(4,856 posts)I'm a former US marine 1st battalion, 6th marines, 2nd mar div, 85-88- who believes sometimes it's actually right to help countries....that is how you promote good relations in the world. Get in help out...leave....and don't take any of their resources or use them for selfish reasons....just help out and get out.
I advocated at the Guardian weeks ago for the US to send in troops to help the children in Nigeria. I'm ok if the mission is a good one. Personally I prefer peace in all matters and using our brains instead of weapons. Your attributing things to me that have nothing to do with the matter at hand.
If anything you've just once again helped me out...by stating that Lavrov himself was actually understanding and forthright enough to state that they understood the US had legitimate interests in the region. It actually paints Russia as more reasonable in negotiations than the US media, government and public are led to believe. Especially as we are playing around in their back yard.
