We already tried that at least once in Africa complete with an army of reporters waiting on the beach when the Marines landed on the beach. When the Marines arrived, reporters turned on the flood lights on them. Those reporters were lucky the Marines exercised self control because when entering a hostile area secretly in the dark of the night and are hit with spot lights you're about to come under attack so get ready to fire back. Made me wonder if someone in the Clinton administration told the reporters about the landing for international publicity. The operation didn't work then and it would not work now.

Really, we hurt them? Looks like they're doing it to their own people regardless of what the world thinks.

Nope. No decision to invade is based on debt. It is based on potential earnings and diplomatic alliances.

Congress has the printing press, it just got approval to run the damn thing 24-7.

Have fun paying for it.

In the grand scheme of things, dead dying Black children aren't important. If you want to help, you can always pack your bags and fly over there to help, otherwise ****.

Who do you think keeps these guys in power?

You know the one's that hurt their own people.

Here is the history of the US and Somalia/Ethiopia.

We just wanted shipping lanes... right

Somalia and the US long and troubled history

Loving money and power more than people, gets you Somalia.

Nice thing about nature and the reality of this planet. Is that no one can ever blame the babies.

Until now!

What a douche bag you are.

Facts aren't meant to be kind. The world doesn't care about starving sub-Saharan Africans, it does the opposite, the well-off have been directly and indirectly causing the hardship, from European colonial era to modern day land grab via leases for farms, etc, and various policies like price-dumping, tariffs, and agricultural protection rackets of the developed world.

The attitude presented by the OP is very paternalistic (why won't we help them?! waaahhh!) while ironically, also highly ignorant.

You left out the other nation interfering with them, the Soviot Union as listed by the very article you linked.
