Just off the top of my head:

China in Tibet
Iraq in Kuwait
USA in Grenada, Nicaragua, Iraq, and Afghanistan

Those pretty much all happened in my lifetime. Invasions still happen. Even if some of them are justified, they're invasions.

I'm not counting the Balkans crap from the 90s because there were so many chefs in that pot of soup that you can't really say only one country invaded. I'm also not counting all the civil wars in the last 100 years where one side asked an outside party to join in the fun (because you're not technically invading when you're invited).

Justification = reason

Reason =/= random

Who says we'll be the ones engaging? Our forces are spread relatively thin as it is. It might not be our choice.

That still leaves China in Tibet and Iraq in Kuwait, and according to what I hear from people who disagree with my politics, a lot of our choices are arguable, so...

I still get like 3/4 credit on that report.

Anything can be justified. No historical invasion was random, and it's pretty clear that what Krizen (and Jubber) meant was "invasions that really shouldn't have happened given how civilized the sides participating appeared to be."

If destruction exists, we must destroy everything.

I haven't actually been reading the thread I just saw a clear error in reading comprehension.

Around the same time our GDP is the same as Greece's was.

Like 140% I think.

We'll be at 70% Debt-to-GDP by the end of the year, according to the CBO. Unfortunately, they don't see that number getting any lower. :(

your economy is definitely not getting better

If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.

Greece has more fundamental problems that the US does not. Corruption is a way of life for those people, and a lot of the issues they're dealing with today are the same issues they have struggled with since the days of Solon the Lawgiver.
