But that doesn't mean I won't interact.

But some people want to reduce the amount of interaction

That doesn't mean I won't go to the store

We shouldn't be spending tax money on other nations.

But we should

I like to visit the middle east, but not live like they do

We are a superpower, it is our moral obligation to help other countries

Disagree

And the alternative is the UN complaining about how we didnt stop a genocide

Our nation does not live and breathe. It's a structure.

It's not bound by morals, the people are.

What we should’ve done was stay in Iraq longer so reconstruction could be more complete

I mean i don't socialise beyond what is nessesary and I'm doing fine with a girlfriend and everything

*im playing devils advocate with the whole moral obligation thing*

Bad idea. We pulled out after we should have

And yet we’re still there!

That’s the thing. We never actually left!

About Iraq, ISIS is mostly gone and there are nice neighborhoods with hipster teir commie blocks

It becomes quite clear, time after time, that Islamic nations need dictators to contain Islam's dogmatic nature.

I love it, making a fool out of myself

Nation building takes time and money. But time and money is the greatest enemy of warfare.

Feed me your emotes

There was a window where the government was strong enough that they could have controlled the country but we waited

And waited

And waited

And then that government was completely reliant on us

Thanks obama

And then we pulled the majority of our forces out and now there's one hell of a power vacuum

Mmhmm

Hell of a ride

Not to mention that the longer we were there, the more the people started to hate us

Not negotiating a "status of forces" agreement was another colossal mistake.

Yep

But yeah, nobody who has not made a pledge like the hippocratic oath is 'morally obligated' to help anyone.

The Obama administration was fucking awful at foreign policy.

We just kinda yeeted our way in and then yeeted our way half out

Success does not indebt yourself to others.

Can you imagine literally having a president with a literal personal kill list

Your moral obligation is to carry your own weight first and foremost.

If you can, and are inclined to, help someone else with their load, go for it.

And those hits get carried out in top secret drone strikes on civilian areas
