      That’s the “complicated foreign policy” that OP is taking about. There are a ton of reasons to have allies all over the world, which surprisingly includes the Middle East. It could be for military, economic, informational, or other reasons.

      Why do we need to sally out and defeat the enemy? The enemy isn’t inside the castle walls, right?

      Are you really so naive that you can’t see value in making alliances with countries that don’t directly border your own?
