‘ere. In case you never knew or had just conveniently forgotten:
The United States engaged in forty-six military interventions from 1948–1991, from 1992–2017 that number increased fourfold to 188.

The United States has been involved in many military and clandestine interventions throughout its history. These interventions are done through well-coordinated military operations in response to developing situations or through clandestine operations; intelligence or military actions carried out in such a way that the operations go unnoticed by the general population or specific enemy forces.
The 19th century formed the roots of United States interventionism, which was largely driven by economic opportunities in the Pacific and Spanish-held Latin America. The early decades of the 20th century saw a number of interventions in Latin America by the U.S. government. And since then the United States has continued to intervene in foreign countries through bomb attacks, sabotage and attempted regime change. (Victor Mochere)

A very good listing, sadly not up to date owing to the delicious William “Billy the Kid” Blum being dead.

A rather charitably biased version of it. And misses the meddling with the Uranian “Revolution” of 2014 and the famous Victoria “Fuck the EU!” Nuland/Geoffrey Pyatt’s little inspirational exchange:

(Which has to be true, since even the Holy Guardian reported it, innit?)
Voila! The rest/more of the same you can look it up for yourselves...si le coeur vous en dit.

Excellent though provocative work. Yet the U.S. is treated with different standards even though some of these wars were clear, unprovoked acts of aggression. If every military act is considered, it's in the hundreds. In fact, the USA has been involved in a war for 227 years out of its 245 year existence. :( Stay well!

Indeed, darling. Hypocrisy is endless and effective, as it's purposely engineered from the "winning side". Oh well... :-(
You stay well (and sane!) , too.

I suppose it's part of the "winner take all" concept!

Ukrainian entry into Nato is the brightest of all red lines for the Russian elite (not just Putin). In more than two and a half years of conversations with key Russian players, from knuckle-draggers in the dark recesses of the Kremlin to Putin’s sharpest liberal critics, I have yet to find anyone who views Ukraine in Nato as anything other than a direct challenge to Russian interests. [Pursuing this strategy] would create fertile soil for Russian meddling in Crimea and eastern Ukraine.

“Biden, last November “ decided to proceed with Nato enlargement – starting the process of incorporating Ukraine – in the half-hope, half-belief that this would check Russia’s encroachment at the borders of Donbass and Crimea proved disastrously wrong. This can’t be admitted in public, but Nato leaders know it and so do the leaders of China, India, Vietnam, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Cuba and the other countries that abstained from criticising Russia at the UN. Their combined populations amount to half of humanity.” —-Tariq Ali, LRB.

PS. Still, you say that too loud and you get lotsa shtick.

Although sometimes I wonder if Mr. B. really meant it (the expansion of NATO to include Ukraine) as said country has often been described by USA big shots as "a basket case".
