I wouldn't hold my breath... The US launched an airstrike in an illegally-occupied (Syria) nation less than a week ago.

Both international law (the US has no UN mandate) and national/domestic Syrian law.

Ah yes, because surely when the US stops patrolling the seas and skies of this planet, nobody else will try. We will finally have our peaceful utopia once that pesky United States is out of the way!

“The United States-initiated aerial bombing of targets inside the borders of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriyah which took place on April 15, 1986, was met with substantial and immediate criticism by the world community. The positive reaction from the U.S. congress and the American public was not shared by much of the world.

In meetings of the UN Security Council, countries denouncing the raid outnumbered those which supported it.
