I do. Cold as it might sound, the events in the Middle East do not affect me so directly as do shitty decisions handed down by the highest court in the land.
But it does affect allies of the United States in Europe. There isn't the will or the money in Europe to fight more pointless wars. The United States will feel increasingly alone in the wars it wages. I don't think any Western European country will be prepared to put ground troops in Syria. I believe Hilary will struggle to find allied countries willing to expand the war in Syria - as she has said she wants to do. And that will look really bad for her.
The more refugees come the more people turn to Fascism. That's bad for all of us. I am very concerned about th rise of Fascism in Europe. Point is, you're right, the wars in Middle East don't affect the United States and the United States is unwilling to clean up the mess it makes by taking in a reasonable amount of refugees so Europe is left to pick up the pieces as refugees can't exactly cross the Atlantic Ocean.
If any country needs to be invaded it's Saudi. But that won't happen. It's very sad, actually, that the United States allows Saudi to create enemies for itself.
