What an incredible take.

I cannot possibly think of a US intervention that went well for the receiving end.

Germany, Japan and the post WW2 order in question are probably the best candidates.

USA did not intervent into 2014 Crimea annexation and here we are.

And don't forget Ukraine gave up nukes for security assurances from USA, UK and rusia.

As we can see now, it was a mistake. Declaration means little

Off the top of my head apartheid in South Africa, ethnic cleansing of Albanians and genocide in Serbia, WWII... maybe indirectly, end of oppressive horrible USSR where I was born
