You know, of course, that was supposed to be the case with the Iraqis and the Afghans, right? I guess that if Mexico invaded the US, you wouldn’t fight back, would you? I recall the US fought back when Canada and Britain invaded us. I like to assume that other people are just like us, if they are human.
It’s different because North America is a strategic interest unlike the Middle East and Ukraine

What, an exception for Murkan exceptionalism? I think it is not different, invasion is invasion, force is force and murder is murder.

I'm not talking about morality
I'm talking about strategy and efficacy
edit: yes to an exception for American exceptionalism
Obama is wrong, America is exceptional

Ah… yes. Then what Israel, Turkey and Russia are doing is perfectly fine, right? They are acting strategically and with efficacy. It is just that so many bodies are being piled up, Living, breathing human beings are being magically transformed into piles of dead meat. Right, I understand that very well.
reply
Russian actions are justified because they warned the west about NATO expansion in Ukraine and Georgia.
Turkey is complicated.
Israel is far from perfect. They need to negotiate a ceasefire. Same with Ukraine/Russia
reply
Yes, these things are always complicated, just ask the Afghans about that. Also ask them what the response is every last time it happens.
reply
Complicated because there are competing interests.
I am not familiar with the situation in Afghanistan. I do know that migrants from Afghanistan are a problem in Europe
reply
If there are people there are always competing interests, that is not a reason or an excuse, it is a rational. Historically, every time Afghanistan has been invaded, they fight back. The took on the British Empire at its height twice. Once they sent the lone survivor back to India (now Pakistan) after killing every man and horse in the whole expeditionary force that was sent, to tell the English not to do it again. The Moguls, Russians, and Americans didn’t conquer them, either. I suppose China is up next to meet their woodchipper.
Your assumption is utopian
We are all part of the human race!
reply
No, my assumption is a hard earned observation of various peoples around the world through personal contact. How about yours. No, we are not all part of the human race. Haven’t you looked to the skies recently? Do you think all of them are drones, and other craft made by humans? I don’t.

I was being sarcastic about the "human race"
My assumptions are based on my personal experiences also
