I hope others understand why countries need to arm up and the importance of having the ability and preparedness to defend themselves. Everyone vilifies the US and it’s not perfect but I guarentee you this is the best version of the world. There is no other “good” super power who doesn’t want to see the whole world submit to its will. The United States has been the only Vanguard of freedom around the world for over the last 100 years. I’d rather have a few bad things happen then a guaranteed destruction of global freedom if the US stops its military and let’s genuinely bad people take its place. That’s how it works there is no but ifs or should it’s facts and reality it’s unfortunate but just like gravity you can’t deny it or avoid it. It obviously could be better but what couldn’t be better? Everything could improve.

82 years, really.. The U.S had a bunch of non-interventionist policies before 1940.

Eh, we’ve seen what a world where european nations were the dominant global powers looked like in the 1800s and early 1900s.

Propaganda? You tell me what other super power you want controlling the world. Have you seen what Russia has done in Ukraine? Have you seen what China has done in Hong Kong? Stop being a fool talking on your high horse bitching and complaining. This is the real world your feelings and beliefs are not practical given the world we live in. I’m sorry you can’t understand that there are terrible countries in this world that want to do truly bad things on a global scale and the US is the protecter-it of it. You give me another solution please before you give some sorry half ass explanation. How do you stop the bad countries like Russia and China in this world without having an equally powerful good country? You are a fool my friend a fool

No, I haven't.
I've been told, though. By "trusted sources," that I have no meaningful way to check up on.

The US literaly destroys countries and economies if they even look the wrong direction for one second, installing the worst trash human kind has ever seen in positions of power if they swear their undying allegiance to the CIA .. oh i meant the US.. Please dont fool yourselv.. the US isnt the "good guy uncle sam" .. thats all just PR.. the reality is that theres nothing and i mean absolutely nothing the US would not do to keep their dominance over the world no matter how many humans suffer from it.. as long as its far away, its ok to an extent.. But on the same hand, the US and Capitalism is better then any of the alternatives.. looking at you, communism, you repressive piece of shit.. i like our world .. but we all need to work together to make it better.. which means you also cant lie or talk stuff better then it is or you block yourself AND the person you are talking to from ever understanding the whole picture.

I dunno China and Russia both seem to be actively engaged in genocide so it’s pretty clear who the bad guys are this time around. Sorry your narrative is dying tho
