When is Foreign Intervention Justified?
When is Foreign Intervention Justified?
## Details **Location:** **Crimson Whiskey Bar (Downstairs Bar, Not Rooftop)** The purpose of Thinkers and Drinkers is to facilitate casual but meaningful and interesting conversations with other people in a face-to-face setting. The topics cover a wide variety of issues and are different for every meeting. While conversations may get heated at times, we ask that all members be respectful of each other and refrain from personal insults. # **Topic: When is Foreign Intervention Justified?** Just three days into the new year, the US launched an operation that captured President Maduro of Venezuela and brought him back to the US to stand trial. This occurred in a time when most Americans, regardless of party affiliation, are against getting involved in another foreign war, with memories of Iraq still fresh in their minds. While it may be too soon to definitely judge the consequences of this intervention, there are many examples of foreign interventions by both the US and other countries in the last century. Some of which were more successful than others. The US intervention in the Gulf War (1991) to liberate Kuwait is considered to have been a quick, decisive victory that was very popular in both the US and Kuwait itself. Other intervention examples by countries include: * USA invasion of Iraq (*2003-2011*) * Soviet invasion of Afghanistan (*1979-1989*) * French intervention in Mali civil conflict (*2013-present*) * Chinese intervention in the Korean War (*1950-1953*) * Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia to overthrow Khmer Rouge (*1978-1989*) * USA intervention in Vietnam War (*1965-1973*) * Indian intervention in Bangladesh independence war (*1971*) * Cuban intervention in Angola civil war (*1975-1991*) * South African intervention in Angola civil war (*1975-1988*) * Russian intervention in Syria civil war (*2015-present*) * Saudi-led intervention in Yemen civil war (*2015-present*) * USA support for coup in Chile against Allende (*1973*) * Soviet suppression of Hungarian Revolution (*1956*) * USA intervention in Dominican Republic (*1965*) * Turkish intervention in Syria civil war (*2016-present*) # **Questions to Consider** * How much should human rights affect the decision to intervene? * Is intervening based on ideological grounds warranted? * How important is maintaining international law on intervention? * Should we differentiate between direct military action and covert (CIA-like) operations to topple governments? * Should security and economic interests be the deciding factor? **SUPPORT THINKERS AND DRINKERS:** Thinkers and Drinkers International is a registered 501(c)7 nonprofit organization.

Master AI For Work & Business-10X Your Productivity & Unlock Opportunities(Free)
Master AI For Work & Business-10X Your Productivity & Unlock Opportunities(Free)
[Click Here To RSVP Now](https://AICourse2026.eventbrite.com/?aff=DCMU) Free Virtual Course AI is creating one of the biggest shifts in how we work, earn, compete, and build wealth — and this moment won’t last forever. Right now, AI is helping people generate new income streams, automate hours of work, cut business costs, streamline operations, 10x productivity, and operate at a level that once required entire teams. Yet most people are barely scratching the surface, using AI the same way they use Google — and missing out on life-changing opportunities. This intro webinar is your starting point. You’ll learn how to begin mastering AI to elevate your 9–5 career, optimize your business, and create new income opportunities. You’ll also understand why AI is far more powerful than the casual everyday use you see online. Afropolitan Cities is partnering with Dr. Iyanuoluwa Odebode, Ph.D, Founder & CEO of Wokkah, an expert in AI-powered decision-making and innovation. Iyanu teaches businesses and professionals how to use AI to save time, reduce costs, and unlock new revenue — and he will walk you through the exact foundations you need to start doing the same. What You’ll Learn (Clear, Practical, Immediately Useful) This webinar gives you a high-level roadmap to: • A strong foundational understanding of what AI really is — and what it is not • The secrets, techniques, and systems behind effective prompting (prompt engineering) • How everyday people are turning AI from “just prompts” into income, client systems, and scalable operations • How to leverage AI to 10x your productivity at work and in business • How to monetize AI and create multiple income opportunities • How simple AI systems can help you work better, smarter, and faster — while cutting significant operational costs • Real case studies showing how AI is used today in both professional and business contexts AI is now doing the work of assistants, analysts, editors, marketers, researchers, and strategists — all at once. When you learn how to “speak” to AI properly through effective prompts, your possibilities multiply. See less

Meanwhile, I will hold the meetings at the Fairfax City Regional Library, bring pizza and soft drinks, and put out a donation jar. (When you RSVP, you can tell me what you want. There's no guarantee you'll get it, and "nothing" is a perfectly good answer.) PLEASE RSVP YES IF COMING, AND CHANGE IT TO "NO" IF YOU THEN WON'T COME AFTER ALL.
