Canada? I can't find a reference to where we've "invaded, bombed, couped, supported dictators, supported terrorists and/or interfered in elections" in Canada since 1900. Nor Greenland, though we did put nuclear weapons there without being clear about it, if that counts.
What's France doing in red? That's like the ONE invasion for which people had no complaints π More nazi punching and less overthrow of democratic governments, please.
Sure, fuck America. But also, fuck North Korea, you know?
Comeon guys. Let's be reasonable and find the common ground. I mean yeah, pff, whatever fuck Hitler I get it. But seriously. Fuck the Jews, you know?
same applies to china, btw.
USA is a threat to world peace.
i object to this because the phrasing "invasion" still makes it out like the DPRK are the bad guys
it was a civil war, the lead up to the civil war seeing the South have a police dictatorship supported by the U.S. which did literally every awful thing the u.s. has accused the DPRK of doing, including killing people for the wrong fucking haircut
notice how literally no american ever talks about the U.S. civil war with "the North invaded the South"
and they're the good guys because they "ended slavery"*
*terms and conditions apply
notice how literally no american ever talks about the U.S. civil war with βthe North invaded the Southβ
"War of Northern Aggression" anyone?
Eeeh, plenty of American civil war revisionists go for that argument actually, it was even a major theme of the ken burns documentary
I remember seeing a "Yakko's World, but with every country the US has bombed since WWII" and was sad to see they forgot the first one in the song, "America".

(Any other times?)
I'm surprised that there are countries we haven't bombed π
Working hard at it tho
Hoping UK is next.
Technically the UK should be red since canada was a british colony. But the map is lacking in general (like hungary and bulgaria not being red)
hmm ... sorry for being so critical. But where does this qualifiy as a meme? It is more like a "straw man" for politics discussion. That's what you want, right?
You're right the bottom image is wrong a country can't invade itself.
Also that is not what a straw man is.
There is so much context missing here it is crazy. This is such a shameless use of manipulative statistics, it would only convince the dumbest of people of its argument.
What do you think a 'statistic' is?
I can't tell if your question is a poorly veiled critique of my comment, or if you genuinely don't see the presentation of data in the post. The image literally has a grouping of data points conveying a narrative; that's statistics. A collection of quantitative data. Just because its bad statistics doesn't mean it isn't.
Okay, I'll bite, what do you think is missing or how could this information be made to be accurate?
Why is Ukraine not red on the bottom map?
Russia should be red for "supporting dictators", too.
Oh I just noticed that we only count invasions for DPRK instead of all the other things.
The dictators that the USA supports are people who don't have popular support or a pre-existing legal framework they derive their power from. They are governors working as proxies for the USA, deriving their authority from the USAs guns. It doesn't just mean people you don't like. Russia's "democracy" is as legitimate as most European liberal democracies. The DPRK has never propped up a dictator, they don't have the power to.
