Honestly, I agree with McCain. Russia already committed an act of war against us in 2016. If we are going to intervene in Syria, I'm not losing any sleep over hurting Russia's feelings, or thinking they'd attack us over it.

No.

And I was advocating for us to take action in Syria as far back as 2011/2012. It's one of Obama's biggest failings.

stability is not the highest goal of this world, otherwise all countries would be dictatorships.

The middle east is obviously worse off due to our foreign policy.

i agree.

the question would just be if it is the noble thing to first break something and then look away and let others do the cleaning.

When a bull is in your china shop, you don't ask the bull to stay and fix things.
