Ukraine isn’t listed, but is covered under Russia.
Those who think that the world is a peaceful place, filled with sweetness and light . . . clearly haven’t been paying attention.

Just saying, we humans haven't been at peace since Cain and Abel.
I think you forgot the US war on drugs and US war on Poverty. Plus all those other moral equivalents of war like global warming. 🙂
How many of those wars have US involvement? How many have US "advisors" on the ground?
Just an observation, but of list presented, only Korea, possibly Mexico, Russia, and possibly Thailand don't seem to involve Muslims as major players.
For Nuke Warrior,
Last time I was in Thailand it was at direction of CINCPAC and we were forbidden to go any further south than Sonkhkla. The muslim terrorists were very active south of there twixt the Malay border and next northern city of real people. Like the PI, the muslims make themselves the problem everywhere they are and when their are no christians, they turn on each other in a heartbeat.
Antibubba:
I've read recently that we have troops of some sort of numbers in 150 nations. I didn't think that many existed!
Nuke Warrior:
if you count places with Muslim terrorist activity, it would be easier to list the ones that don't have it (yet).
All of these conflicts involve Muslims on one or both (all) sides except China, Colombia, Korea, and Mexico.
China's oppression of the Muslim Uighurs doesn't count as a serious enough conflict to merit mention in the summary.
