Yes, the US which is the largest drone striker in the world and where it is explicitly legal for the president to kill US citizens without trial went in with a moral imperative because of air strikes.
Even if the Spanish sabotaged the USS Maine, the Gulf of Tonkin wasn't made up, and WMD were in Iraq, the cassi belle are not the structural reasons why the invasions happened. You're being intentionally credulous because you think US empire benefits you. It doesn't.
Yeah to be honest I'm a bit done with your mixture of fact and deliberate fiction to try to assist your ideology.

There are plenty of discussion points for you without needing to sprinkle in fiction for good measure.
So did you actually read those links lmao? Because if you did you have to acknowledge you were wrong about what you've said in this thread and I was mostly correct according to your links.
Did you actually read what I wrote?
Yes, that is literally why I brought it up. Is there some subtext to this response I'm missing?
