In WW2 the British kinda/sorta invaded Iceland against their will. Ostensibly to “secure” Iceland from falling to the Nazis but the Icelanders weren’t really given a choice in the matter IIRC.
British and French were ready to pre-emptively invade Norway. Had troops right off the coast ready to disembark. Germans beat them to the mark by a day or two. They then smoothly switched gears to an “intervention” and the corporate media covered for them.
Soviet preemptive invasion of Poland: bad
Soviet-British preemptive invasion of Iran: good
:us-foreign-policy:
Hey now,
Libs also ignore Poland invading the Easternmost bit of huwhite Czechoslovakia just as it was being nommed by the Nazis.
