Japan isn't smack in the middle of the most unstable region in the world.

They do have Red China for a neighbor and no military...

Unstable sure, but realistically speaking, not a threat. There's no country in the middle east that has a legitimate chance at destroying the united states. Japan is right off the coast of China, whom is our main rival.

Sounds like a great argument for abandoning Israel, tbh

The Ottomans conquered, murdered, and enslaved millions (mostly Christians). Let's qualify that along with your "pretty stable" comment.

The Middle East was deeply unstable before Iraq. You have to be young to not know beyond that.

Saddam's invasion of Kuwait and Iran, Lebanon's incursion into Israel, Jordanian internal strife, etc. etc. All of this predated Iraq.

I honestly don't have a response to this due to the ignorance and unfortunate filter you have put on history to see it your own way. I bring up the Ottomans and the atrocity of their splitting Europe in half by cutting the Christian west from east. I do so in order to illustrate there was nothing stable about that.

You bring up Iraq and Israel's benefit...?

Lol what?

I’m certain you believe all mankind was peaceful before the invention of firearms too, commie. Israel’s first stories involving the Bible is when Israel goes into the land, that became there’s by conquest. the land was already at war with itself and Israel went in and were told by God to kill them all. Their only mistake was not doing so. There were already armies... they were already at war... if you knew anything, you would know this. Read the Bible. Or just keep sucking other commies off in your mom’s basement. Your choice, commie.

Equating the Ottoman Empire with stability is about the most historically ignorant thing I think i have ever heard. Are you a Turkish shill or something?

Perhaps Jews shouldn't have stolen land in that region then?

You kick a hornet's nest you deserve to get stung. Repeatedly.
