Which two? Mali is a few hundred troops assisting the government. Not sure if that qualifies as an invasion.
Vietnam the most recent in 1979 and lasted for two weeks in response to the Vietnamese government attempting to annex Cambodia and Laos, both of which were Chinese allies.
- gok 8y agoOk so you consider keeping the Khmer Rouge in power a "good reason?"
- mikeash 8y agoInvading a country as part of a strategy to support an ally is a lot better than just going in to fuck shit up and make things worse.
- gok 8y agoI assume you're talking about the Iraq war? You don't think that was about supporting allies? (Saudi Arabia and Israel) (To be clear, I don't think any of these are good reasons)
- mikeash 8y agoNo, I don't. Iraq didn't pose any sort of threat to those allies. We made things way worse for them and it was entirely foreseeable. We invaded for some combination of stupid political reasons and revenge.
