Ignoring for a moment that the need for almost all of these "fragile security positions" is from our own doing.. invading the country isn't the only way.
How about we bring wide-spread international attention to it? What about pressuring Myanmar's neighbors to take a stand against it (sanctioning Myanmar's leadership)? For fuck's sake, what about providing support for refugees fleeing that situation?
I don't know which answer would work, nor did I claim to, FYI since you somehow think I said that, but doing absolutely nothing is probably not a great idea.
- weberc2 9y agoI tend to agree, but our society incentivizes political inaction from our leaders. Doing something good and hard that could be cast in an unethical light (i.e., virtually anything) can be damning. Of course a good leader would sacrifice his career to do the right thing, but our political system largely weeds out most such leaders before they rise to national office.
