Hmmm. As I recall, those weren't "invasions". We did not supply an occupying force. Those were specifically tasked deployments..and then withdrawn.
You might have a case for Somalia, but how'd that end up again?
A "tasked deployment" even if withdrawn, is an illegal invasion.
And since the goal in these "tasked deployment" was illegal regime change, it is exactly what any illegal invader does.
That is like saying we did not invade Texas, Cuba, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc., because we eventually removed most of the troops.
Technically when we illegally takeover a country by bribing other troops, that is also an invasion, like in Chile with Pinochet and Iran in 1953 with the Shah.
The point being that the US is the single worst offender of colonial imperialism.
We are the biggest threat to democratic republics in the whole world.
