I decided to make this topic in regards to Obama's comment on calling for America and not Moscow.(On my phone can't get direct quote at the moment). I don't understand why there seems to be a quick call for international intervention regarding political issues in countries when there have been numerous examples in which interventions made the situation worse off(various countries in the middle east, Somalia etc..). I'm not talking about a natural disaster or in regards to significant health issues but more so in regards to issues in regards to the politics of the country.
I personally think that it should be on a case by case basis and that it needs to be well thought out and planned which unfortunately usually isn't the case. For the most part id like to think in most cases intervention isnt necessary. However, I definitely am aware that there may be some circumstances in which immediate action is imperative, hopefully a collaborative effort.
I'm very politically naive, I've only taken one course on global politics which just scratched the surface on a variety of very difficult topics. Its very interesting looking at various cases though and I'd like to hear some of your thoughts.
Also why does America take pride in intervening when it generally doesn't work out in their favour. I mean populations of these countries are probably still going to hate America regardless.
