More recently they did the same to Afghanistan and Iraq, and then once they invaded they even tortured the POW's, murdered the POW's AND raped them as well. Sound like a nation that prefers "trade and peace" to you?
There was a justification for the war in Afhanistan, the war itself was a fail.
And it wasnt "The US" which invaded Afghanistan, it was NATO. The US called out "Causa Bellis" after 9\11 which means, that if a NATO member is attacked, every single other NATO member is commited by the "Causa Bellis" article in the NATO agreement to declare war against the aggressor.
And one cannot compare these two different wars, they took place in two different eras under different political circumstances, in a completly different context.
And I dont see how this supposedly means that the US is ready to fo to war with North Korea?
How the US engages in foreign policie with one country doesn`t say how it will engage into foreign policie with another.
And the US, which is a democracy "suprise" has changed it`s approach on foreign policie several times, sometimes within a administartion (political U-turn).
Unlike North Korea, which has been "trolling" the same bullshit for 50 years.
