Sigh...the US cannot occupy and control China, India etc because it is a liberal democracy, which is the very reason that it is a benevolent power relative to all previous great powers. You seek to limit potential US power in your mind because you limit yourself to thinking of them as they are now with the same values as they have now.

This thread is about classifying the US as a terrorist power and has extended into what is effectively a discussion of classical imperialism.

Lets delve into what a real terrorist/imperialist power with the technology and military of the US would be like. Lets call it Nazi America.

What do you think happens?

I assure you it isn't pretty and that there is noChina, India, or Russia as significant powers since those places would have been crushed by biological weapons, chemical weapons, and nukes, etc. There would be mass extermination of peoples around the globe and enslavement of the rest. Nazi America wouldn't be worrying about niceties like governing. It would not be constrained by ridiculous analogies like putting 500,000 boots on the ground in Vietnam, when it could obliterate North Vietnam in a few seconds.

That is what a terrorist Nazi America would be like. Of course that is absurd...which is exactly my point. The idiots spewing out nonsense about America being a terrorist nation have no sense of perspective at all. Because Nazi America would be an unbelievable horror compared to what the US is today. That is my point.

The US will never be able to take over countries like India, China. Yes the US can defeat them militarily but after that is over. US will be forced to occupy them to control them. Just the sheer size of those countries will make hell on the logistics and would drain the nation's finances. Just put things in perspective during the Vietnam War at one instance the US had over 500,000 troops and backed up at least allied 500,000 troops still unable to quell the insurgency there.

Yah, no.

Does stupid things at times, yep.Has things turn out the exact opposite way they intended at times due to lousy implementation, yep.

In a forced choice between backing some corrupt losers that you can at least talk too vs some other full on whack job losers that are renegades or in the other guys camp, yep.

Stuck with crappy allies at times, yep. Arms all sorts of weirdos at times for misguided reasons, yep.

Terrorist country? LMAO, no.

The world is extremely lucky that the country with by far the largest technological and military power is the US.

Any of you freaks thinking the US is actually a terrorist country should think again.

Imagine if Iran had the US technology/military power? Or N Korea? Or even Russia or China?

The US is by far >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>the most benevolent power that has ever existed in human history based upon their strength relative to all other rivals. At any other time, every other great power would have annhiliated all other rivals had they possessed this much advantage.

That doesn't mean they don't do stupid things and we should criticize them at times. But LOL at you people who have lost all sense of perspective.

Many nations can stomach more casualties than the America public can. That is America's weakness. America is a powerful nation. But it is defeatable.
