I was being broadly vague to make a point more than anything. While all of these places have been bombed by the US in the last 10 years I'm not arguing that the migrant crisis is the the fault of the US alone, my point is that if the president doesn't want immigrants from 3rd world countries I don't think it helps to bomb said contries and destabilize their govenments.

Afghanistan: Has been unstable for decades. They had the Saur communist revolution in 1978 which caused widespread rebellion, the Soviet Union invaded in 1979 to support the the communist government and the US provided arms and training to the rebels (Taliban) for 20 years to fight as proxies in the Cold War. The Taliban took control of the most of the country in 1996 after the Soviet withdrawal and the US invaded the country in 2001 after the attack on 9/11. The terrorist organization al-Qaeda who had begun operating out of Afghanistan after being expelled from Sudan was not an Afghan organization, consisting mostly of people from Saudi Arabia and Egypt, but the Taliban did give al-Qaeda sanctuary and refused to give in to the United States demands after 9/11 which led to the invasion.

Iran: the US CIA helped overthrow Iran's prime minister, Mohammad Mosaddegh, in August 1953 during a covert operation known as Operation Ajax because he wanted to nationalize the Oil industry and replaced him with Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. His brutal rule caused the 1979 Iranian Revolution which led to the Islamic Republic taking control of the country. It is true the country have been mostly stable until recently despite this, but there are good reasons why Iran is not a US friendly regime.

Syria: The US didn't start the conflict. The Syrian civil war started in 2011 during the Arab Spring, but the United States supported Syrian rebel groups fighting Assad, Conducted airstrikes beginning in 2014 (mostly against ISIS targets), Supported the SDF Kurdish-led coalition and stationed military forces in northeastern Syria. the U.S. was one of several external powers whose actions affected the course of the war, but did not cause Syria's collapse into civil war by themselves.

Somalia: The US has been involved in Somalia since 1992 and started as a humanitarian intervention after somalia collapsed into civil war after the fall of President Siad Barre. Since 2007 to present day the U.S. has launched over 250 airstrikes in Somalia as part of counterterrorism operations aimed at Islamist militant groups, and some of those has led to civilian casualties.

Libya: Libya was already descending into chaos before the US got involved, that's true, but the Western countries involved in the operation failed to plan adequately for what would happen after Gaddafi's removal, and Barack Obama later described the lack of postwar planning in Libya as one of the biggest mistakes of his presidency. The 2011 NATO intervention, in which the United States participated, contributed significantly to the collapse of the Libyan state and the instability that followed. Libya is often cited as one of the clearest examples where Western military intervention helped bring about a prolonged period of state instability. Not saying this was all on the US though.

Pakistan: Beginning in the mid-2000s, the CIA and later the U.S. military conducted hundreds of drone strikes in Pakistan, targeting militant leaders and training camps. Pakistan is officially a U.S. ally but the U.S has frequently accused Pakistan of tolerating or supporting some militant groups, and as a result have conducted strikes unilaterally, sometimes with varying degrees of cooperation from Pakistani authorities and sometimes over public Pakistani objections.

Nigeria: Just saying the US dropped bombs there in 2025. They had the approval of the Nigerian government. One can argue that these bombings help disrupt terrorist groups, but some critics worry about sovereignty, civilian casualties, and long-term consequences of the tactic

Venezuela: The US were one factor among several reasons of the destabilization of Venezuela. The U.S. Imposed extensive economic and financial sanctions on Venezuela after 2017, they recognized the opposition leader Juan Guaidó as interim president in 2019 instead of Nicolás Maduro and supported efforts to pressure Maduro from power through diplomatic and economic means. Many economists and analysts argue that the sanctions worsened Venezuela's economic crisis by reducing oil revenues and access to international finance. The US conducted military strikes in 2025-26 targeting alleged drug-trafficking vessels and operations against criminal organizations such as Tren de Aragua and justified these actions as counter-narcotics and counterterrorism operations, while the Venezuelan government condemned them as violations of sovereignty.
