This is just another “pre-emptive” bit of scare tactics from a far-left press. They do this any time there’s even the remotest chance of the US military doing anything anywhere. I’m sure you can find one regarding how the crack Cuban military were gonna crush us and inflict 1000s of casualties if we dared to invade Grenada.

Very simply put, it’s a philosophy of “if something might be hard—let’s not try it”. The very least question that this kind of attitude immediately brings to mind is: what kind of attitude is that? A loser’s attitude, that’s what.
