I'm cool with that. Let them fight their own battles...but also don't ever ask or expect the US to help.

The problem with your stance is that too many people want it both ways: They don't want the US to intervene, but then also want support in terms of money and special treatment for people emigrating from these countries (and blame the US for the deaths that occur for a terrible government).

Like USA literally abandomed allies and those who helped it in countries like Afghanistan and Iran. Literally betreyed them and put them in danger.

What special treatment are you talking about, really.

You know, maybe it would be just enough if you do not actively work on making their life miserable (sanctions and inciting instability).

There were almost no Syrian refugees before operation Timber-Sycamore. Thank you USA, our dear friend and freedom-sharing soulmate, for unnecessary refugee crisis in Europe (and another one from Ukraine). With friends like that, who needs enemies. Also, as the above two examples (and Biden's Inflation reduction act, and Nuland's 'f*k Europe'), it is not a Trump thing, its USA thing.
