Amen! Also South Korea, Japan and Europe, the war has been over for a long time.
My only issue is chaos, which seems to be triggering authoritarian responses everywhere. We created a lot of the chaos, so staying engaged is not a solution to that problem. On the other hand, leaving a vacuum will guarantee that chaos will get worse. We broke it and have no idea how to fix it, if fixing it is even possible. In the mean time, Assad continues to murder his own people wholesale and every Muslim faction has a military wing that seems to be at war with every other faction. Africa is not better, and the refugee problem is now triggering even authoritarian responses outside those regions.
It's a mess, and a dangerous one. If we had anyone else at the helm than Trump, disengaging might be viable. Trump is such a wildcard that any decision is a bad one.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
