Well I guess not invading Syria wasn't enough to stop Putin, eh? It's not really about the U.S. alone. It's just that the illusion of an international alliance standing up for human rights has been shattered and now we face the consequences of that.
As someone who served on the front line in Iraq, you Sir are an ignorant fool.
