That can o’ worms should probably be labeled “Middle East” or some such.
It’s what happens when no nation wants the United States to be the worlds policeman, yet becomes furious when it’s not there and they can’t afford to hire any effective mercenary forces to do what should be their responsibility….
And exactly how much peace and harmony has the ’world’s policeman’ left in its wake across the planet?
The US only acts in its own best interests. We aren’t the world’s policeman, we are the worlds bully.
It’s a tough decision for the potential recipient when they hear, “We’re here from the US government and we’re here to help you.”
No such thing as a free lunch in international politics.
