- pietrovismara 6y agoI don't get the downvotes. Thats exactly how it goes, how the US in the past retained the "first global power" trophy it now lost.
- viraptor 6y agoDownvoted a tone-deaf comment which puts together an implicit threat of instantly vaporising thousands of unsuspecting people, and refusing to do business in one sentence - as if there wasn't a massive difference. When someone writes "threat of atomic bombs" they should consider if they mean it.
- lucian1900 6y agoThere is a spectrum of violence the US can perpetrate, it starts with sanctions, continues with coups and invasions and ends with nukes. Sadly, we’ve seen the entirety of the spectrum already.
