The Yellow Hats responded with their own insults, and

Military Involvement Around The World Throughout America’s history of being a superpower, America has asserted its dominance into the world’s problems. President Barack Obama once said “the more and more, we all confront difficult questions about how to prevent the slaughter of civilians by their own government, or to stop a civil war whose violence and suffering can engulf an entire region” (Scott U.S. Intervention).
