So that some foreigners can die instead of his conservative military base. the U.S.A assumes that the world is still in 1945. They think everybody else are barbaric savages who don't understand when they are being lied to. Not anymore. People rightfully don't trust US to not bomb them when they do the risky thing of putting their soldiers on the ground in the middle east.

To be fair, he gives zero fucks about his conservative military base. If they die, they die.
