I say kill em all until there is no hope of us wasting billions on nation building.
Sounds like “tough talk” that is not practical if the US or US interests are not at stake what benefit to the US is there in simply killing both sides of a conflict. Or better yet using the bully Vs victim analogy can you imagine the police responding to a school principal asking for assistance in resolving a flight and simply ignoring the underlying issue which led up to the fight. Or worse blaming the bully victim by punishing / expelling the bully victim from school insisting that if all the victims just gave the bully their lunch money then there would be “peace”. lol
