In the "survival of the fittest" environment created by rationing, I would be more concerned about the comfort of myself and those I care about than those in a distant country. So yes, that would "harm them" and "help me" but I feel no remorse doing so in a situation I did not create.
As far as words rather than actions, no. I would become more vehement in my disagreement with the current administraton, and likely be active (action) in removing our troops or our Commander in Chief, whichever came first. It is not close enough to home to drag me out of my lull of complacency -- yet. A ration or a draft, that would be enough.
