Alot of what's happened in the middle east is directly our fault all the way back to the 1950s. I don't know at what point this poo poo isn't out fault anymore though.

("our fault" being shared by the british and russians as well)

We literally have enough oil that we don't need the middle east anymore for oil

Saudi Arabia is flooding the market in a desperate bid to not destabilize by losing the USA as a trading partner since its allowed to have a horrid restrictive society provided the people pay nothing for stability.

it's not necessarily good for a country's economy to have large numbers of foreign refugees entering the country.

obviously if people are fleeing and in need of help, the moral action is to help them, but ideally their homelands would not be ravaged with war in the first place.

Eh. Thanks to the Middle East being a hell hole embroiled in forever war America developed its shale oil to the extent that not even the Saudi's pumping as fast as possible can crush it. We don't need their oil. It would actually probably be good for America if maybe the Middle East pumped a little bit less oil to revive existing domestic producers.

So the question still remains, from an economic perspective why does America even give a poo poo about the middle east?

He's intimidated, clearly, as the "I mainly agree with her" statement. He's out of his depth. She's showing a firm grasp of not only the politics, but the major players on the diplomatic field.
