Not just Afghanistan, but also Iraq and forced regime-change in Libya. And then a decade of drone bombings all over ME and North Africa.
And then repeatedly poking the bear by expanding NATO eastwards. Putin said Ukraine in NATO or with nukes is a red line.
America likes to call South America and even Africa its "backyard", but thinks it's appropriate to antagonize Russia right on its border.
Very tragic, and I'm truly sad that war has broken out now.

Thanks for the sarcasm.
Putin wasn't going to wait until it's too late.

Read up on the Cuban missile crisis if you want an idea of what the US will do. They threatened nuclear war and got quite close to executing that threat.

Do you think the USA would just let it slide if Mexico or Canada joined a military alliance with Russia or China, one that was founded with the explicit goal of containing America?

RT @dustyweb@twitter.com: A lot of organizations I cared about used to have an IRC presence (eg Creative Commons) and moved primarily Slack based on the justification of "well there's an IRC / XMPP bridge". But it turned out that was a bait and switch: https://opkode.com/blog/slacks-bait-and-switch/

Slack is lying when they say XMPP can't support the features they're adding. I've written a blog post about this: https://opkode.com/blog/slacks-bait-and-switch/
