Military occupation [...] is temporary hostile control According to wikipedia. Where is the hostility between the US and, say, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, Jordania or Saudi?

There are very few, if any, regions in the middle east that the U.S. hasn’t intentionally destabilized or politically infiltrated and sabotaged to achieve whatever our goal was at any given time, usually oil. It’s less that they are accepting and welcoming of America and more that they know that cooperation on their end will lead to less bombs on their schools and hospitals. We are a merciless imperial force, not a welcomed ally. Check out Operation Ajax and just how much America has been involved in forced military ran regime changes of governments around the world, most of our destabilization efforts are focused on the middle east due to their crude oil supplies. permalink fedilink source parent
