“Not my flag
Not my country
Not my problem”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

What you said might sound like good virtue signaling. I support the symbolism of it. However....

While what you said sounds heroic and romantic, it’s unfortunately not realistic to say “not my problem”. It IS your and my problem - wether we want it or not.

Here is an example of what I mean:
If you are on a cruse-ship and there is a severe fire in cabin 87, will you say : “Who cares, its not my cabin, not my problem - I’m in cabin 78”!
In reality, that fire is happening on a ship. Any problem caused on that ship is risking to affect EVERYONE onboard.

Earth is like a “ship” on which humanity is living. And every country of the planet is like a “cabin” on that ship. The invasion of Ukriane by Russia concerns a massive region of the planet containing all the natural resources Russia, America and many other countries are in desperate need of to sustain their every day lives...

Most of the components of your phone and car comes from abroad.
America is deeply dependent on imports from foreign countries.
There are a lot of rare earth minerals which simply don’t exist on US soil. Without them our industry would collapse.

Thus, we can’t afford to isolate us from civilization - we need it to survive.
In order to survive, countries are teaming up in blocks.

The Eastern block/alliance is : China, Russia, Belarus, North Korea, IRAN, Cuba, Venezuela. There is also the BRICS, which unite socialist-communist nations and a few non-aligned.

You see... all our enemies are organized in groups and blocks of nations, and support their allies to 100%!

So we should do the same right? If we want to survive like they do.

And we do : America is working closely with Europe and vice-versa.
TOGETHER we are able to constitute a Western defensive block.
It’s just fairness.
