So I should not fix a leak in my roof because Steve’s house down the street is flooded and I should be happy that my bedroom is still dry?

So, succinctly:

1) Ultimately, what happens in another country is that country’s problem. Sometimes we ought to intervene, but the bar needs to be very high. Intervention most of the time leads to outcomes ranging from bad to catastrophic.

2) I am entitled to participate in how my country is run, and I owe to future generations to help improve it as much as I reasonably can.

I’ll let you piece 1 and 2 together.
