Borders and Bombs

Reblogged from A Man Called Su:

China shares a border with 14 countries. From what I can gather, the US has used military force in at least nine of these.

  • Afghanistan,  1998, 2001-
  • Bhutan
  • Democratic People's Republic of  Korea (DPRK),  1950-1953
  • India, 1942-1945 (1)
  • Kazakhstan
  • Kyrgyzstan
  • Laos, 1962-75
  • Mongolia
  • Myanmar, 1942-1945 (1)
  • Nepal
  • Pakistan, 2004-
  • Russia, 1918-20, 1920-22
  • Tajikistan, 2001 (2)
  • Vietnam, 1955-75

I'm not arguing whether the use of force was necessary or not.
