I think the west usually has valid reasons when it gets involved in overseas engagements using its military.

I do not subscribe to the tin foil notions that the west is secretly controlled by evil forces.

You have to be very careful when you use your military forces on foreign land. The reasons have to stand up to analysis.

Using your military to strong-arm the theft of land from a neighbour is very very far from a valid reason.

Can you imagine the USA or UK or Australia doing anything even remotely similar?
