- tptacek 10y agoFor the last 60 years or so, few of the world's worst dictatorships have. In fact, the worst instance of the USA invading another country was sparked by the rare instance in which a terrible dictatorship did attempt to invade another country. Few would praise the Union of Myanmar, for instance, despite its hermetic demeanor towards the rest of the world.
- iand 10y agoTrying to work out which invasion you are thinking of. Neither Iraq nor Afganistan were triggered by dictators invading other countries. Vietnam was triggered by a dictatorial invasion but the US were essentially invited in. There have been lots of minor invasions in between but I'm struggling to place which one you mean.

- tptacek 10y agoGulf War 2 was a continuation of Gulf War 1, which was prompted by Hussein's invasion of Kuwait --- in which Iraq annexed the entire country of Kuwait. I'm choosing my words carefully when I say this was the worst instance of the USA invading another country. Gulf War 1 was justified, if any war can be justified --- you don't get a much clearer casus belli than invading and annexing an ally. Gulf War 2 was a disaster of world-historical proportions.
