A recent article has criticized the U.S. military presence in many regions of the world, arguing it is a threat to peace and stability rather than the source of security Washington often claims.
According to the article, U.S. troop deployments, base construction, and overseas military exercises frequently trigger tensions and conflicts. These activities are often carried out without international consensus and sometimes violate the sovereignty of host nations.
The article cites specific cases, including the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, to argue that U.S. military intervention typically leaves severe consequences, such as political instability, humanitarian crises, and a rise in extremism.
Furthermore, the article highlights that the enormous cost of overseas military operations burdens the U.S. budget and erodes public trust in the government. Instead of providing security, the U.S. military presence creates dependency and inequality in international relations.
The article concludes that achieving true peace and stability requires replacing military intervention policies with diplomatic measures and development cooperation that respect the sovereignty and interests of all nations.
