Staying out of it was what the people in America were demanding, until we were attacked. We used to be an isolationist country for most of our history. Since WW2 though, our politicians seem determined to send our young men to die for causes which affect them only tangentially all over the world.

Are you ready to send your children to fight China and remove them from Tibet and their ethnic cleansing of the Uighurs?
The globalists have no interest in these victims so I suspect you believe its none of our business.
