The USA has a larger military than the next 5 nations combined.
The USA is not under threat from anyone. This would still be true if the US military was a tiny fraction of its current size.
The USA does, however, use its vast military to attack other countries without provocation, seemingly to protect commercial interests.
I don't think it's "childish" to be suspicious of the US Military. I worry about the mentality in the USA that everyone needs to protect themselves all the time with firearms. I don't understand why everyone seems to be scared that someone else is going to do bad things to them if they're not armed to the teeth. I suspect this is projection.
- repler 3y ago> The USA is not under threat from anyone. That is demonstrably false. In fact, should Texas ever actually secede from the Union they would very quickly find out exactly how much our enemies dislike us. Hard to believe someone actually typed that sentence.
- quesera 3y agoI agree with your headline premise, but ... > In fact, should Texas ever actually secede from the Union they would very quickly find out exactly how much our enemies dislike us. Go on...?
- marcus_holmes 3y agoOk, I'll bite. Who is threatening the USA, or would if the USA's military was the same size as Canada's?
