Oh, surely you can do better than that. It's all about they sell us oil we and our allies sell them everything that they have that isn't oil, like tennis shoes, hamburgers, SUVs, and jets they send their kids to our universities to learn how to become engineers hundreds of thousands of them decide to immigrate here but still have family there so they fly back home to visit bringing more money millions of them move to Europe to get jobs but still have ties to home, too we support Israel, which pisses them off back during the Cold War, we were always jockying for place with the Soviets and formed alliances since the fall of the Soviet Union, we've formed other alliances so it's all about oil, money, trade, family, friends, ideas, power, blood, religion, and alliances Maybe you left a few variables out of your own calculation.
