especially with the whole China/Russia even India's growing practice of neo-expansionism/export of influence
proxy wars and any other war we are not compensated for (YES!! America should charge for its "services"! ) should be left alone and far away from North America
great example would be the nagging and near conditioned responses of professional poli's who react to Russia and Iran's presence in Syria:
- it IS in their backyards
-they WERE invited by the official govt of Syria to be there
but, US and western politicians and pundits insist that we can't just let Russia and Iran have such a presence
so,we went there half assed and yes we helped the Kurds, but our presence was not only unwanted but illegal by international law.
now, we have partially created yet another military dependency (the Syrian Rojava Kurds) and are in the process of leaving them 'hanging' for domestic political expediency.
ridiculous to continue this way!
it is this old thinking that has led, in part, to the current "crap sandwich" our world is in now
