  1. List of some of the countries that the US has attempted to overthrow since the Second World War. (* indicates successful ouster of that government): China 1949 to early 1960s Albania 1949-53 East Germany 1950s Iran 1953 * Guatemala 1954 * Costa Rica mid-1950s Syria 1956-7 Egypt 1957 Indonesia 1957-8 British Guiana 1953-64 * Iraq 1961 * 1963 * North Vietnam 1945-73 Cambodia 1955-70 * Laos 1958 *, 1959 *, 1960 * Ecuador 1960-63 * Congo 1960 * France 1965 Brazil 1962-64 * Dominican Republic 1963 * Cuba 1959 to present Bolivia 1964 * Indonesia 1965 * Ghana 1966 * Chile 1964-73 * Greece 1967 * Costa Rica 1970-71 Bolivia 1971 * Australia 1973-75 * Angola 1975, 1980s Zaire 1975 Portugal 1974-76 * Jamaica 1976-80 * Seychelles 1979-81 Chad 1981-82 * Grenada 1983 * South Yemen 1982-84 Suriname 1982-84 Fiji 1987 * Libya 1980s, 2011* Nicaragua 1981-90 * Panama 1989 * Bulgaria 1990 * Albania 1991 * Afghanistan 1980s * Somalia 1993 Yugoslavia 1999-2000 * Serbia 1999 * Ecuador 2000 * Afghanistan 2001 * Venezuela 2002 * Iraq 2003 * Haiti 2004 * Somalia 2007 to present Honduras 2009 * Libya 2011 * Syria 2012 Ukraine 2014 * Solomon Islands 2020 - present The only wars China has been in during that span of time have been the wars in Korea, India, and Vietnam and all three of which were instigated by the USA as well since it was the US that was the driving force behind those wars by prodding those countries to go to war with China or used those countries as battering rams against China. In the eyes of the US, China is a threat because China and Russia are the only two countries in the world that the US can't invade at will and can't destroy and subjugate to the US's domination and control any time the US feels like it. For that reason, the US sees both China and Russia as a threat to its global domination and that's why the US always wants to start a war with both of those countries by using nearby smaller countries located next to those two countries as proxies to fight a war with China and Russia so that the US doesn't have to fight a direct war with them and risk losing the lives of millions of American soldiers and civilians to those two countries that could fight back against the US's aggression. Ukraine is a proxy that the US uses to fight Russia, Taiwan is a proxy that the US uses to fight China. It has nothing to do with "human rights" or "democracy" for the US killed more people than any nation in the world since WW2 and the US violated the democracy and human rights of dozens of countries, way more than any country has ever done in the history of the world! I hope now people understand why the US feels the need to go thousands of miles outside of its own borders to stir up troubles for China and Russia. It was all part of the US's plan implemented a long time ago to "contain" and "control" the growth of any countries that have the capability to reach the status of the US in economic, military, or global status. Any countries that do well enough to have an economy that is within the vicinity of the US is considered as a threat to the US and must be destroyed, they don't have to do anything to the US for them to be considered a threat to the US. As US officials often say, they must be taken out "preemptively" before they might have the chance to post a threat to the US in some way.
