This is why Iran is encircled with heavily armed bases. Besides that War with China and Russia is also a key obsession and they believe that the Rise of China will be weakened if the US dominates the Middle East, as China is a world trade based nation that imports energy, food, and raw materials because China itself is resource poor.The rapid decline and credibility of the US on the world stage as a supposed military superpower- The Venezuela action and other acts of violence are also an attempt to prove to the world that America still has the means to impose great violence and destruction to get whatever it wants.American nationalists, most of them poor or middle class, that want the American empire to last for a thousand years and voted for Trump to make this happen.Trump appears to be the puppet of these forces.
