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:

Unless they are forced to, yes. There are so many local scandals with these US military base countries also, especially in Japan, SK, Italy, and the UK, where the troops commit various local crimes like rapes and murders, but are then sent back to the US to avoid being punished.
