Yeah but the threshold for Western governments to engage in foreign, local stuff is very high. It's almost exclusively
- some country or its exiled representatives directly ask for aid , e.g. against narco empires, but it's nowhere near a given that we react (e.g. Haiti, who has been begging for help for years now)
- it threatens international shipping safety on popular trade routes, e.g. the Houthis in Yemen or Somalian pirates... and it's funny that the shipping co's complaining the loudest until military intervention comes are the ones who refuse to fly their ships under Western flags.
- islamists threatening to spread their terrorism to other countries
And that's it. Our general publics aren't very happy any more to spend trillions of dollars on oil grab operations or even on desperately needed support such as in Ukraine.
