I agree. Now that the U.S. has entered into this thing, they must make sure it is stable when they leave. At the same time, the costs will be large. When you invade countries, it takes a lot of resources to starighten things out. This is why countries generally do not support the invasion of countries. It just costs wayyy too much these days, and the rewards are very little to none at all.

Nations used to go to war because there was a large benefit for them in the end, such as money, resources, population, etc., Nowadays, it political, and sometimes arrogance.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
