Libya - we acted as part of a NATO mission to assist a popular revolution in overthrowing Muammar Gaddafi (dictator, war criminal, torturer, and rapist)

Syria - we acted in support of a civil war to overthrow Bashar al-Assad, a dictator who ran a brutal police state and committed numerous war crimes including using chemical weapons on civilians.

Iraq - a war started by Republican President Bush. The rest was trying to clean up his mess.

Russia - negotiations and economic pressure only. Unless you mean supporting Ukraine,v the ally Russia INVADED.

Chinese "spy balloon" - kinda grasping at straws to paint Democrats as warmongers there, aren't you?
