>The only moral foreign policy is foreign aid and soft power.
that doesn't work and you're naive or retarded when it comes to geopolitics, I'll put it in the simplest terms for you:
The US empire is currently in a semi-cold war against rising powers who are trying to destroy its monopoly on the world economy by dethroning the dollar and making the US' rules on global trade obsolete
in europe that power is Russia, and the US counter to that is NATO
in asia that power is China, and the US counter to that is Japan SK taiwan and Australia to a lesser extent
in the middle east that power is Iran, and the US counter to that is Israel
there is more to it than that, like how fragile certain countries are the principles and morals that the people in said country hold, for example while certain muslim countries in MENA are US-aligned the people are not and thus those regimes are fragile and prone to dethroning like in the arab spring, while Israelis, whether you like it or not or willing to believe it or not, generally hold similar values of democracy and liberalism that the US does, the opposition and the government in Israel are both US aligned and so are the people, thus its a more safe investment than say Jordan egypt or even saudi arabia
