With our current leadership I think we would allow a Chinese naval base in California, let alone Canada. With the big guy getting his cut, we'd probably build it for them.Your crazy, we invaded Libya , Somalia, Syria For a lot less than that. We invaded Iraq , on false pretense, We invaded Afghanistan for something somebody else did. If we dont have a reason , we can make a one . Theres no way the US would tolerate a Chinese base anywhere close to the US . and they would be more than happy to go to war over it.
Ad for those other countries, we haven't invaded Libya since 1801, not in the way Russia invaded Ukraine. We may have removed some leaders that were actually killing US citizens, but we did not control territory.
Afghanistan was harboring the guy who orchestrated 9/11. Whether they were in on it from the start, or just accessories after the fact, that is certainly an act of war.
Somalia isn't a functional state. It's just a series of gangs fighting each other. You can't invade territory if nobody really owns it.
We invaded Iraq in 1991, after they had invaded their peaceful neighbor, and with full backing of nearly every country on earth. We fucked around for a decade trying to give Hussein a chance to straighten up and fly right. That was a mistake. We should have finished him off in '92. But we never left, so 2003 was not a new invasion, it was just the beginning of the endgame of the '91 invasion.
Syria was attacking US assets in Iraq. Also an act of war.
How many attacks were there by Ukrainians on actual Russian territory prior to the invasion ?
