Do you mean strictly numbers of "citizens" or what the culture devolved into, caused by that multicultural influx...or something else not related to either?

How exactly, is it your problem? Is it your problem because the men and women who volunteer to risk their lives to blow up shite and kill people in the service of their country, might actually die doing so?
Is it your problem because of the money we spend? Do you have any idea what happens to our oil based economy if Iran and/or Russia takes over the ME, and realize that what we are spending represents a huge savings over what could potentially happen in that scenario?

Does any other country have 5% of the amount of dual citizens in our Congress? Is this not a huge concern for our sovereignty?!
I seriously doubt it, and I'm not a big fan myself. But if it's such a big concern of yours, tell me how many times you have spoken to your representatives about creating a law that prevents dual citizens from holding office? You do realize that the 15-30 million criminal illegals in this country probably have as much affect as Israeli dual citizens, correct? How do you feel about closing our borders?

frick off commie. Israel is a wonderful country and a great vacation destination. Our troops are safer there than they are in (for example) Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana.

It's all in the Bible/Revelations. Always sidewith them until the final battle that we win against the Muslims. Then 2000 years of peace. We can't leave Israel. Leave WW2 bases in the Phillipines, Japan, etc. and Germandy/Italy, England. My dad was stationed in England years ago, should have been Barksdale in La..

Fact.

Some of you guys are off your fricking rocker. We didn't do all that much in WW1, but may have been the proverbial straw that broke the Nazi camel's back.
Whether we were involved or not, Hitler was involved in WW1, and Germany would have still lost, after a much more protracted war. So, there is no reason to believe the "peace" achieved would have been any more reasonable than Versailles.
And then you go full bonkers about WW2. The Nazis were exterminating an entire people, from as much of Europe as they could conquer. Now, I'm not a Jew, but I'm enough of a human being to say frick anyone who says the world would be a better place, if we had not done our part to stop this extermination. It's pretty fricking sick to say something like that, knowing what was going on.

The USA has permission from the host country to be in that place.
Neither Syria nor the United Nations has authorized US military forces to be present anywhere inside of Syria, which is a Sovereign Nation-State.
If the USA believes that it can unilaterally place its military forces inside Syria without proper authorization, then, might that set a precedent that, say, Russian forces may be present inside of the USA, without our authorization?
We should be careful about this, in case Trump gets the bright idea to ask Russian troops to surround the White House and protect him so that he can be POTUS for life. THINK, about it, Democrats! Maybe its a bad idea for foreign troops to be inside of countries without the host country's permission.

We could have perhaps not been quite so helpful to Comrade Stalin. They eventually would have beaten the Germans back, but taken a little longer doing it. Let them bleed each other white, leaving US to pick up the pieces in Europe.
Maybe there is no East Germany and no Iron Curtain after the war.

I am in 100% agreement with OP...

Why would we give up a base in that part of the world? We don’t have to go jumping into wars all willy nilly but a base there is important if we ever need to engage in war for US protection.

Great Britain declared war on Germany...keep that in mind. Russia attacked Poland right after Germany did. Russia also attacked Finland and let us not forget the Baltic countries as well, yet we become allies with Russia?? Want to guess how many Jews Stalin killed?? Always remember, history is written by the winners, but sometimes you need to take a deeper look at facts and reality.

Stupid and naive..
We and Britain were not so much "allies" with the Soviets.
"The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend....." For now...
THAT is why WE supported and gave arms to the Soviets in WWII..... NO other reason.....
Germany was a MUCH GREATER threat at the time than Soviet Russia. Read and learn more; you are not stupid, but you are only halfway there.
