Yes, the United States has frequently struck, or engaged in military action against, other countries on behalf of, or in support of, allies. Major examples include the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in the Kosovo War, and defending South Korea in the 1950s. The U.S. also regularly uses targeted strikes for collective security and to protect ally interests.

Key examples of US military actions on behalf of allies:
- NATO Operations (1999): The U.S. led NATO air strikes against Yugoslavia during the Kosovo War to protect regional allies and stability.
- Korean War (1950s): The U.S. intervened to prevent the collapse of South Korea, a key partner.
- Gulf War (1990-1991): The U.S. formed a coalition to liberate Kuwait after it was invaded by Iraq.
- Mutual Defense Treaties: The U.S. maintains treaties (like NATO's Article 5) that commit it to the defense of allies, which have been interpreted as authorizing force to protect them.

True, but:
Under international law, preemptive war has a precise meaning and does not extend to pursuing government change. It is a narrowly defined exception to the prohibition on the use of force, permitted only when a threat is imminent. In 2003, that threshold was widely judged not to have been met. In 2026, the evidence suggests it has not been met again.
then he should have said that
On June 20, 2025, all 67 Iranian airport weather stations went down for exactly one week. Extremely coordinated. This is when the U.S. supposedly bombed their nuclear sites.
Here are my daily files for Ahvaz, Islamic Republic of Iran. Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani International.
You can see the week-long gap in the missing data.
In the current conflict, most Iranian airports are still reporting weather conditions, except for Tehran and a few others.
This is very interesting to me. Geopolitical meteorology.

My weather server caught some interesting things.
I collect airport weather data globally. On June 20th at 0600Z, all airport stations in Iran went offline at the same time due to the US bombing. Roughly about 66 airports total. They all came back online at the same time one week later.
No airports went offline in Israel during that period.

Yep, I mentioned it last year
