What choice does who have? The various countries in the Middle East that allow us to have bases?

The ones that can turn off the oil spigot and crash our economy into smithereens? (At the same time crashing their own economy and the rest of the world's economies into smithereens?)

The ones that don't have to spend their own money on defense because we do it for them?

The ones that threw up their hands and said, "let the US take care of it"?
