Those who left and those who could not flee speak of a country in ruins and decry the world’s apathy towards the humanitarian crisis and the lack of rights, mainly for women, which a UN report describes as ‘gender apartheid’
Yeah, that would be nice. But the same people who claim that they don’t want to be the world’s police force anymore also tend to miss the point of what that means.
Sorry, but we aren’t going to swoop in to some African country and save the people there. We aren’t going to overthrow some dictator in Asia just because he is unpopular. Just because some leader is cruel to his own people, that doesn’t mean we should take down his government. That means the rest of the world has to solve it’s own issues and not come running to the US every time some other nation starts threatening them.
I’d just like the US to stop playing world cop and have a decade or two without some intervention somewhere.
