Non-interventionism
by Tim Starr
Non-intervention: [1]
1) Failure to enforce Versailles. Result: WWII, 50 million dead.
2) Abandonment of Chiang Kai Shek. Result: Mao wins Chinese civil war, Great Leap Famine, 60 million dead.
3) Yalta, letting Stalin have eastern Europe, no rollback. Result: 50 years of Soviet slavery.
4) Vietnam: Anti-Communists de-funded in 1973. Result: Saigon & Phnom Penh fall in 1975, 4 million dead.
5) Carter drops Shah in 1979. Result: Soviet-sponsored Khomeini’s revolution, Iran-Iraq War, Iran becomes world’s biggest terror sponsor, goes to war w/ America in 1979 & still is at war w/ us decades later, mass-murdering people in Lebanon, Gaza, Syria, Scotland, Argentina, etc.
6) US drops Somoza, Sandinistas win, until forced to abide by free election results by US-backed Contras.
7) JFK promises never to oust Castro from Cuba, after cutting Bay of Pigs air support & caving in Cuban Missile Crisis. Result: More than 50 years of Cuban slavery, Cuban-sponsored guerillas & terrorists throughout the Americas, colonization of Venezuela, Cuban puppets in power in Nicaragua, Bolivia, etc., Cuban invasion of Angola, Grenada, etc.
8) Rwanda: US refuses to let UN forces in-country stop genocide, US won’t even say “genocide,” 1.2 million Tutsis killed in weeks.
9) Afghanistan: US leaves in 1990, Taliban takes over, hosts Al Qaeda, 9/11 attacks staged from there.
10) Iraq: US wins by 2011, leaves entirely thanks to Biden, ISIS comes back to life in power vacuum.
11) Syria: US refuses to overthrow Assad, civil war breaks out, 500k dead.
12) Afghanistan: Biden pulls out all US troops before civilians, doesn’t even tell our allies there, says Ghani regime will stand. Ghani flees, Taliban takes over in days.
13) Ukraine: Biden says no response to “limited incursion,” lifts NS2 sanctions, pulls all US personnel out. Russia invades within days. Zelensky shames Biden into reversing course.
What good has “non-intervention” ever done?
