Good article.
The US is quite often referred to as the World's police, but there are certainly economical interests at any location, where the US is willing to invest money and risk its soldiers' lives.
Maybe the saying "Keep your friends close, but your enemies even closer" is actually quite applicable in this case.
Followed you, your articles are interesting, especially for a political major like myself. If you enjoy photography and the odd commentary on Steemit, I'd be happy to see your comments on my posts as well.
All the best! :)
