let russia invade whoever they want.

Sadly, the region won't leave us alone. Not to mention we are there to keep Europe stable since they are the ones getting their oil from the gulf

We're damned if we do, damned if we don't. Just like actual police.

@Bulletkin tbh this is why I'm find with leaving them alone. I don't give a shit about euro's and I don't give a shit about their oil

nor does the US more generally need to intervene to keep it going

I think American people would be happier if you didn't honestly

so what if they bitch at us for not helping them kill civilians they don't like rather than do it for them?

Leave Russia, Saudia and Israel be.. everything will sort out by itself..

but particularly areas like the middle east, they only really mess with us after we poke them

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

they are usually pretty good at keeping each-other busy

@Grenade123 out of curiosity, please elaborate

US intervention includes more than military intervention.

yeah so we just don't militarily intervene

well maybe the occasional bombing

kurds, shia and sunni hate each-other as much as anyone else.

lol

When I say "I want to leave them alone", I mean "I don't want us going to other countries for any reason".

Only exception would be to kill people who shot at us first.

the only person worse than an infidel? a heretic.

No Aid, No War 👍

Sadly Isolationism doesn't work

^

That's why I said we can't do it.

there's a difference between being isolationist and simply being more selective about what we do

generally, I don't see a downside to avoiding the middle eas

*east

for the US specifically

>more selective

yeah

Can someone repost this link so it can be played? Is relevant to the convo

Im not going to pretend that I know what that would mean specifically

I'm just throwing thoughts out

what's wrong with being a country like say Norway, don't war with other countries?

LOL

Thank you rider

Because its norway

and isn't in any way comparable

defense against outside actors who have already started attacking our "friends" and are our "friends" are definitely losing is better than just making up fights to take on and figure out how to justify it later
