It's a horrible cost to benefit ratio because spending any amount of money to make an enemy you didn't have beforehand is a negative value proposition.
Like, I could spend $1,000 to cripple my neighbor, but why would I do that? We aren't enemies, but he certainly would be my enemy afterwards!
I would have in a sense paid to make my own position worse off.

I agree with you. I'm not justifying being involved at all.
