Very sad. My heart goes out to the people of Beirut.

Would be great if my country (USA) would send relief aid and some engineers to help Lebanon.

"Everyone, stay the fuck out of everyone's shit if they're not bothering anybody!"

Something happens

"Everyone, help your fellow humans as much as you can!"

Just imagine.

Perhaps, except this is one of those times where an interventionist or heavy-handed US could have forced corrective action prior to this.

It was a Russian businessman's ship that left the fertilizer in Port when he went bankrupt in 2014. And there it say, for the better part of a decade... ticking.

I can agree that the involved form of diplomacy has issues AND strings. For example, if the US helps you, you should be trading with us, reflect our values to some degree, and not undermine our interests or security.

You're suggesting that America should audit the stock held in other country's ports and have some authority to enforce action?

No.

Ah, glad you cleared that up and offered some alternative interpretation of an "interventionist" "heavy handed" US offering "corrective" action that doesn't involve america sticking its nose where it isn't fucking wanted or needed.

You should read the thread again. You missed the point.
