Maybe if they were not such a complete kleptocracy run like a mafia state we would have some sympathy, but they aren't so we don't. If they want to participate in global leadership/trade they should spend more time trying to work productively with the rest of the group and less time pissing in everyone else's face.

"pissing in everyone else's face" - isn't it what US is doing?

What has the US invaded and taken as part of its own country?

If the US declared Iraq to be part of America, then yes. Or the next time American claims a chunk of Mexico or Canada for themselves. Iraq was a huge mistake, but it is not the same as trying to seize land from your neighboring country.
