Which of the following scenarios do you think would be a justified military intervention by the US?

[America Needs R'hllor]

The only reason some people vote against the first three or try to think up situations that allow them to vote against the first three- anti-interventionism is one of the funnest LARPs. It lets you sound like you're both against all the bad stuff like colonialism and imperialism AND like you're a patriotic "America first!" populist. Fun for all!

The fact is that it's not a question of "would you intervene if someone lied that there's genocide/would you intervene if you lied there was a state sponsored terrorist attack", it's a question of "would these situations justify a military intervention". Of course stopping a genocide would justify it. Of course if you won't defend any allies from attack you shouldn't have any allies. Of course not retaliating against an attack by another state in some way would just mean it's fine to attack your civilian population. Also, nice to see that the people who oppose a Jewish state also admit they'd oppose military intervention to stop a genocide. I'm sure we can trust ypur diplomatic means to save us if someone tries it again 😍
