Precisely. But a significant section of the U.S. government and lots of high-income U.S. citizens WANT to change the status quo. See OP. And there are good, legitimate reasons that most non-NATO nations don't like the West. They have brone the brunt of NATO interventions. Or American support for terrorism and coups.
The rich strata of the U.S. who would never serve in a real, active war and have never faced human suffering in their lives - will actively cheer on and sponsor the losing side resulting in extreme number of human casualties.
- samus 3y agoI don't really agree; the training mission can contribute to stabilize the situation. It raises the incentives to not change the status quo, for both sides, since contrary to most past US interventions, escalating this issue will hurt US interests as well. Even if one side prevails without large-scale destruction, the economic impact would be severe for both sides. Apart from that, the training mission could be recalled just as quickly again. Curious about what's gonna happen after the next election.
