What about Iraq and Syria?
Aren’t there Kurdish boots on the ground along with the Iraqi military to deal with ISIS? The FSA is taking on ISIS, too.
Should we just send in more and more arms there AND do the same with Nigeria - send them arms to deal with Boko Haram?
If we are willing to arm the Kurds and others in Iraq/Syria and willing to arm the Ukrainian military, should/can we do the same with Nigeria?
The Kurds are still a largely militia force battling against both ISIS and Syrian/Iranian regulars. Ukraine is facing open aggression from a formidable power. Both cases are far removed from the situation that Nigeria, a sovereign nation, is facing from an insurgency still largely within its own borders.
I’m not opposed to assisting Nigeria if it can do some good, especially as concerns the new multi-national command being set up. My only concern is that it stay a primarily Nigerian fight.
How about we shouldn’t be doing any of it.
It always comes back to bite us in the rear AND they end up hating us even more for meddling.
This has been the pattern since the 70’s at least, probably longer.
When are we going to wise up?
