    Yes every instance was totally bad. The U.S. should’ve done nothing to counter USSR and their dominoes across the world. US should’ve just let every country fall into an authoritarian USSR influenced country.

    Obviously, I don’t blindly think every war was good, such as Bush era Iraq. However, defending Kuwait was 100% defensible in Gulf War.

      The point I’m trying to make is America likes war a lot. China hasn’t fought a war in 50 years. It’s hard to take Americans seriously when they accuse someone of being aggressive.

        The US has solo hegemony and super power status that has been challenged but never overtaken. US/NATO (for what’s left of it) is the strongest alliance on the planet. My point is other countries are generally hesitant to start conflict due to US policing and involvementpolicing.
