At the risk of sounding callous, I'm so sick of hearing about the Middle East.

Can someone please explain to me why any of the rest of the world is supposed to care if they blow each other up. Because it seems like that's just what they do and have always done.

(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
There's oil in them there sands.

(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty much, yeah. It all comes down to money for the rich guys.

(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
It's all about the minerals and oils

And also some very powerful and very influential people have religious beliefs related to the Middle East. And those people are easily manipulated by the ones who just care about the oil.

because USA killed millions of people there and is doing it now via its proxy Israel. Iraq was innocent but all it got is death and poverty. USA is blowing up many countries, even Russia via its Ukraine puppet. Russia has nuclear weapons. So all the countries are watching. They can be next.

LOOOOOL

(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
It's a series of complex proxy wars by countries that have nukes. So it's relevant to pretty much everyone who likes being alive. Not that there's much you can do about it.

Money, religion, trade routes, they all center on the region.

For the entire span of human history, the Levant has been where humanity went to have a war. That is not gonna change any time soon, I'm afraid.

Did you forget the part where the Europeans (and Americans) came in and began fucking shit up post WW1 & WW2?
Why do you think Europe and the US are involved in the first place?

Yup. This is true in a lot of countries where awful things are happening now or have recently. If you look back at history, the root cause is often western country involvement.

(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh. This basically is a "how far do you go back to validate my confirmation bias" matter. And while in recent history, western involvement did help some radical groups gain traction in some areas, the culture and mentality behind those groups is entirely their own, no western involvement needed.

(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 01:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Tell me you work for the CIA (or at least enjoy the taste of their boots) without telling me you do lmao

(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. Ass and boots anon. Always adding quality to discussion here.

(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't think I'm the nonny you think I am but thanks for the laugh

(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 01:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not even American, you dumbass. But you sure seem to love the taste of mullah dick.

It depends on the country. I'm not just talking about the Middle East. The US was devastating for central and south America during the Cold War.

(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"the root cause"

Like how far back?

This is a shaky argument popular in academia. Wars happen because of disputes over resources. Has the west egregiously interfered and exploited these areas for its own gain? Yes. Would these areas be at war regardless? Probably.

If you're in favor of non-involvement, I'm right there with you.

(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
OP

I don't know why they're involved. That's why I asked. The Middle East seemed capable of constant warfare throughout history without the west's involvement.

That said, yes, Zionism was/is a fiasco.

(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Every fundamentalist leaning of a religion is a disaster.

(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 01:31 pm (UTC)(link)
And some religions *cough*Abrahamic*cough* tend more towards fundamentalism than others.

(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
True. There are some pretty deranged cults in other religions as well but they usually only make their own member's lives worse.

(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Such is Islam.

(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Zionism is wonderful for the Jews. Without it, they get murdered.

(Anonymous) 2025-06-20 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
It's also a swell way to justify moving from "Never again" to "We can have a little genocide, as a treat."
