lack of sources for claims edit

I'm not disputing the claims, but there is no sources for a lot of the claims so it reads like original research. e.g. the "examples" section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paintedxbird (talkcontribs) 00:31, 25 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

I agree the examples section is poorly sourced. US intervention in Vietnam was not started to divert attention away from domestic issues during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations and I don't think any public figure has have ever made that claim. Conversely, the examples section does not include the Kosovo, Iraq, and Sudan interventions of 1998/1999, all of which were pushed by the Clinton Administration during Lewinsky Affair and his subsequent impeachment This has been pointed out by the New York Times, Alexander Cockburn and others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2C6:4300:2B77:FDCF:E69D:91FF:876D (talk) 21:52, 7 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
