I feel sorry for the innocent people in backward, primitive societies, but there is nothing we can achieve for them by sending troops. Nothing by sending food or money, either as their corrupt leaders manage to grab it before it gets to the people.

I think if we are unwilling to use our best weapons against an enemy nation, then we have no business trying to make some hopeless version of post-modern “war” against them.

This idea of “humanitarian war” is perverse and gets our own people killed in exchange for little or no meaningful return on the investment.

Am I saying nuke them or forget it? Yes. That’s what I’m saying.

I agree. Maybe not nukes but surely there is bombing we could do that would be effective.

I would say nukes after warning the population but those countries are so small, there’s not much place to go.
