      Sure. I won’t move the goalposts too much here, and will accept that I was overly specific,… but I legitimately would describe that as separate from an invasion, and instead call that peacekeeping or something else.

      Invasion to me seems like imperialist action to further political or territorial goals.

        You should probably look up what Trujillo got up to, since you admit some actions justify intervention.

        Like, for example, a CIA sponsored coup and assassination. But obviously they’re the good guys, right?

          i don’t know if this is a hot take but assassinations are better than invasions

            Unless the assassination, for random example, starts a civil war, because the people the imperial power wanted in charge ended up not having enough support to stay in charge.

            Or if it starts WW1.

          No, the CIA are not the “good guys”, why would you say that?
