Can you explain why letting them take over weaker countries costs the West more money?
There's no reason to support weaker countries, they're weak and likely will get weaker once overtaken by terrorists.
The bargaining chip the West has is trade even China suffers if it loses the ability to trade with the West. Oil is an important natural resource and as soon as the West is less reliant on it the better we in the West will all be.
The problem for terrorists is moving to a level of stability to get the oil from the ground into tankers and then sold. Threatening China with embargoes if they help removes that threat. Russia wants ownership of the oil they won't allow terrorists to own it.
If it comes to the worse, a few well-aimed missiles remove the problem oil creates. Just ask the Saudis to do it.
Would you have preferred the West didn't intervene in the slaughter of Bosnians?
I guess you would have and let many more die. This is what we need to do in the ME.
