Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Thailand, Laos, Dominican Republic, Cambodia, Cyprus, Libya, Somalia, Pakistan, and Yemen. Just to name a few countries the US has attacked or invaded in one manner or another in the latter half of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century.

I'm sure in your world the US had all the justification in the world for being the aggressor in all of these.

After all, the US saved the world from Iraq and all the weapons of mass destruction they didn't have and weren't planning to use. (And if they did have any, they acquired them from the US.)

Vietnam: we came to the defense of the southern Vietnamese who wanted help in stopping the spread of Communism (which spread to Laos). That's hardly an "invasion."

Iraq: The first war (1991) was to defend and rescue Kuwait from Saddam's invasion. We stopped kicking their asses when they were beaten back to Iraq's border. The second war (2003-) was about repeat UN violations left in place from the first war and threats of WMDs with the intelligence that was gathered by an international coalition. It was/is a broad coalition of forces, not just the US. But it was a mistake in hindsight.

The DR was in the middle of a civil war and in turmoil.

Libya (the first attack in 1986) was in retaliation for terrorist bombing at a disco in Berlin. The second attack on Libya I didn't quite understand, like most things under Obama. No comment there.

Pakistan is self-evident with harboring terrorists and lying about it (where we got Bin Laden). 'Nuff said on the justification for that.

In any event, it's quite apparent we don't quite see eye-to-eye on a REASON for each of these "hostilities" as you call them. And I sure don't see America running propaganda like showing a video of nuclear missiles blowing up American cities.

Thank you for putting Tayb in his place. I swear that kid must be 13 years old and had his head filled with anti-American crap at some public school system.

Of course he's not the only one who basically isn't even looking at the situation, but instead using nothing more than poorly placed moral relativism to make an argument.

Seriously, you're all idiots. Any of you who think "Duur American dun invaded people in the past, so why can't Communists have nukes!!??"

That's literally how you come off here. No joke. You sound EXACTLY like that.




*awkward silence*

too soon?

Amen brother




Japan - Firebombed into oblivion and nukes dropped.

Philippines - was liberated so Japan could be steamed rolled.



Iraq - Ummm Oil, Influennce? Mean anything to you?

Kuwait - As above



Reading and learning does a mind good.

Seriously are you that naive?
