In Somalia, U.S. Troop Withdrawal Is Seen as Badly Timed: Somali presidential elections are scheduled in just a few months, war is erupting in neighboring Ethiopia, and Shebab militants are still strong. The timing, Somalis say, could not be worse

Global democracy is declining due to isolarionist policies and any potential ability to salvage something needs to be taken.

Declining? Aren't you guys the one who been overthrowing democracies across the world and installing military dictators for the last what 80 years?

Instability in one country spreads. There is no such thing as domestic policy in a void, every authoritarian leader is a threat to international instability.

Like above it all boils back down to you guys destroying democracies for national interest. Iran was a democracy and now it isn't. The dictator in Libya was overthrown then the west left and ditched it to it's endless civil war. ISIS rose as a consequence of the Iraqi War.
