Syria was just such a shit storm along with most if not all of 'The Arab Spring'
Turns out, those rulers and regimes were keeping all the Islamists in check and when they were either ousted or weakened they came out the woodwork.
If the West didn't get involved in Syria and especially Libya, there probably wouldn't have been a migrant crisis at all.
Pretty much universally true. We're manufacturing all our own problems and enemies...and it's about the only manufacturing we still do ourselves.
Imagine the young United States, right after destroying Tripoli for sponsoring pirate ships, using the momentum from that victory and saying "Cool, we will now destroy all kings and tyrants around the earth and impose friendly 'democratic' regimes. Death to authoritarians! Liberty and justice for all!"
It's completely antithetical to our founding principles.
I guess the only solution is to bomb them some more. All Hail Our Democracy.
Eh, the whole 'saturation bombardment' thing worked pretty well and kept those slave-trading scumbags away for a hundred or so years. I blame this whole 'nation-building' thing.
