Notes:

The map I used didn't include Turkey (US ally) or Gaza as part of Palestine. Palestine and Lebanon are the only countries that have only been attacked by Israel and not the US directly. Pakistan is technically a US ally and Lebanon has security agreements with the US, but neither host US troops.

For every single country in the oil-rich Middle East, the options are to let the US troops come voluntarily, or to fight them off when they attack.

I did another version for China btw:

I could do one in Southeast Asia, but no matter where on Earth I did it, the US one would not be greyed out like China in the Middle East. Almost as if the only places other countries are "active" are regions nearby where they have legitimate security interests, while the US is out to conquer and subjugate the entire globe.
