The only time that the US (or any other capitalist country) is genuinely in a place for "humanitarian reasons"

besieged unfortunates in the mountains.

If the US forces are carrying weapons and preceded by air-strikes, they are *not* there for any
"humanitarian reasons" no matter how the various propaganda mouthpieces try to paint that turd.
