I don’t count those as invasions because the goal wasn’t the seizure of any resource. WWII kicked off from the Nazi invasion of Poland, and the Allies fought them all the way back to Berlin, then gave Germany back (mostly, except the partitioning and the permanent military bases).
In the European theater? Maybe on the western front you could argue that was true but absolutely not on the eastern front. The Red Army was the cause of so many rapes and warcrimes on their way to Berlin. Not to mention their occupation of Eastern Europe, setting up on puppet states and later genocide in Eastern Europe. The western front also had plenty of rape cases caused by an army passing through. Definitely better than the eastern front but still heavily impacted the regions they passed through.
The Pacific theater is a bit of a question mark. The Japanese were absolutely awful, worse than the Nazis in quite a few ways. But from the sheer intensity of the fighting over here it is not a pleasant experience for anyone involved. Especially if you were a Japanese citizen during the island hopping campaign. There are plenty of reports of mass suicides being committed out of fear of what the US could do to them, to the US’ credit they did send interpreters to try to talk them out of it. Then there is the ethical question of the usage of the nuclear bombs, I am not going to give my opinion, this is one you must decide for yourself. The Chinese front is another complicated topic, there’s the Japanese with their brutality in things like the Rape of Nanking and there is what would be Maoist China, the Republic of China (who I don’t know enough about to make an argument on) and the USSR who is also here to complete the shit sandwich.
The North African front I know the least about so I am not even going to discuss it.
I dont see anyone that could. Even a weakened US is likely to have nukes, and a fair few of them, a hypothetical invader that is not Canada or Mexico (which would have to deal with having a smaller population and a much worse economy, or a much smaller population) has to deal with crossing an ocean and therefore building an extremely large naval capability. And finally, whoever it is would have to occupy a huge area with a population of over 300 million.
Meh, let them weaken their country so a good invader can take over and correct the bullshit
I don’t think there is any such thing as a “good invader”.
Based on USA slipping in to Nazi dictatorship, what could be a “bad” invader?
North Korea? Somalia?
Seems the same if Trump gets his wau
There have been a few. The Allies in WWII leap immediately to mind.
But in this case I don’t see why anyone would do this for America.
