(1). Benjamin Norton, “US launched 251 military interventions since 1991, and 469 since 1798”, Multipolista, 13 September 2022: https://multipolarista.com/2022/09/13/us-251-military-interventions-1991/ .

Quote: “The United States launched at least 251 military interventions between 1991 and 2022. This is according to a report by the Congressional Research Service, a US government institution that compiles information on behalf of Congress. The report documented another 218 US military interventions between 1798 and 1990. That makes for a total of 469 US military interventions since 1798 that have been acknowledged by the Congress”.

Comment: A map is provided with red denoting interventions – the UK, Ireland and most of Europe, Apartheid Israel/Palestine and Fiji are red but not intimately US-linked and US lackey Australia.

Quote: “The following list reviews hundreds of instances in which the United States has used military forces abroad in situations of military conflict or potential conflict to protect U.S. citizens or promote U.S. interests. The list does not include covert actions or numerous occurrences in which U.S. forces have been stationed abroad since World War II in occupation forces or for participation in mutual security organizations, base agreements, or routine military assistance or training operations. Because of differing judgments over the actions to be included, other lists may include more or fewer instances… Listing of Notable Deployments of U.S. Military Forces Overseas, 1798-February 2022… ”

Comment: Does not mention (not “notable”?) huge and continuing military associations between the US and Apartheid Israel and Australia.
