I agree but the void would quickly be filled by China and the sanctions would be meaningless.
I would like to see us try and get out of the ME altogether.
The ball started rolling for us on the ME after WWI and now geopolitical structures have evolved around that paradigm to the point that we have no good immediate solution
One solution is energy independence but of course the left doesn’t like what that entails
Chinese hegemony in the ME would be a global catastrophe but I don’t know if it would be a fait accompli if we pulled out... at least not in the long term. TBH I wouldn’t mind seeing China in a resource-eating quagmire like that. But maybe it wouldn’t be as much of a quagmire for them because they don’t clutch their pearls over “war crimes”, real or contrived
