    1. Bosnia is mostly white.

    2. The only countries most people would consider to be “white” are western European countries that are geopolitically stable. We have treaties with those countries and most (read all) are aligned with NATO.

    Sure, you can argue that the United States is bombing the countries in this graphic to try to kill ethnic minorities, but that’s an argument in bad faith and you know it. Is the US trying to take advantage of arms sales and profiteer from resources in those countries? Yes. Are they also trying to come to the aid of foreign governments battling terror organizations and leaders with dictatorial ambitions? Also yes. Geopolitics and foreign policy don’t fall neatly into good/bad actions. Switzerland is famously neutral when it comes to warring nations, but they also allowed their banks to profit and enable the Nazis during WW2. Inaction can be just as damaging as action if not more so.
