People have different ethical principles though. When psychologists studied the trolley problem they found out that "about 90% of respondents have chosen to kill the one and save the five", i.e. to intervene. This is not that dissimilar from taking a decision to intervene in a war.

I think we need to stop doing this kind of thing and look towards ourselves for a while. We have a lot of work to do in-house and I think it's high time we prioritized that. Outrageous that we're handing over hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine when we have so many issues here.

Add to that, I'm not sold on NATO anymore. Their mission is accomplished, USSR is dead. Time to dissolve that outdated organization and let the EU handle their own problems. We can always lend a hand, but I'm sick of being called imperialists whenever we intervene.

Iraq and Afghanistan were a shit-show and useless. In the end it did nothing but alienate us in the Middle East. Same everywhere we stick our noses. When was the last time our intervention had a positive effect? WWII?
