Should the US Invade This Island?

[ElNono]

The civilized world has a spectrum of options other than invasion to deal with human rights issues. Normal practice is sanctions or trade embargoes, putting pressure on leadership to enforce a movement away from those practices. (And we both know that when the US invades Syria, Iraq, etc., it's not because their leaders are killing their own people... that's just part of the PR campaign to justify military action.)

I wouldn't punish the North Sentinelese for protecting their island, or for any of their internal practices. But they don't know any better, and my questions are more about whether we have any moral responsibility to help them get there, or if we just let them do their thing no matter what it is.

I think it's more about giving them a patch of land, like the US does with tribes here. What laws apply in there is up to India, so that's an internal problem of them.

I don't think there's any embargo/diplomatic pressure that's going to work with the island itself, as they're fully isolated and autonomous, it would have to go through India. Invasion would be the only direct option, that's why I brought it up.

At any rate, if superpowers would be actually interested in surveying the island from afar, they have the satellites and tools to do it.

"The leader of the Christian missionary group that helped train him,

Kansas City-based All Nations,

refrained on Tuesday from saying that she regrets sending Chau on what would be his fatal mission,

or that she might have prevented it."

So they prepared him to go even though they knew going to that island was illegal.

But did anyone at All Nations look into why it was illegal? That’s the key question.

But considering all the evidence, it cannot be stated enough—

Chau had no defensible reason to even be over there.

He was trespassing on an island that was off limits for the very survival of a tribe that has no genetic immunity.
