William Blum’s US Military and CIA Interventions Since WWII
Killing Hope: U.S. Military and C.I.A. Interventions Since World War II by William Blum
So I asked some AI tools for help. Here is the tool from the Russian Yandex “Alice” AI
Seems that the policy of divide and conquer employed by empires has been used by the West to break up countries. Yugoslavia is a good example: create ethnic tensions, often based on lies to set groups against each other, and the country is destroyed internally. In Ukraine, ethnic Ukrainians set against Russians as a way to create crisis in Russia, with the intent of breaking up Russia. In China, Tibet, Taiwan, Xinjiang are all historically part of China but agencies such as the CIA fomented dissent, as an attempt to split China. Please comment and list other countries that have experienced breakup and 'balkanizing'.

Here is the Chinese Deepseek response to the same question:
At first it gave an answer, but that quickly vanished and instead they said this:
‘Sorry, that's beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else.’
Well, what to do? Let’s try Elon Musk’s Grok…Interestingly, it gave an answer similar to what Deepseek first gave, then deleted.
The Congressional Research Service (CRS) report *"Instances of Use of United States Armed Forces Abroad, 1798-2023"* (last updated April 2023) documents over 400 instances of deployments or uses of U.S. military forces abroad from 1798 to April 2023.
Post-WWII (September 1945–July 2025)
Since the end of World War II (September 1945) up to the present (July 2025), the report lists approximately 300–350 instances of U.S. military deployments abroad. The exact count depends on how certain operations are categorized (e.g., continuous missions vs. discrete interventions).
Key Observations:
Cold War Era (1945–1991): Numerous deployments, including Korea (1950–53), Vietnam (1955–75), Lebanon (1958, 1982–84), Grenada (1983), Panama (1989–90), and various covert or smaller-scale operations.
Post-Cold War (1991–2001): Operations in Somalia (1992–94), Haiti (1994), Bosnia (1990s), Kosovo (1999), and frequent airstrikes (e.g., Iraq no-fly zones).
Post-9/11 (2001–2025): Major conflicts in Afghanistan (2001–2021), Iraq (2003–2011, plus resumed operations against ISIS), Syria (2014–present), Libya (2011, 2015–), and smaller counterterrorism deployments in Africa (e.g., Niger, Somalia).
The CRS report does not extend to July 2025, but since its last update (April 2023), additional deployments (e.g., continued support for Ukraine, Red Sea operations against Houthis) would likely push the post-WWII total closer to 350+ instances.
For precise numbers, you’d need to manually cross-reference the report’s listed operations (pp. 16–46 for post-1945) with later additions.

When I confronted Deepseek with the original government link, it came up with this:
