How about a “No Americans in places we have no business being” zone instead?
I am stunned daily by how many people want us to be Imperial America and to dictate the affairs on the other side of the world. Often it’s the same people bitching about America being worldcop.
Can’t have it both ways folks. Pick one.
We should have left the buffer troops in Iraq.
We should have targeted ISIS and wiped them out.
We should never have become involved in Syria.
We should involve ourselves overseas at times.
Iraq was one such time. We had it won, and Obama gave it all away.
In nature, vacuums will be filled.
The region around Syria and Iraq became a vacuum because the U. S. refused to clean things up.
In walks Russia, to fill the void.
We need to take a long hard look at that dynamic, because if we are not careful, that is the future of our world.
I do not want proxy Russian and Chinese states around the world. We will see them on every every continent including the Americas in time.
The world is too small to stand by and watch something like ISIS play out and not take action.
As for Syria, I’m not convinced the uprising wasn’t part of the Muslim Brotherhood’s actions. Syria was just one more nation whose leadership they wanted to topple IMO.
Removing Assad wasn’t a good idea. I think we picked the wrong side. Terrorists are terrorists are terrorists.
NONE of them are moderate.
