Exposed: The Obama Invasion of Syria

2. China aided the cambodia with arms and supplies during Vietnam war, Cambodian civil war, and Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia. But AFAIK there were no intrusion nor threat of intrusion of Chinese forces into Cambodia, so there was no intervention. There was an actual invasion of China into Vietnam in the same period in response to vietnamese invasion of Cambodia, but we've counted that already.

I know that the Chinese invaded Vietnam after Vietnam invaded Cambodia but in my oppinion the aid given to the Khmer Rouge is a military intervention. Military intervention does not simply mean an invasion or a boming. Giving arms to a side in a war that seeks to achieve goals in line with yours is also a form of military intervention.

If giving material support to one side of an conflict counts as intervention than the US intervened in many more than 36 countries. I calculating the 36 countries and 48 interventions of US by including only direct involvement of armed forces in foreign territory or explicit threat of imminent major armed attack on foreign territory.
