And wouldn't you know it, they aren't conquering or colonizing. First great power in history that didn't go around conquering all they could.

@chinavirus841 But no, I'm not joking at all. If the US behaved like any other major military power in history then Canada and Mexico would've become the two largest states a long time ago.

Except that the U.S.A. isn't expansionist.

 @chinavirus841 If you care; The contraction of "you" and "are" is "you're", as in "you're going to the store". "Your" is possessive, as in "your car" or "your comment".

@anasqader3851 My guy, where are you getting these numbers? The US gives more foreign financial, medical, food and disaster aid to the world than the world does, from both government and private sectors. Even China took aid up to 2018.

@thefish5861 I'm a fan. British common law and Magna Carta set the grounds for the US Constitution, as well as equal and human rights. Would've never overcome colonization and British dominance without help from the French. We were getting slaughtered before they taught our generals how to fight against the British.

About 78 percent of US rare earth imports come from China. US is currently making moves to not only end reliance on China, but to rival them in production.

@sergioacevedo2254 It's also not as bad as some believe it to be. Look at Afghanistan. Population of Kabul before US entry was around 500k and now it's closer to 4.5 million. The distance of roads was doubled, old roads modernized, grids installed, agriculture developed. You can now see green from space, solely due to drip irrigation technologies implemented by US army engineers and contractors. First female CEO's in, first female millionaires, women in school before US = 0, women in school after = millions.

@majormononoke8958 Math and self efficiency. Look at the difference between NATO members and countries that sign trade deals with China or Russia. Every member has benefitted and NATO has proven its efficacy. Articles of war 4 and 5 ensure security. GDP of the UK is twice that of Russia. GDP of the Norse states (Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark) is higher than Russia. That's only 27 million people. Russia has over 143 million people. NATO members get access to our technology. Just look at any member state's imports/exports and GDP after joining. Compare to places like North Korea, Venezuela, Belarus, Kazakhstan. The places China "develops", Angola, Laos, Burma etc, all in debt to China for all of the forseable future. Russia is the opposite, they have more external debt than any other country. Mostly to Italy.

@majormononoke8958 Also, NATO is not the USA lol. It's a membership organization where all members gain security and trade. It's more like a commonwealth. NATO members get better trade with each other, less tax, more shared equipment and technology, shared security.

@willthecat3861 Hear, hear. I wish that would happen already and give us a reason to boost domestic production.

@TravisBerthelot Yeah, fair point. All we can do is hope for the most beneficial outcome for all citizens of all countries.

@anasqader3851 lol you love your anecdotes. I'm not here to give a history lesson. You'll figure it out eventually. Are you Chinese? You sure seem to like your whataboutisms too. 😆

Dangerous? The guy who shook hands with Kim Jong? The guy who brokered peace between Sudan and Israel? First president to speak with a Taiwanese leader in 35 years? HE is dangerous? But you're fine with the guy who called half of civilians the greatest threat to the nation. Get your head out of your rear.

@sergioacevedo2254 Check their GDP. Math doesn't lie.

@sergioacevedo2254 Your comments are getting ghosted and it's a shame too. I can imagine it, yes. People are still people. See how crazy Americans are today? But we have protections. It's not the U.S. which has the power, it's the creators of the military hardware which are all private businesses. Americans are also armed but in reality, against real military might... ha.
