Really, most times somebody fucked with the US and thought they wouldn't get raped.

WW1, WW2, Korea, Panama, Bosnia, Iraq.

A lot of US military history is

>what are you going to do, stab me?

on a national level.

What did Panama and Bosnia do to threaten the US?

Iraq invaded Kuwait, which was a threat to the international oil supply.

During the Cold War the USA had plans to go nuclear if the USSR had done that.

Sorry dude, I misread your post. Obviously Panama and Bosnia are not Iraq.

We're kind of nutty, aren't we? As a nation, I mean. Moreso than most.

Panama tried to seize the Panama canal from us IIRC, even though the US built it for them

Bosnia just happened to exist during Clinton's impeachment trial, so it'd coincidentally get bombed anytime a new piece of evidence emerged showing Clinton had obstructed justice.

Iraq was also bombed a lot during the trial as well.

Panama arrested US soldiers who were there guarding the canal.

In Bosnia, the Serbs started storming UN compounds and shooting at NATO jets.

There have been more than one round of crisis over the canal.

During the 70s, Torrijos was literally hours away from ordering commandos to blow up the water locks.

REEEE KUWAIT IS IRAQI CLAY IMPERIALISTS GET OUT

> the US built it for them
it didn´t, the channel zone was US territory

>In Bosnia, the Serbs started storming UN compounds and shooting at NATO jets.
Hmmmmm I wonder why

Basically

>Croats intervene because they were on Mr. Bones's wild ride before Bosnia was, and they hate Serbs
>UN intervenes to stop Serb militias, Croat militias, and Bosnians from killing each other
>Serbia goes "fuck you, that's my clay nigger"
>after several years of "let Europe handle Europe's problems" Clinton gets tired of all the embarrassing CNN headlines and starts bombing the shit out of the Bosnian Serbs
>peace

And then two years later Kosovo decided to get into the independence game and the cycle started all over again.

I already said the canal was ours, Pedro

>Barbary Pirates

To those who've heard the Marine's hymn "from the halls of montezuma to the shores of tripoli" that line was not added in because of WW2.

The Battle of Hastings

>Croats intervene because they were on Mr. Bones's wild ride before Bosnia was, and they hate Serbs
You mean because they want a nice piece of that Bosnian clay for themselves

Eastern Europeans sure do like to kill each other.

Well, I mean, Western Europeans did too at one point, but they stopped and the Eastern ones didn't.

So?

I wonder why there were NATO jets in Bosnia
