Dear Mr. President,

It concerns the American people that our soldiers are fighting on foreign soils when we have problems here in our 50 United States. We have no excuses to keep them out there which makes me believe that and our military and diplomatic presence in the Middle East and certain parts of Africa is a waste of time, resources, and even relationships which we could establish with more stable countries than the ones in those areas. If we keep trying to fix the problems that they create, we will get dragged down with them. He are the reasons I believe that we should discontinue our diplomatic relationships with the countries in question.

FINANCIAL ISSUES

The United States is currently at an estimated national debt of $17.206T according to the CIA World Factbook as of December 31, 2014. That is quite a high large number, wouldn't you agree? The US spends around $596B on the US military alone. From 1946-2015, an average of around $35B has be spent on foreign aid separately. We do not need to spend $631B when we have issues of our own. All the money that we spend on fixing extremely unstable terrorist-infested countries can be used to help solve problems in our country. If we are to aid an unstable country, then we should aid the people in need of it, not militias that will become an organized terrorist group within 5-10 years. We cannot afford this war forever and it will drag us down with the rest of the countries if we do not act for ourselves. It may sound selfish, but it is not our responsibility to take care of the people under a country we do not govern.

DISLOYALTY

It is already a well known fact that without us constantly providing them with weapons, they would not be able to do the same for us as we would do for them, but did you know that the terrorist groups that we fight today had received additional support from the governments in the Middle East. On July 15, 2016, the US government released the 28 pages of the 9/11 investigation which had been hidden from the American people for almost 15 years! The documents have shown that the Saudi Arabian government may have been directly linked to the 9/11 attacks earning that they may have betrayed the us to push their Islamic political agenda forward. The Taliban’s formation was supported by the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence Agency and in 1994, they used the Taliban to establish a regime in Afghanistan as it would benefit the Pakistani government greatly. In addition, the governments of Saudi Arabia and Iran had heavily supported the Islamic militias in Afghanistan as they competed for regional hegemony which threw Afghanistan into an even worse state than it already was and continues to make the work of the American soldiers that much harder. Every time we try to put an end to the wars, the governments betray us and prolong the war that never ends.

MISSED OPPORTUNITIES

While we have been trying to keep our loose bonds with Middle Eastern countries, we could have been using the opportunity to better our relationships and help improve the countries of Asia, Europe, parts of Africa, Latin America, and South America. The bonds we can make with those countries can be proven to be more reliable than the ones we make in the Middle East and certain parts of Africa. To get rid of our oil dependency from the Middle East, we could start buying oil from the Russian Federation and use that to create a very good future for both of our countries. We spend all this time trying to keep our ties with corrupted countries and fixing the problems they create and using our government to care for the people of other countries, but in the end, we keep digging our already deepening hole into an even deeper grave.

In conclusion, I am stating that our government is failing to comply with the needs of the people it is supposed to serve and pushing towards the interests of those they should not.

Sincerely,

The American people.
