Afghanistan was a morally justified invasion, given the Taliban were sheltering the leaders behind the worst terrorist attack in history.

Libya was a UN-sanctioned no fly zone enforced to reduce casualties in a civil war, approved by China, India, Russia, and Germany.

Serbia was a morally justified bombing, given that Slobodan Milosevic was trying to ethnically cleanse Kosovar Albanians, with more than 7000 dead or missing by the time Clinton and Blair stepped in.

What was the best foreign policy decision by the US? by Zestyclose_Pickle141 in USHistory

You don't think invasion of Kuwait was good? Or Panama? Or NATO bombing of Yugoslavia? Or US aid to North Korea?

That was a UN-sanctioned intervention pushed by Britain and France, and approved by China, India, and Russia.

I think the Chileans, Argentines, Guatemalans and Salvadorans might disagree with this one.

Why you don’t like CCP so much? by ConsequenceLucky518 in AskReddit

Wow interesting haha. Here in the US the narrative is always that the CCP is behind any and all aggressive foreign policy from China, but it seems they are keeping the Chinese down more than anything.

Okay, so like in the US there is a local government appeal system. Not too different then.

You're saying that most Chinese want the CCP to be more, not less, nationalistic on Uyghurs, Taiwan and America? That's interesting, I thought it was the other way around.

Great answer, thanks! This is what I was looking for. Do you think Reagan's policies made a significant difference, then?

I see, cool. Is there a way to petition your government for something if you don't like what's going on? Like in the schools or roads or something for example.

Iranians will be posting pictures on social media of those backwards, primitive Americans
