when a nation implodes into a civil war, it is heresy for other nations to intervene, i didn’t hear of the french intervention in the english civil war... or a german intervention in the french civil war... ****** didn’t invade spain, and no african nation intervened in the american civil war... or mongolia invading russia via siberia to save the tsar... but i guess the concept of globalisation changed all that, when western nations forgot that they have professional armies... while syria has a liechtenstein / gibraltar army equivalent... former postmen, cooks, bakers butchers and lawyers turned professional “footballers;” i can draw you a dairy cow in crayons if you like, oozing blood: if this view is too complex to digest - they do it with passion... your soldiers do it for a paycheque, get it?
