A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics.

1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

This isn't the winning argument you think it is...
The US should stop playing world police. And usually it was for propping up United Fruit, etc. with dictatorships, not actually helping those small nations.
You think there would be security in the Middle East if the US stepped fully away? It is silly to think Russia and now China would be fully in control of most of those countries as well as South America. I suspect in an alternate universe, the world likely would have experience WWIII by now if the West just let other major powers do what they want.
Do you think there would be as many problems in the Middle East if the US hadn't stepped in there begin with?
I think it's the world superpowers' responsibility to defend us from each other, and especially from the US. They have destroyed so, so many regimes.
And it's ironic that you mention World Wars when both of them started on Western soil between Western countries. It's not obvious to me that what we need is more Western countries.
