I’m running it again because I’ve seen a number of comments here and elsewhere, that boil down to: “it’s not our problem.” I disagree.

Something being our problem doesn’t mean we have to invade and occupy another country, we could decide to do nothing or something less than going to war. But pretending “it’s not our problem” is just pretending.
