Yet another potential conflict that will happen almost exclusively "over there".

War seems very easy and righteous when it's an export.

The problem is when it is no longer 'over there'.

Certainly that would be a problem for the US.

Over a century since war (as opposed to terrorism) has touched the continental US[1] means that no one alive remembers that being a problem, and it shows.
