The intervention of Washington sometimes has unexpected consequences, admitted the incumbent President Barack Obama in an interview with TV channel HBO.
According to him, military assistance is necessary in cases, when it comes to the protection of American citizens from the threat posed by terrorist groups such as the banned in Russia “Islamic state” and al-Qaida.
“Around the world, bad things happen, our instinct tells us that we need to do something. These are the times when the intervention is important. However, there have been cases where unforeseen consequences without intent lead to more problems. To determine what can lead to certain actions, is one of the most difficult challenges facing any President,” – said the American leader.
In addition, Obama stressed that the United States is very important to have allies to work in the international arena to maintain “the basic world order.”
