They can't do that shit because no one trusts them.
People call America an unreliable ally because we only gave our Afghan allies 20 years of ground troop and material support.
Now compare that to China, in theory Iran and Syria should be part of China's sphere of influence, but both countries have been totally anally raped by American proxies in the past year and China didn't lift a finger to stop it. In fact their relations with Israel are actually warming, they just started sending Chinese students to Israeli schools again after pulling them all out when the war started.
And that's fine, a country should be isolationist and puts its own people first, but don't expect to have any loyal allies with such an approach.
Despite all of Americas foreign intervention failures, despite the CIA fucking with South America, and despite Trumps blustering over Greenland and Canada, people count on America for help
