USA definitely had the plan for a war with cuba, but it luckily didn't happen. They did start many other wars in the meantime, mostly on the other side of the world.

This is a really weird way to write “USA decided not to fight a war with Cuba”, everybody makes all kinds of plans.
And there's a difference between a "lets prepare, just in case if cuba attacks" and "let's make a false flag attack, and kill our own people, so we can attack cuba".
NATO has has only engaged in non-combat missions in Iraq, in support of the local government. NATO has never fought in Iraq.
The US is not NATO, it would do you well to do some basic research before throwing around misguided criticism.
Well, for a defensive alliance it sure has been on the offensive for the best part of 50 years
E: Unfortunately can’t reply below because of HN throttling, but yes, a month ago I moved several of my employees out of Ukraine because of Russian troop buildup on the border.
Wars don’t start overnight, everyone who hadn’t buried their head in sand knew this was a likely outcome.
Yes, at their own borders. Their jurisdiction ends there.
All other nations have the right of self-determination and don't have to care about Russia's thoughts.
If they won't like it, they could sanction Ukraine or something, don't you think?
I live in a small balkan country, and we also have our soldiers in kosovo, syria, libanon etc... what right do we have to point the finger at russia? USA is currently bombing somalia. China is looking greedily at taiwan... etc.
If "everyone else" can do it, why not putin? If not putin, why do we let usa do it? Ukraine is just another equivalent of iraq, afghanistan, etc.
This would be a great time to say "stop" in nato, start acting as just a defensive organization, stop all the nato members meddling abroad, and say "NO" to both putin and USA, and everyone else who wants anything outside their own borders.
This is bordering on dishonest. US is supporting the legitimate Somalian government against a terror group famous for it’s attacks on schools.
You could sort of compare this to Russia supporting the Syrian government, despite their legitimacy being questionable. This is something they have hardly faced international criticism over, beyond downright war crimes.
