The second article is a little more newsy because it looks at some present-day applications from the same perspective. What duties do Christians have towards the Christians being massacred in Syria and elsewhere right now?
“Involvement does not mean military,” contended Perkins. “I don’t believe we should be sending our troops everywhere. But, as you pointed out, there are other means.”“I would be in the front line of arguing that the neoliberal interventionism that had so possessed the United States over the course of the last 40 or 50 years — it has proved itself to be unworkable,” Mohler granted. “Our massive investments of blood and treasure all over the world, in causes that we declared won, only to have them lost again, are a grave warning against believing that we can just make our will [happen] wherever we want it around the world.”
Sadly -- tragically -- accurate as a pragmatic assessment of the last decades.

I'd like to see more efforts to admit genuine refugees as immigrants. That goal was so watered down, distorted, and discredited by the insane "asylum" policies of recent years that the public may be turned off for a long time, but I continue to believe it's the one thing we have in our power to do whenever a society goes crazy somewhere in the world and starts murdering its political enemies.
One of the many negative side effects of the Biden open border was that the flood made it harder for real refugees to actually get help, I strongly suspect.
I suspect you are correct in this.
I think the US has a particular duty when we armed, trained, and / or supported the militants who, after winning, begin to persecute religious minorities.
