I concur.
No matter which country we poke our noses into, we never seem to make things better, just the opposite usually.
All that happens is that we lose UK lives, and become hated for decades to come by the locals.
I advocate investing resources into HELPING the estimated 3.5 million people who are displaced on the borders, and let the battle ensue internally without our picking sides. Then, when its over, they can move back in and pick up the pieces of whats left. How idealistic of me.
At least we will be alleviating a little misery, rather than causing it for a change.
