@MostlyHarmless We tried that 150 years ago. I'm a couple of blocks down from a former prison for Union officer POWs, and there's a nearby island with a park where they held the enlisted men.
We won the war, then came an insurgency, Grant did what he could to fight it. Then Hayes surrendered to the insurgents essentially to prevent one of them from becoming President.
As long as they don't decide nation building is just too much trouble and leave, just as the #ChristoFascists are surging back into power.
