    One of our greatest strengths is that we build coalitions. We just told the world that if you ally with us, you better be ready to grovel.

    For example, places like Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan are capable of building nuclear weapons but they didn’t bc they trusted us to protect them. Each of those countries are now imagining themselves sitting there in front of cameras being berated for ingratitude.

    Without our allies we are much less powerful.

      They didn’t do it because they can’t without US approval.

            It’s a troll community. Nothing more.

                I suppose that’s true, but if you’ve seen how they moderate that community, it’ll be impossible to have that place be anything other than what they want it to be.

                And I hadn’t noticed them getting banned. Might have to look into that.

            Iran is a geo political enemy… nobody cries about this.

            If US starts going this route with allies, it won’t end well for US. They can’t enforce hegemony at a gun point if we don’t have the coalition of major world economies behind our back. In that scenario, we will need to be worried about them fucking us over if we get bogged down in Vietnam or Afghanistan etc.

            North Korea build the bomb and so did Iran and they even developed lunch systems.

            US literally transferred nuclear weapons tech and material to Israel to enable their “rogue” program.

            But yes… US killed an Iranian guy for working on nuclear weapons. Trust me dawg… we have done a lot more reprehensible things
