Now obviously sending troops to fight is a non-starter because it would lead to nuclear war.

However, the theyre over there, they can sort it out attitude is exactly what got the world into this mess in the first place. The US and other countries retreating on the world stage has allowed bad actors like Russia to get a foothold in places like Syria and the Sahel. The world just looking the other way when Russia invaded Georgia is part of what led to Ukraine. Which is, of course, destroying the US as well. Even aside from that though the western powers (and its not just the US this all applies to) should not just let other places suffer even if it wasnt in their best interest. There are humanitarian disasters happening right now and powerful countries are turning a blind eye to them, thats pretty shameful.

Now, to be very clear, that doesnt mean military intervention which should always be a last resort. But the western powers do need to do something in the places theyve been ignoring. The isolationist turn of the 2010s has straight up failed.
