Grok (listen er ikke komplet, vi har for eksempel ikke lige fået Iran og Venezuela med):
Defining “invasion” or “military attack” by the United States or NATO since World War II (1945) requires careful consideration, as these terms can encompass a range of actions, from full-scale invasions to airstrikes, covert operations, or support for regime change. Below, I’ll provide a list of countries where the U.S., NATO, or NATO member states (acting under NATO auspices) have engaged in significant military actions, including invasions, airstrikes, or other direct interventions. I’ll focus on verifiable instances of direct military engagement, excluding non-military actions like economic sanctions or diplomatic efforts. The list is organized chronologically and includes brief context for each case, based on historical records and my understanding of international conflicts up to September 2025.

Notes and Clarifications
• Scope of “Invasion” or “Attack”: The list includes direct military actions like invasions (e.g., Afghanistan, Iraq), airstrikes (e.g., Libya, Syria), and covert operations with significant military components (e.g., Cuba). It excludes non-military actions like cyberattacks or funding insurgencies without direct U.S./NATO combat involvement (e.g., Iran 1953 coup).
• NATO’s Role: NATO’s direct involvement is limited to specific cases (e.g., Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Libya). In other instances, individual NATO members acted under U.S.-led coalitions or unilaterally, not as NATO operations.
• Time Frame: The list covers actions from 1945 to September 2025. No major new U.S. or NATO invasions have been widely reported since the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, though ongoing operations (e.g., Syria, Yemen) continue.
• Sources: This is based on historical records, declassified documents, and reports from sources like the Congressional Research Service, UN records, and academic histories of U.S. and NATO interventions. For recent actions, I’ve cross-referenced open-source data, including posts on X, which mention ongoing U.S. drone strikes in Yemen and Syria as of 2025.
Limitations
• The list may omit minor or covert operations with limited documentation (e.g., small-scale special forces raids).
• Some actions (e.g., Yemen) involve indirect support, which may not fit a narrow definition of “attack” but are included due to significant U.S. military involvement.
• If you want a deeper dive into any specific case or additional countries, let me know, and I can analyze further, including checking X posts or web sources for real-time context.
This covers the major instances. If you have a specific definition of “invasion” or “attack” or want me to focus on a particular region or time period, I can refine the list!

I stedet burde regeringen, kommissionen, gå af og ophøre med at blande sig i stort og småt. Lov er ikke (burde ikke være) et middel til plyndring. Bastiat beskrev det i 1849 – det gælder stadig!
