Ok, but meanwhile there are a lot of innocent lives being ruined as homes are destroyed and civilians slaughtered at the hands of a brutal dictator and his Russian accomplices. Unnecessarily destabilizing regions because we don't like a regime is one thing, but using our military prowess to help threatened peoples defend their lives and political freedom is quite another.
see my comment on being the "World Police". This country supports and props up dictators all the time. Why should we pay for a war (with dollars and blood) in another country when we can't even help the homeless here?
You as a human being will make sure your children/family are fed first, before you give to someone else, right? How is that any different as a nation?
