I'm sorry, but what's the track record for 'foreign intervention to fight imperialism' after WWII?

I'll tell you: disaster. Every, single, one, western or not.

I find this:

Russia invades the nazi puppet government of the US empire to prevent further empire NATO imperialism and reestablish the Ukrainian peoples proper government

So ironic it goes from being painful to hilarious to painful again. Somehow, this one liberation war, among all in the last 100 years, will be the justified and successful one. Like how Americans were so happy being stuck in what was supposed to be a quick 'liberation war' in Vietnam. To quote Johnson:

Why are these realities our concern? Why are we in South Vietnam? We are there because we have a promise to keep. Since 1954 every American president has offered support to the people of South Vietnam. We have helped to build, and we have helped to defend. Thus, over many years, we have made a national pledge to help South Vietnam defend its independence. And I intend to keep that promise…

...But yeah. Oh, this one is the exception if we keep going, sure. Nods head and pats back. We'll talk again in a few years...
