Right. So they say we’re bad, we say they’re bad. I’m all for letting them work things out on their own and stay out of their local disputes so long as they keep it local.

But unfortunately with the weapons they’re willing to use against each other it may be hard to just sit on the sidelines.

Any case OP was painting them as being “innocent”.

Someone's got to keep selling them those weapons, right?
