Another problem I see is the older brother syndrome. Little country has a bully, asks high school aged country for help. Big country says no, I have my own problems. Little country keeps asking for help, and being the bigger country, they feel obligated to help.Flake wrote:The US has two problems right now: We are gearing up for a Presidential election so foreign affairs are on the back burner for 90% of the country.

The US probably is afraid of starting another war alone, specially when they have sift their focus towards Asia, and China and Russia just love selling weapons to them, and don't like any revolution that is successful.
What I'm getting at is that if a dictator, small war, or revolution begins, everyone runs for help before trying to deal with it themselves, and complain when noone comes to help them even though they themselves never helped in any other case.
Odd wording, but I was trying to make a point.
