    While the above poster is missing the particulars, this still is unprecedented - panama and the US were at war, and Noriega surrendered to US forces before being taken to the US. As far as I’m aware, brazen kidnapping like wuth Maduro really is a new low for the US.

    That was an invasion, not a kidnapping.

    The first hint is the situation was called “invasion of Panama”

    Approximately 24,000 troops descended upon Panama in December 1989, beginning a weekslong siege of the country that scattered the government and military officials.

    That’s an invasion, not a kidnapping…

        What are you talking about?

        There’s no American troops there now.

        If you’re arguing there’s going to be a response or separate action in the future, yes…

        That’s how time works, there’s always something happen, obviously something will happen next

  I think we did that to Hawaii. And now it’s a state.

    Nah, Hawaii was an invasion, I believe the Queen was travelling to DC.

    She left Hawaii as a queen and when she got to Hawaii to negotiate a treaty, she was told Hawaii was already an American territory

      The close enough for me. Going in to countries and fucking about then leaving them worse is kinda what we do unfortunately. Well I guess it’s what all countries who can do as well.

        When you get the time it’s worth reading up on, super interesting and I’m surprised there hasn’t been a big movie about it despite America being the bad guys.
