In any case, when was the last time the U.S. invaded another country for the expressly stated purpose of permanently annexing its territory?
Take your complaint up with the author.
Wow, so you love the wonders Bush/Cheney performed with Iraq?
Or is pointing out their invasion denigrating the US?
NATO was involved in bombing Serbia and Libya even though NATO is a defensive entity and even though Serbia and Libya didn’t attack any NATO members and other things like these to see if they see the irony of attacking Putin’s pokiciez but not challenging the warmongering and invasions of others.
Is pointing that out denigrating the US or are you an Clinton/Obama/Bush bot?
In the end, you have to be against thus unending military interventionist or you are a neocon.
