If we don’t do it someone else will....... so pick your poison. Power abhors a vacuum. So it might as well be us that is powerful and forces nations. If not us, others will. China, Russia etc Iran...use your imagination.
I live in the US and I root for the US. I am not a citizen of the world. I am not pro-Russia. I am pro-American power
What would you do? You still won’t answer that question.
