You seem to be disappointed that your assumptions are wrong. BTW, the Korean War was with the UN which the US is part of. Vietnam, peace treaty signed Iraq, another agreement. Afghanistan, trump signed that one. Last time I was in Grenada everything was cool. Panama was a US protectorate when we invaded. US citizens there.
Vietnam doesn't need to sign a trade deal next month. China doesn't want them to do it. But they'll sign with Biden.
Why? We are the largest market on earth.
There are no assumptions here. We did, in fact, invade those countries. You are giving America's stated justifications, which do not mean the invasions didn't happen.
Not justifications, results. If you want justifications I'd have to go through each one. In fact, I'm not sure you read it Panama at the time was not it's own country. I'm not sure Grenada is either.
Maybe you should like, shut the fuck up and read a book or something
Hey rudeboy, practice what you preach
What book would you suggest?
Ulysses- James Joyce
So, nothing to do with the actual topics being discussed, just a book that sounds like something a cool and worldly nerd would read?
This is not surprising, but it certainly is disappointing.
You just said book and I was stupid enough to give you one. I like. Now you want a specific type of book. Try See It Shoot It by Chris Fuller.
Silly me expecting you to have a relevant, on-topic book suggestion in this relevant and on-topic thread where your response to being told to read a book was "nuh uh YOU".
Congrats on coming up with something on the second try though. I might actually read that one, I have no interest in reading Joyce's horseshit ever again.
I appreciate snark when it has wit. But, you have none.
I don't hold you in high enough regard to muster any snark for you, that was just my honest opinion.
You are using vulgarity to hide your ignorance and it's not working,
"I'm not owned, you're owned!" I say as I slowly turn into a pickle
technically the "Ukraine War" is called a Special Military Operation by the Russian invaders, which makes it more justifiable
