    We’re all doormats unless we actually want to get involved militarily. No country wants to put its military on the ground in any of these places. Nobody gives enough of a shit to help the Armenians. Nobody gave enough of a shit to help the people of Hong Kong. Nobody gives enough of the shit to help the Kurds.
