Chemistry / Why does Carbon Dioxide not support combustion or burn itself?

I know it doesn't. Just wanna know why CO2 doesn't support combustion, though to remind you it does burn readily with burning Mg, Na and K.
So my question is why it doesn't do the same with other elements and/or compounds.
Please explain the Thermodynamics as well as the mechanistic part of the question.
And am expecting a very chemist-type answer.
