I thought that’s what I said…that the citizens of the USA have taken over the term ‘American’ to refer to themselves. A noteworthy missing country was Iran 1953. http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB28/
Besides, this is entirely different.
In this case, the original attack was on a UN protectorate and the answer was relief by the UN. My uncle saw action in Korea and came back with only 1 ear drum, luckily that is all he lost, I assure you he was not American or United Statesian as they should be called :-) Technically, N. Korea violated a UN ceasefire and the response will be from the UN. If N. Korea starts a war, the UN will respond and of course the US of A being the big dawg with the big bite will be at the forefront of the UN response.
Perhaps in those cases you cited the world should have said something, but more often than not, its the rest of the worlds corporate elites that benefit from many of the military actions of the few so they sit back and profit as in BP and Iran 1953. Lots of people think BP had its roots as British Petroleum but no, it was British Persian.
It’s a different world now, repeating past mistakes is no way to move forwards. Doing nothing means over a dozen countries going nuclear to defend themselves. Great discussion so far by the way!
