It is time for the U.S. military to leave the Middle East, argues @mikehfuchs. “Decades of ill-conceived wars and entanglements have cost too many lives and too much treasure while adding little to U.S. security.”

Washington should pull all U.S. troops out of the Middle East, argues @mikehfuchs. Anything less than a full withdrawal would “leave the United States exposed to perennial risk in the region.”

A broken clock is right twice a day. Like I wrote in @ForeignAffairs, this war shows why it is long past time for the United States to withdraw its forces from the Middle East, stop arming governments that violate U.S. and international law, and end its role as guarantor of regional order. https://t.co/CY6fsAX8SO
NEW: The Pentagon is evaluating its military footprint in the Middle East, including whether to pull back troops from the Persian Gulf, where America’s large overseas military bases were battered by Iran, per sources. W/ @noahjrobertson@sgreports. https://t.co/fwlKHvAr3G

@OpenSociety's @mikehfuchs states it plainly, citing the high costs of the post-9/11 wars:
It is long past time for the U.S. to withdraw its forces from the Middle East, and ramp up its diplomatic, economic, and humanitarian efforts in the region. https://t.co/hAJP9ZEdAf

“The way Washington is playing its security role in the Middle East is hurting far more than it is helping,” writes @mikehfuchs. “Changing course will not be easy, but it is necessary.”

“A military footprint can itself become a liability, exposing host countries to reprisal and drawing the United States into local conflicts.” @mikehfuchs makes the case for withdrawing U.S. forces from the Middle East:

In today’s #MustRead, @mikehfuchs argues the Iran war exposed the limits of America’s Middle East strategy: U.S. troops are not preventing conflict, they’re helping fuel it. He makes the case for a long-overdue withdrawal. ⬇️
