Or we could just deal with whats in our country, if that shit comes into our country THEN we deal with it. Why should we be able to go into other countries and do that shit?
Expense or not who cares, its not on our soil.
Iran could sit and kill their own people for all I care BUT what does that have to do with forced American control? or democracy or whatever else the media pitches.
People die by the minute everywhere BUT what the hell does that have to do with US making sure to stick our nose in it?
Come and attack us here and we can fuck them up, if they play OUTSIDE our country then why would it be our business? We think we need to get into everything. If it were really needed then don't you think OTHER nations would do something as well?
I still don't get why OTHER countries can stay out of shit except us... We want to rule and democratize every nation BUT that is not our business or right.
Stay on our own land and trade with them, import export and let them kill who they want on their land. If their people have a problem with it then let THEM stand up to it. We have too many things to fight for on our own turf to play national nanny to the world.
I think you have misunderstood me. Im talking about OUR enemies. If the POTUS has solid intel that there is a group in Somalia or somewhere else that is planning an attack on us, I have no qualms with surgical strikes. Protecting sea lanes from Piracy is also another important role of the US armed forces.
Step back 200-300 years, and think about the problems they had with pirates. (which was their general term for international criminals). It was common knowledge that civilized nations were at war with these bandits, and that anyone who could kill them should. Today should be no different.
There is a distinct difference between defending the legitimate interests of the security of the United States, and trying to 'democratize the world". If I was POTUS, the CIA would have many foreign nationals on the payroll to feed us humint, and when we found one of these scumbags, I would be dispatching two teams. 1. an assasination team to wipe them off the face of the planet with little or no collateral damage, and 2. a diplomatic mission to that nations capital to a. explain ourselves, b. offer cash renumeration for any damages, and c. tell them that if they werent harboring criminals, I wouldnt have had to cross their borders.
That might cause some hurt feelings, but so long as we have applied the right bandages, I have no problem with that.
Regime change, invasions, occupations, influencing local politics, and buying local politicians is what earns us hatred. Everyone understands when you protect yourself.
