Yet many people are currently begging the US to intervene in with Yeman, Ukraine, and the Myanmar rohingya muslim situation.
Criticism in hindsight is easy, how much worse would things have been if the US hadn't fought communism? Stalin killed 20+ million, Mao 50+ million, Pol Pot 2+ million. Without US intervention Large chunks of South America and Africa would have been competing for the communism kill high score.
Personally I don't want the US intervening because we get criticized no matter what we do and we'd save trillions
