I want to barf but i half agree with Goggle.
We should not keep on looking at ourselves as the world's police force. We should not be providing arms and sustaining wars. We should providing aide and shelter to people who seek to escape it.
If Syria used WMDs on another country we'd be having another discussion (See Iraq gassing Kuwait). But in this case its the government gassing their own people. We should be helping people simply get the fuck out of there.
Instead we've only let in 11 syrian refugees into the states this year and we're gonna bomb the shit out of their country.
a. never said anything about bombing anyone
b. never said i wanted us to be the worlds police
we are, like it or not, and if we just stop today, pull all our troops and turn our back on the world (which we do live on fyi), the power vacuum left will be massive, and im pretty sure that there are more than a few choice individuals that would love to step into that position and take over
now, do you think, that if we turned our backs on the world, the world would just leave us alone?
Googlehead, you ever serve in the military?
To your first point, you're right. The void will likely be filled by someone who isn't ideal or close to it for our interests.
To the second point, definitely not but we would not be the country of first resort for everyone on the planet.
Honestly, I'm too drunk at the moment to properly articulate my argument but these points are semi-close to my beliefs.
im not saying "leave us alone" meaning people dont want to move here or visit here, i mean like "kim jung un or putin trying military action against us, or trying to pull us into a fight somewhere"
look, id love to say our world ambitions are akin to that of sweden (just an example), being pretty much "leave us alone and we leave you alone" with no bases in other countries, not having the world rely on us and our decisions to move us into the future, but thats just not a reasonable expectation at this time, it is definitely something we can work towards and strive for, but today, no, we are what we are and we need to act better about our situation
I am kind of okay with this response to the chemical weapons.
If he follows up as threatened, I guess I am also okay with that but it seems like walking into quicksand.
Ah yes, the old refrain of the uninformed reactionary, "let the rest of the world figure itself out."
America should close its borders and continue hoarding all of its vibranium as well.

TBF we're letting in record lows of refugees Zealot.
While we're talking Russians and the cold war, 57 years ago Soviet Cosmonaut Yuri Gargarin became the first man to orbit the earth.
But shout out to 8 year old Yuri for Home Alone-ing the shit out of a Nazi.

Lets get WW3 over with already..... and settle it in call of duty! C_C
Syria is a dump to be honest I don't honestly get why its worth fighting for at this stage since Retarded State's been ground down. Russia is there only because of its bases.
Really think all the world powers should just walk away from the place at this point. Noone needs a clusterfuck situation developing that noone will win.
So we're the Universe 6 Earth that kills itself over some stupid war, this is why Champa didn't get any goodies.
