The U. S. embarked on imperialism as far back as 1823 with the Monroe Doctrine. Even before then if one counts colonial genocide of indigenous people.
The Spanish-American and Mexican-American wars were pure imperialism.
The U. S. colluded with European powers to colonize and carve up Africa in the early 20th century.
WWI was about support for British imperialism. So was its support at that time for the future destruction of Palestine.
After WWII, the U. S. decided to be the hegemonic global super power. The list you shared represents actual military operations/invasions. But it doesn't include election tampering in other countries, CIA-engineered coups, special operations, proxy wars, or sanctions (sieges), which are acts of war designed to inspire "regime change".
And, whenever another nation tries to bolster it's defensive capabilities to deter American threats, we see finger pointing and alarmed cries "Look! That country is aggressive! It's threatening us!!!"
How is it self defense when we attack small countries on the other side of the world who have never harmed or threatened us?
In the end, the U. S. is guilty of massive war crimes and crimes against humanity.
I am American citizen and I love my country. But that doesn't mean that I have to shut off my brain and conscience in support of mass murder for profit. I condemn U. S. government brutality in the strongest terms.

Um, we didn't invade China during the Korean war; that's why it's "the Korean war" and not "World War 3". Also, whether you count them at the they time happen or in the present day, they total up to less than a fifth of the world population, EVEN IF YOU COUNT CHINA. That doesn't affect the morality, but the dishonesty doesn't say anything good about your argument.
That said- they're almost uniformly awful. It's not exactly fair to compare the South American "your legitimately elected government is a little too pro-Communist; down it goes" with the Yugoslavian "Yeah, this 'genocide' crap needs to stop", but from OUR perspective, it's spending lives any money like they were going out of style, and rarely accomplishing anything worthwhile with them, anyway.
The UN needs to be dismantled, and the US needs to bring every single one of our troops home. Canada wasn't even capable of shooting down a balloon. Let the rest of the world fend for themselves. There needs to be an embargo on all imports into America. Bozo Biden spent 10% of the Covid relief money on Americans. I can't believe it's March, and he hasn't been impeached. We have the ability to make all the products we need. Yes, it will cost more, but it won't involve slave labor. Americans pretend to hate slavery, but they love slavery. Look up the little children in Africa digging in the mud to get the materials for electric car batteries.
War and violence is ingrained in humanity. Tell me a year in which humans existed, and I can find you at least 3 wars going on. War happens, murder happens, atrocities happen. Humanity is just a self terminating meat grinder.

I've started to accept that America is evil, that's the reality and I believe the US will collapse in our lifetime we will be eliminated, this country had plenty of blessings, because the ancestors that founded our land were close to god, considering there's no prophecies that speak of our country in the Bible and seeing how my country is right now, guilty of the national sin of idolatry, ingratitude, and indifference, they are delusional and confused about the importance of reproduction, worshipping evil, mocking God, now I see that China which is mentioned in the Bible to have an army of 200 million, has just found a deposit of gold that is worth 3 trillion, I think 500 tons or something like that, either ways I think I see what's happening and I wouldn't be surprised if God turned his back on this country.
I like how the list starts after WWII. I can say that the average Amercan is sick and tired of all the interventions we've done. They weren't popular when they happened and they aren't popular now.
However, we have tried time and time again to keep to ourselves and let the world deal with their own problems. But time and time again the world's problems spilled over onto our shores. So unfortunately those days of isolationism are long gone and are never coming back. Better to fight terror in the East than fight it in the Midwest.I think it's a lot about control and power. A good number of those were to stop one group from over throwing one that we favored or supported.
Some of it is about good/bad.
The underlying human emotions are... fear, greed.
The global power always has these problems and it's not good.
Conservatives think that killing people (other than unborn children) is just fine. Liberals initially. take a dim view of this but given money they come around to it. Welcome to the United States of Corruption.
I WANT ALL THEIR GOD-DAMNED OIL! BOMB EM FLAT AND TAKE THEIR OIL!
They don't mind it just as long as they are the ones doing it but God forbid anyone attacks them and then they are up in arms but if they attack Iraq without provocation from Iraq then all of a sudden it's liberation, if you ask me the US needs to be invaded and liberated from white supremacy.
Sometimes Jdam has to be dropped but a lot of wars and certain skirmishes could have been highly avoided. I blame world policing war mongering politicians.
I'm still happy that I can freely express opposition to government polices. Although that is starting to end with the leftist party fascism.
It would have been nice if Europe moved to mars and didn’t have any interactions with the world at all.
Ironically the hitlist stopped in 2016.
These guys don’t like brown and black peoples
