I wasn't aware that the US had recently invaded any "allies" for
disagreeing with it on political matters. The only US military
actions in the last 40 years have been in response to invasions
by Soviet troops or agents. (And taking over a country at the
"invitation" of the local Soviet puppet Communist Party does
count as an invasion.)
