    That would be the 3rd unprovoked attack on a country by the president of peace

    Way more than three.

    Venezuela: In January 2026, U.S. forces bombed Caracas and captured President Nicolás Maduro after months of a naval buildup, oil tanker blockades, and anti-drug strikes in the Caribbean.

    Iran: The U.S. carried out joint strikes with Israel (including Operation Midnight Hammer) targeting key nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

    Yemen: The U.S. military expanded its air and naval campaign against Houthi forces in Yemen and the Red Sea to protect commercial shipping lanes.

    Somalia: U.S. warplanes launched counterterrorism strikes against Islamic State (IS) operatives hiding in the Golis mountains.

    Iraq and Syria: The military conducted airstrikes to hit ISIS positions and defend U.S. service members from hostile fire.

    Nigeria: U.S. forces executed targeted air strikes against local Islamic State militant groups
