> Can the USA please stop orchestrating large international conflicts? It's getting really annoying that almost every major conflict is fuelled by the states. Seeing how morally confused the rest of the world is, I am thankful that my country has the biggest army, navy , and air force. I mean you can't even properly assign moral blame for who is the aggressor here (China... the state that continuously threatens a violent invasion of a territory that is not theirs). Given the moral depravity of many non-Americans, I think it's reasonable to enforce basic ethical standards by force.

This is hilarious. America is one of the most morally confused countries in the world right now. We literally popularized the idea of moral relativism. Talk to a college student they can’t even say that rape, cannibalism, etc are absolutely wrong. Why step into any conflict if you can’t state with 100% absolute confidence that something is immoral or evil?

Yet, we're one of the few that can say that if your country was brutally attacked you are allowed to respond with force. > Talk to a college student they can’t even say that rape, cannibalism, etc are absolutely wrong.

    I don't think anyone but Russia is against Ukraine defending itself. And I think Americans are plenty aligned with academia, except the small fraction of ultra-conservative republicans who are against everything that's not in their 2000 year old handbook. It's just that that fraction seems to have much more power than they should have based on their demography.

The average American completely ignored academia during the COVID pandemic. America's rates of compliance were way lower than other similar countries.
