The result of the move request was: Not moved. ( non-admin closure) Natg 19 ( talk) 08:19, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
United States invasion of Grenada → United States liberation of Grenada or United States intervention in Grenada – The United States did not invade Grenada for the purposes of conquest à la the Russian invasion of Ukraine or the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, it would be unlike the United States. It was a humanitarian intervention to liberate the country and restore order towards democracy from the brutal military regime of the People's Revolutionary Government (PRG) which illegally seized power a few years prior. The fact that the country literally has a national day called "Thanksgiving Day" is proof that the Grenadian people were literally thankful that their country was liberated. 14.35.117.98 ( talk) 09:55, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
NPR's Throughline had an episode about the invasion, the lead-up etc.: https://www.npr.org/2023/11/09/1198908205/throughline-grenada-nobodys-backyard November 9, 2023. Kdammers ( talk) 01:04, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
It's a bit odd that this section describes the invading forces but not the defending forces. PatGallacher ( talk) 21:23, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
Would it be worth mentioning that most of the votes against Resolution 38/7 were from Caribbean island nations, or maybe providing a list of the "no" votes? Bearing in mind that a map wouldn't be super useful since island states are hard to see. Voting record can be found here.
Also, the International reaction section describes criticism by Commonwealth states, but a large amount (maybe more than half: I haven't counted) of the "no" votes or abstentions were from Commonwealth states. I'm not sure that the current description of the Commonwealth reaction gives a full picture. Thoughts on this? Placeholderer ( talk) 22:10, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
