  Since the wars in Iraq, sure. Vietnam was the US inheriting Europe’s mess.

    US shifting accountability of their choices on account of some mess of others. ‘We had no other choice because you can’t take care of it yourself’ Thats exactly the narrative the rest of the world doesnt take anymore.

      They do have a point though. Libya, Syria, Lebanon, that's our doorstep, not the US'. And we in fact did not do a good job keeping house there.

  Nah, Europe was a happy participant in Iraq 1. The trend from that to Iraq 2 to whatever the hell they're doing in Iran now is really clear.
