"intimidate a power like US" is what China, and Russia are doing with monthly regularity around the world with zero pushback.
The only time ever USA gave a direct response was this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Khasham https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Khasham and even that was made more out of fear than a deliberate pushback, despite it sending kremlin into weeks long stupor.
- brabel 6y agoNot to defend China or Russia, but you seem to think the USA is completely innocent and does not constantly intimidate anyone it thinks is not an ally (sometimes it does it even allies). Guam is actually a great example. Why do you think the USA keeps a military base on such an isolated location, really far from its shores? In fact, the USA has literal guns pointed at the head of every country in the world[1]. Saying that someone is intimidating the USA without pushbacks is laughable.

- totalZero 6y agoGuam is a long-held US territory (stretching back to the Spanish-American War) that was occupied by the Japanese during WW2. It would be strange for the US military to not maintain a base there.
