Don't think so. It can be argued that the US pushed Germany and Japan into war but not that they confronted them or attacked them.
Either way, didn't the US have their asses handed to them by Vietnam?
It seems not. The part of the North Vietnamese leadership that knew about and escaped the Christmas Bombing were collaborators with the US and opened the countries doors to a new colonialisation by debt (including paying the debts of the losing Saigon government!)

Grenada and Panama elegantly illustrate my point.
Nobody else attacks small and distant countries and colonises them under puppet governments.
Haven't done so since Germany and Belgium attempted to colonise parts of Africa.
Nearly illustrates the other point - the US never attacks nations able to retaliate.

Try the British and New Zealand can you go further than that for colonizing and do you need any more examples of countries in Africa the British colonized ?
How many natives did the British kill that had muskets and cannons , very few if none , doubt Maori or the Aborigine had any?
British Guiana that was on the Empires door step was'nt it (nope it was not)
Uganada - Swaziland - Malawi - Nigeria - Ghana - Kenya - Botswana bet they all had loaded kiwi fruits to repel the Red Coats
Umpteen Islands in the West Indies and the Caribbean
You are such an idiot when you try to revise history
The British always used maximum force to ensure the Empire never retreated

No fighting in Tanzania, Uganda, Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra leone, Gambia, Zambia, Nyasaland, Lesotho, Swaziland, Botswana or British Somaliland.
Fighting in = Kenya.
And we even know why there was fighting in Kenya - its because, most unusually, we'd introduced lots of settlers with guns.
Though we did this in a much bigger and more serious fashion in Palestine - to devastating effect.

You made a statement which was utterly false in every word every syllable .
You now claim there was no fighting and you expect anybody to believe You ?
How many colonies did the British take by force from the Germans or the French or how many campaigns were fought in Africa by the British??

There was no fighting in any of the 12 British colonies in Africa ... except one.
And that was because, as in Palestine, we'd introduced land-grabbing settlers, wasn't it?

So there was no fighting in South Africa or Kenya ? You want more facts more countries ?

South Africa achieved independence without any violence.
Meanwhile, you don't do facts otherwise you'd not be still defending Iron Sieve, 4 years after the whole project was shut down and the director frog-marched from his desk.

I don´t see North Korea as a real threat. In theory craz Kim could launch a missile, but he is not that crazy, but between him and Trump, this is a bogus issue, both using their positions to bolster their base support at home -- just a distraction.
