The U.N should pass a resolution allowing Japan and Germany to send thousands of troops to deal with ISIS. Should this happen, in less than a month the game will be over and there will be a long lasting peace in the middle East.

Europeans are waiting for USA and its taxpayers to take care of ISIS.

I hope Obama does not send any troops there. They are too far from us and are not an immediate threat.

The European Union should handle ISIS and Russia.

I agree. It shouldn't always be us. ISIS is a threat to Europe to and much closer.

That's just stupid. ISIS is no threat at all. They're already getting their ass kicked by the Iraqi army. If anyone wants ISIS gone, it's Iran. Their military is actually formidable. ISIS is Sunni, Iran is Shia. It's to Iran's benefit that ISIS is wiped out. Low information voters shouldn't be so easily duped into believing another boogeyman is on the horizon

A UN resolution means nothing, Japan's constitution does not allow engagement of combat troops unless it is for purely defensive purposes. They have active participation in most UN peacekeeping operations and were part of the US's coalition in Iraq and Afghanistan but as a supporting role, not in direct combat.

In any case, Japan needs to maintain troop levels in their own home islands as there is a general consensus that the US is becoming unreliable in case of provocation by N.Korea or China.

For Germany, same issue - they need to keep troops and forces at home in Europe in case Russia just make a move on the Baltic States.

Everybody already have their own crisis to deal with at the moment

Well, according to this, peace will last just shy of 6 months. Doesn't seem worth the trouble, or lives.

Right. Look what happened last time Germany and Japan sent troops.

Better, send in the British and the French. They're the reason the Mideast is in such a mess in the first place. Then send the British in to undo what they stated in Israel.

The Middle East wouldn't be in such a mess if nobody had ever advised outside countries to send in troops.

Are you counting the British in that? Cause last time I checked 3 people from my estate died in Iraq and Afghan, tons more from my city and 632 more from my country. So please don't demean our sacrifice.

BBC News - British military deaths in Iraq

And thousands maimed.

Japan couldn't care less about Isis tbh. China is the real threat to them, not a bunch of lunatics who are screwing **** eight thousand miles away.
