Topic: Which country or countries are USAmericans currently invading?
Anonymous A started this discussion 11 years ago#46,557
This war on terror is getting boring, who cares about unmanned drone strikes on non combatants of countries not officially at war with the US. It is the job of the USArmy to kill civilians and to torture the survivors and you simply can't do this from air strikes alone. They have a long and proud history of losing wars and then running away defeated while claiming victory and democracy etc.. At least they drove around shooting people from tanks while they were looking for WMDs and Osama instead of that brokeback camping trip to Vietnam they are so proud of.
Now USSRussia are using the same crappy tactics and just bombing Syrian rebels to support Assad, and pretending to not invade Ukraine etc.
If 'Murica doesn't invade a country properly for no good reason again I guess I'll have to support Russian military might because they give less fucks and are finally starting to kick ass again.

War is so not hot right now. I think we're gonna take a break for a decade or so. Sorry OP.

I think that war currently has a PR problem in the US.

I think it might be a long time before the American people support war again. Even some of the baby boomers are tired of it. I really hope we put some resources towards our own problems in the coming decades.

Bottom line is its a fraction of wot I wood have guessed it waz
Our ruling
The Facebook meme said that the United States has "invaded" 22 countries in the past 20 years. Using the clearest standard -- ground troops seizing foreign territory without the backing of international law - then the actual number of U.S. invasions in the past 30 years is three. An additional seven military actions that were supported by international law might perhaps be called "invasions" in a technical sense, even though they had official justification. The remaining examples cited by the meme aren’t even close to any conventional definition of "invasion." We rate the claim False.

america needs to stop attacking countries and start attacking space. What we need are orbiting star destroyers with stealth technology and some of these new cloaking techniques. put that fucker up there really publicly and load it with nukes and space marines and let the world watch it disappear. not only will it spur another fucking awesome space and technology race, but it would be fucking bad ass to the max!
a nuclear powered stealth space destroyer with hydrogen bombs. who would fuck with us then?

I'm not seeing it. Worship of the military and our "heroes" is reaching batshit insane levels. Every politician needs to be "tough" on foreign policy (read: bomb more Arabs) and Obama's bravely kicking the can on Afghanistan.
I'm so fucking sick of it. We need to just pull out and cut off all funding to everyone in the region and let the Saudis and Jews and Persians and Shiites and Sunnis and Putin and whoever else just fight it out and then maybe when the dust settles reestablish trade and relations with whoevers left.

Holy land - Using squeegee's solution all we have to do is make Mars inhabitable. Give it to Israel - Move all Jews in Israel to Mars and Nuke the Holy Land

You could be right. I have not kept up with politics lately to have a solid opinion.

Isn't it all about oil and the USD at this point?

Oil? Not anymore. Not since USA is producing a mass of the stuff and have driving the price so far down
It may even cause UK to give up on Falklands

What Syntax said. We can develop our shale oil and gas and with Canada's help we could make it. I think it would be well worth a couple years of $4-5 gas to be free of the Middle East.

That is in fact driving Russia bat shit crazy - However USA was on a fast track to solve its own oil problem ever since Arabs fucked us over with the embargo. Took forever and it may even fuck up our ground water which apparently has solutions
@613,873 (E)
Excuse me buttttt - I do not support USA holding on2 Guam or Puerto Rico and so many other places - UK has fucked over so much of Planet Earth and USA has done the same - IRAQ has to be one of the most horrid mistrakes USA has ever made.
Its just that UK has fucked up Massive amounts of Real Estate over Planet Earth

You could invade the moon. Those cowardly moon men won't put up a fight.

Thank you. We tried our best to invade and subjugate as many places as possible during the colonial times, I am glad you appreciate what hard work it was.
