A failure of American leadership?

[Piglet]

Russia is doing whatever it wants, while America stands aside, Putin is even threatening more wars, and is fuelling Serbia to start a war there. He threatens Moldova, and everyone else.

There seems little doubt that the west, with America as boss, is not doing enough for the Ukranians to kick the bear out.  Indeed, Biden doesnt want to.    And we all suffer economically, the west is bankrupt any way, and were all going to suffer.  EVENMORE.  Something bad is coming.

To use a Hollywood western  as an example, a cowboy is shooting up part of town, killing as needed, and the sherriff, America, does nothing, watching from across the street, even though he knows that his side of town is next.

The sherriff has destructive hardware you wouldnt believe, while the cowboy has a pea shooter. 

What would you do?

I'm curious as to why you think America should be a leader in the grand scheme of things?   I mean,  logically speaking,  America is less than 300 years old.    We are just a baby compared to any country in Europe.    Why should we take part in this scuffle?  

I don't think that America should be responsible for what Russia does,  nor do i think America should be responsible for saving the middle east.   


What has your country done?  Or are you of the mindset that only America can save the world?

America has the biggest military in the world by a long shot, it can do what ever it wants, thats why its the worlds boss, or cop.  Can you stand by and watch the horrors of this world and do nothing?  You are your brothers keeper.   Having said that, water finds its own level, maybe non intervention is the way to go.

Life on this planet will always throw up instances where there is no answer all you can do is choose, and not know which choice is the better outcome, because both are right.  If it was me, i would never have come out of Afghanistan, and when it was clear genocide was being comitted in the Ukraine, id tell him that he cant do that.

And id back it up with force.  You cant have a mad dog running rampant.  He will of course threaten the big bomb, my response would be, " go on then" my big ones are on you and your family.

Putin gambled that the west would not intervene his invasion, he was right.  I would gamble he would not start a nuclear war.   If he did it would still be worth it, you cant take a knee, like we are now, and not expect it to get worse.    There is an Indian saying, " If you let someone put their finger tip in your mouth, you will end up with a fist down your throat". 

The last thing we need is a Biden and Obama in charge, it was obamas surrender in Syria, his yellow bellied weakness that helped lead to this.   If it was Trump, the world would be safe.
