    Foreign infervention is almost always the worst possible option.

    It only makes sense in the case of active mass genocides (think WWII, Cambodia or Serbia). Toppling an oppresive but stable regime through foreign power always ends in destabilisation and even more suffering to the people.

      Agreed.

      Anyone who suggests otherwise needs to look at the very long history of foreign attempts at “intervention” in Afghanistan.

      The country was left worse than it was after each of those many failed attempts.

      Right.

      Let me know when these problems get solved doing something I don’t suggest.
