First paragraph: sorry, I'm not reading books just because you feel they validate your worldview. If there's an argument to be made, make it.

Second paragraph: bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.

First of all, occupation and annexation are completely different things. Russia is attempting to erase Ukraine from existence... the US has never attempted that against any nation, to my knowledge.

Second, you're begging the question here constantly. Is the US growing crops in Syria and then selling / importing them? Are we getting rich off Syrian oil? No? Then what's your point?

Third, who says Iraq and Okinawa want American troops gone? I don't think that's true. If anything, the presence of American troops makes those places markedly more secure and less liable to be invaded (both Okinawa and Iraq are subject to aggression from nearby nations), and pumps much-needed USD into their economies.

In conclusion: everything you said is bullshit.
