What would have been the problem with allowing NK to overrun SK back in the 50s? Or NV over running SV in the 60s? Or ISIS overrunning Syria or Contras winning in wherever that war was going on. Or the Russians staying in Afghanistan.

These regimes are doomed to fail because of the madmen with their pseudo-communist beliefs that mean that live on the fat while the rest live in squalor. China was bankrupt until the US started to open the doors for it to sell goods to the West. Now it's a huge military and economic threat.

The US polices the world to make the rich very very wealthy. And has made the world a less safe place.
