is.

Or even ""western"" countries, you know like Japan. (Japan isn’t western but they have bases so they’re """western""". Japan’s economy almost surpassed America’s. Then Japan had economic stagnation for decades and has now gotten to the point where in terms of nominal GDP they’re behind India now. How did that happen?

If you want to have a global hierarchy and Africans are supposed to be some poor starving stupid people on the bottom who are just there for charity and exploitation or whatever, do you say, "Well, okay, sure, you people can have the technology to destroy the world."

And there’s been a balance for a while, where they know could do it if they wanted to, but they don’t because they don’t want to be perceived as a threat and they’re left alone. But what if the world changes its mind?
