We haven't invaded Ukraine, Syria, Libya (although there was an intervention there under R2P), Yemen, Venezuela, or Mexico. When we did invade Iraq it was met by condemnation even within the United States among others and it wasn't a mission to build empire. Afghanistan has been called the "good war" because we had a large host of nations supporting the mission (which is also the case with Iraq). Ukraine was simply a response by Russia to take territory because Putin didn't like how Ukrainian politics was heading. Did the Ukrainian people want closer ties with the West? Probably and I'm not going to be so naïve to say the West didn't play some sort of role in Ukrainian politics. Guess what, Russia did too. War was not merited in the case of Ukraine given its ultimate motive.
You keep saying Putin wants this or Putin wants that while also claiming to know what his "True" ultimate motive is.........
Your whole post is rediculous because your opinion is based soley on propoganda based assumptions which have no currency in the real world .
I ask you ....what would be your response if China commited a coup in Canada and then installed a pro-Chinese governnment in Canada that worked against the U.S. and it's interests and announced that they are pulling out of NATO and joining The BRIC.....
how would our military leaders and politicians respond to this .....?
