    Invading neighbors isn’t cool, no matter who does it

        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?

      But what if a country is invading another country so they will stop invading a country, blocking the attempt by the invaded and invading country to build a revive machine that takes up exactly the same space as it and the invaded country combined to revive hitler?

        The other dude being a douche doesn’t make invasion correct.

        Peacekeeping and diplomatic pressure are different.
