The idea of national sovereignty rests on the debatable assumption that the people of a given nation are those best suited to govern it because they have literal skin in the game. The foreign interventionists whether in liberal/conservative flavors and their Comprador enablers

among the natives argue that sovereignty is only provisional and that there are always, conveniently enough only for America, exceptions that necessitate foreign rule again namely that the US state department bureaucracy and CIA should govern your nations for you and that they

would do a better job of it. Yet as we have seen in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and Syria, foreign intervention doesn't actually solve problems but merely accelerates the conflict because the weaker domestic party will seek to harness foreign power for their own political fights.

The US always taking the side of pathetic losers isn't a coincidence, it is because only the hopelessly inept and incapable would sell themselves to uncle sam for political power. Conflicts are best ended cleanly and decisively with a clear victor and vanquished. It is Western

intervention that drags them on for an indeterminate number of years where reconciliation is impossible because the defeated is propped up like a puppet forever where the real lasting damage is done. This thread was inspired by recent events in Burma with the usual cohort of

R2P regime change moral harridans and Anglophone compradors wailing incessantly and pointlessly for "something" to be done, chiefly that the US should decide the government for the Burmese because allegedly 700 protesters have been killed in the past three months. If they ever

actually did intervene to put some weak puppets in power, the resulting conflict as power equilibrium snaps back to balance will mean a war with two orders of magnitude more dead. This is inevitable but the slave/child morality of American assets would deny this thinking that a

decrepit empire barely able to properly govern itself has either the right or even capability to govern others. When you are such a useless loser that you are relying on Western Journalists and think tankers to fight your battles for you, you don't deserve and won't get a country
