I have come to the conclusion that some evils just need to burn themselves out.
The way Reagan won Cold War I was by letting the Soviet empire collapse after it had gutted itself.
Also, just whose borders is this closer to?

NATO’s and by extension yours. China’s already started attempting the Belt And Road in NATO allies.
If you care about limited government, you’d want at least a sizeable amount of influence to keep China’s colossal government from spreading.
I’ll agree that NATO should not have Turkey’s back on this.
Want to know what Belt and Road means to me?
When China collapses, free roads!
Probably of shoddy construction, but still…
You think China gonna collapse if they build a large enough offence buffer with other countries’ land? Xi Jinping might as well be the second coming of hitler takin over countries in all but name.
It took a world war to bring down Germany.
Let Russia do the heavy lifting again. It’s in their backyard.
Another colossal government?
These dictatorships are trying to breed big government in hopes they spread it to your neighbourhood!
Yeah. Let them destroy each other.
Then they open themselves up to the spread of the big government contagion. Can’t have limited government with threats to it growing closer to the border.
That’s a bit overly dramatic. You should be in this debate going on.
Be realistic and settle for making half the world safe for democracy, while the other half destroys itself.
Yep. That’s how NATO got out of the Vietnam War. And Iraq.
Well, the US wont say Boo to Turkey: they’re still heavily engaged in manufacture of parts of F-35 that USA does not have back-up manufactring systems for. Turkey can’t have the planes now, because of their purchase of S400 missile systems from Russia, but their factories are still cranking out bits of steel and titanium for the damn things.
The real problem is China. Armenia needs to deal with Russia if they want any support. The US needs to focus attention on China. Sorry for the Armenians though, Turkey hasnt act as a NATO member since Erdogan…
Globalization sucks. Build Team America in America.
A whole bunch of people have been predicting an upsurge in wars fought over water.
I guess they’re all sitting around saying “told you so” right now.
Which side is that?
Nagorno-Karabakh?
A good breakdown of this:
