    I am slowly realizing that I'm made quite a few timelines in topics here. So I'll compile others here.

    Louisiana Purchase - 1803
    • Jefferson wanted it
    • Jefferson had no constitutional right to buy it
    • Jefferson blatantly ignored the lack of constitutionality
    • Jefferson ignored that it wasn't legal to sell in the first place
    • Outcome: Land bought from a dictator that didn't belong to him, thus land stolen from Spain

    West Florida Republic - 1810
    • Madison wanted it
    • Madison had no legal right to the land
    • Madison invaded and conquered a free and independent republic without a declaration of war
    • Madison blatantly lied about it being part of the Louisiana Purchase to silence opposition
    • Outcome: Land of newly independent people conquered, thus land stolen from West Florida

    Spanish/East Florida - 1812
    • Madison wanted it
    • Madison had no legal right to the land
    • Madison invaded after failing to incite a rebellion in 1810 (the people didn't want it), and conquered Fernandina and Amelia Island without a declaration of war
    • Madison disavowed it after the fact to cover his ass after failing to capture San Marcos Castle
    • Outcome: Land of the Spanish Floridians was taken by force, thus land stolen from Spanish Florida

    British Canada - 1812
    • Madison wanted it
    • US declared war on British...
    • ...Canada was not a part of our dispute with the British
    • US repeatedly tries to conquer Canada in the War of 1812
    • Really really really wanted Canada
    • Outcome: Status quo in war, but US really tried hard to take the land of Canada from the British

    Spanish Mobile - 1813
    • Jefferson and Madison wanted it
    • Neither had legal right to the land
    • The Spanish and French denied Jefferson's right to it, but Madison conquered it during the War of 1812 without a declaration of war on Spain
    • Madison uses the cloud of war with Britain as an opportunity to $#@! the Spanish *again*
    • Mobile isn't mentioned in the treaty ending the War of 1812, essentially a "$#@! you" to Spain with no compensation whatsoever
    • Outcome: Land of Spanish taken by force, thus land stolen from Spain

    Spanish Florida - 1818
    • Monroe wanted it
    • Monroe had no legal right to the land
    • Monroe invaded and conquered the rest of Spanish Florida without a declaration of war
    • Monroe pretended he had nothing to do with it and Andrew Jackson did it all on his own
    • Outcome: Land of Spanish taken by force, thus land stolen from Spain

    Texas - 1835
    • Jackson wanted it
    • Jackson tried to buy it, Mexico wouldn't sell it
    • Jackson's ally Sam Houston, almost a son to him, leads the Texas Revolution to defend slavery
    • Americans send arms and supplies and march off for Texas independence from slavery-hating Mexico
    • Jackson sat back and relaxed, Van Buren played it safe, and finally....
    • Outcome: The US gets to annex the Republic of Texas in 1845, thus stole land from Mexico

    Mexican Empire - 1846
    • Polk wanted it
    • Polk had no legal right to the land
    • Polk instigates a war based on lies for the sake of expanding slavery and grabbing land, Congress declares war on Mexico
    • US takes 1/3 of the entire Mexican Empire's territory in the form of the American southwest and California

    Timeline of American involvement in the Middle East-

    Quote Originally Posted by iustitia View Post

    And let's remind ourselves about America's involvement in the Middle East, shall we?

    March 29, 1949
    CIA-backed coup detat in Syria for Trans-Arabian Pipeline.

    August 15, 1953
    Operation Ajax, CIA-backed coup detat in Iran for Anglo-Iranian Oil (British Petroleum), Standard Oil of New Jersey, Standard Oil of NY/Socony-Vacuum (Mobil-Standard Oil of California), Gulf, and Texaco.

    March 21, 1956
    Operation Omega, originating from the OMEGA Memorandum, the plan of the US and British to destroy Egyptian leader Nasser for his nationalism. The Suez Crisis would seal Eisenhower's desire to remove Nasser's influence from the Middle East.

    April 1, 1956
    Documentation shows CIA-M16 discussion and collusion to engage in regime change in three Arab countries and desire for partnering with Israel to do it. The US and British had plans for the assassination of Nasser who has become a threat to the West's oil interests.

    July 1, 1956
    Wilbur Eveland and Archibald Roosevelt of the CIA, and Michail Ilyan of the Syrian Populist Party, met in Syria to discuss US funding for political purges.

    October 25, 1956
    Planned date for the overthrow of Syria by the previous three men mentioned.

    January 5, 1957
    The Eisenhower Doctrine is declared by the President declaring US willingness to intervene in the Middle East to "fight communism". Eisenhower would intervene and he wouldn't be the last.

    September, 1957
    Eisenhower's approval of CIA plans to overthrow the Syrian government and assassinate its leadership by faking border incursions with pro-western regimes.

    July 15, 1958
    Operation Blue Bat, US intervention in Lebanon of 14,000 US troops during the Lebanon Crisis.

    1960
    ''Health Alteration Committee", CIA plots to assassinate Iraqi Prime Minister Qasim who withdrew from the Baghdad Pact and nationalized the Iraq Petroleum Company.

    February 8, 1963
    Ramadan Revolution, CIA-backed coup detat in Iraq succeeds against Qasim.

    July 17, 1968
    July Revolution, CIA-backed coup in Iraq bringing Saddam Hussein's Baathists to power.

    October 14, 1973
    Operation Nickel Grass, an overt act of US support of Israel in the Yom Kippur War. Tens of thousands of tons of equipment, arms and ammunition. As a result of our intervention, OPEC embargoed the US causing the 1973 oil crisis.

    January 1978
    Demonstrations intensify in Iran as the Iranian Revolution begins against their dictator the Shah (installed with the aid of the US and British in Operation Ajax in 1953).

    January 16, 1979
    The CIA fails to predict the fall of the Shah of Iran, a longtime CIA puppet, and the rise of Muslim fundamentalists who are furious at the CIA’s backing of SAVAK, the Shah’s bloodthirsty secret police. In revenge, the Muslims take 52 Americans hostage in the U.S. embassy in Tehran.

    July 3, 1979
    Operation Cyclone, CIA-backed arming and training of Islamist insurgents in Afghanistan to fight the Soviets. Like the Shah in Iran, Afghanistan's dictator prior to Soviet invasion allowed CIA radar installations to monitor the USSR.

    April 24, 1980
    Operation Eagle Claw, CIA-planned rescue attempt of hostages in Iran. Miserable failure. Revolutionary Iran emboldened.

    September 22, 1980
    Iran-Iraq War, in a decade-long war in which the United States aimed to destroy both by prolonging the fighting. The US supplied Iraq with military aid, credit and intelligence. Weapons given to Saddam would be used against his own people. The US had no problem with Saddam getting WMDs back when Saddam was our buddy getting Iraqis and Iranians killed. It also helped the US and Saudis pour billions into military hardware and "defense" systems.

    December, 1980
    Operation Bright Star, resulting from Camp David agreement. The US trains the Egyptian military and has done so every two years since. The US supported this military dictatorship until 2011.

    January, 1982
    Establishment of the Multinational Force and Observers. The United States essentially agrees to use US troops to police Sinai for Egypt and Israel.

    August 21, 1982
    United States involvement in the Multinational Force in Lebanon is announced by Reagan. Once again the US occupies Lebanon for "stability".

    September 29, 1983
    Again, US forces return to Lebanon after Congress passed the Multinational Force in Lebanon Resolution. US forces are repeatedly targeted.

    April 18, 1983
    United States Embassy Bombing in Lebanon by suicide bomber. Another example of blowback from Muslims pissed off at US foreign policy.

    October 23, 1983
    Beirut Barracks Bombings in Lebanon against MNF forces killing 299 Americans. Another example of blowback from Muslims pissed off at the stationing of US troops in the Middle East. Reagan decides to pull out of Lebanon and instead of learning from this we invade the harmless island of Grenada for no reason.

    August 8, 1983
    United States intervenes in conflict between Libya and Chad with surveillance planes, jet fighters and ground forces.

    June 5, 1984
    United States surveillance aircraft help Saudi Arabia shoot down Iranian planes over the Persian Gulf.

    August 19, 1981
    First Gulf of Sidra Incident, firefight between Libyan and US aircraft. The US purposely instigated a fight with Libya in its claimed territorial waters.

    March 23, 1986
    Action in the Gulf of Sidra, US forces once again cross into the "Line of Death" marking Libya's claimed territorial waters and fight Libyan forces.

    April 5, 1986
    Berlin discotheque bombing which kills two American soldiers. Libya is blamed by Reagan despite no trial of any suspect until 2001.

    April 15, 1986
    Operation El Dorado Canyon, US bombing of Libya in reaction to the 1986 Berlin discotheque bombing. Again, no trial of suspects until 2001. Failed attempt to kill Gaddafi.

    July 24, 1987
    Operation Earnest Will, the blatant US protection of Kuwaiti oil tankers and intervention in war between Iran and Iraq.

    July 3, 1988
    Iran Air Flight 655 is shot down by the US Navy killing 290 people including 66 children. The US never apologizes.

    December 21, 1988
    Pan Am Flight 103 bombing in Lockerbie, Scotland. Another example of blowback against US foreign policy, Libyan nationals bombed in reaction to Reagan's bombing of Libya in 1986.

    January 4, 1989
    Second Gulf of Sidra Incident, US forces once again cross into the "Line of Death" marking Libya's claimed territorial waters and fight Libyan forces.

    August 2, 1990
    Persian Gulf War, instigated by the CIA. US Ambassador to Iraq April Glaspie encouraged Saddam to invade Kuwait who was slant-drilling into Iraq making billions of dollars off Iraqi oil. Back in 1989, CIA Director William Webster told Kuwaiti leadership to take advantage of Iraq's bad economy and push them, and a CIA-linked think tank simultaneously told Saddam to push Kuwait. Even earlier Bush authorized billions of dollars of illegal arms sales to Saddam. When Iraq invaded Kuwait, the US then fabricated war atrocities (like when the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador gave fake testimony in front of Congress under the name 'Nayirah' and claimed Iraqi troops were ripping Kuwaiti babies from incubators). Saddam was willing to agree to UN demands, and the US wouldn't have it or peace.

    August 6, 1990
    The sanctioning of Iraq. In less than a decade the combination of sanctions, embargoes and no-fly zones against Iraq would result in half a million dead Iraqi children, destroyed infrastructure, the fall of living standards and a crushing effect on Iraq's economy.

    March, 1991
    Operation Provide Comfort, the US operation resulting in the establishment of an autonomous Kurdish region in Iraq. This is one of the first of many operations involving the US's illegal no-fly zones over Iraq.

    August 26, 1992
    Operation Southern Watch, the illegal US control and manipulation of Iraqi airspace.

    February 26, 1993
    World Trade Center bombing in America (which the FBI totally allowed to happen and then blamed on their informant), carried out by the likes of Sheik Abdel Rahman, a veteran of the US-backed war in Afghanistan. Attack is due to US support of Israel.

    June 26, 1993
    Cruise missile bombing of Iraq by Clinton in retaliation for a bull$#@! plot to kill Bush. 8 civilians die needlessly.

    September 3, 1996
    Operation Desert Strike, the cruise missile strikes on Iraq for resisting America's illegal no-fly zones and daring to fight back against occupation.

    January 1, 1997
    Operation Northern Watch, yet another blatant violation of Iraq's sovereignty six years since the end of the Gulf War.

    August 8, 1998
    Embassy Bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. Another example of blowback against US foreign policy, the bombers blames US sanctions on Iraq as their motivation for the attacks.

    August 20, 1998
    Operation Infinite Reach, US bombings of Afghanistan and Sudan in retaliation for the Kenya and Tanzania bombings. These missile strikes were pointless and achieved nothing other than the destruction of a pharmaceutical company which supplied a majority of Sudan's medicine. Tens of thousands of dead likely resulted from destroying this source of healthcare.

    December 16, 1998
    Operation Desert Fox, another bombing of Iraq. Conveniently carried out when attention was on Clinton's impeachment hearings. We know he didn't lie about getting a blowjob under oath, which means the justification for this bombing wasn't a bull$#@! distraction right?

    October 12, 2000
    USS Cole Bombing, at Aden, Yemen. Another instance of blowback against US foreign policy, a branch of al-Qaeda bombed a US ship in reaction to US creation of intelligence facilities in Yemen.

    Why did 9/11 happen? Do I need to go on? Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, Egypt, Libya, $#@!ing everyone everywhere everytime. I'm not saying Islamists are good. I'm saying there's a reason they're bat$#@! crazy and it isn't just because they're "dirka dirka" barbarians. It's because they're poor, ignorant $#@!s whose culture, countries and loved ones are constantly under attack from the secular, commercial West.

    We saw how powerful 9/11 was to Americans. Imagine living in a desert nation or in mountains country where this has been going on literally for generations. If my family was bombed or my country overthrown by foreigners I'd be pissed off too. If my son was blown up I'd start killing $#@!s left and right even if they pretended to do it for freedom.

    And yes, though I didn't touch on it, North Korea is another example of paranoid xenophobia in $#@!ty countries created by imperialism and nurtured by autocratic regimes. The lesson of the 20th century is stop $#@!ing with the $#@!ed.
