Does talking up a big game and failing to do anything say, "Lets build some nuclear tipped ICBMs?"

I mean the US have been super comfortable pillaging South America for decades but seem to ignore actual threats like Iran, Pakistan, North Korea and arguably Russia. I do admit the US talks up a big game when dealing with these countries, obviously though: "Actions speaks louder than words," and sometimes inaction says even more.

The US has no serious external threats, in all honesty. Our military is pretty unequaled. Its most serious threats are internal, that it could be mismanaged to such an extent that it could collapse and then nations that would otherwise not be threats then [i]become[/i] threats. This is why information warfare has become the new avenue of attack.

Those countries are justifiably protecting themselves from the warmongering US
Why is it only the US is *allowed* a nuclear deterrent?!

@SW-User warmongering ? Are you daft? The history of the world always seems to be forgotten by the globalists . Being the lone super power is certainly going to greater jealousy and ignorant remarks . If aggression is appeased world war becomes inevitable . Clinton appeased North Korea and gave them money and nuclear reactors ... now they are trying to provoke annihilation by threatening the world with nuclear strikes . Obama not only enabled the core of the worlds terror to have nukes but also tried to weaken the US ‘s ability to mount any resistance to it . Suitcase nuke strikes all over the world will become reality if that obama blunder isn’t stopped . Who’s going to do that cupcake?

@TexChik I guess to sum up: Where did ISIS, Saddam, Pinochet and bin Laden get their help starting out?

What exactly do you expect to be done?

@ButterFly2023 The big kahunas of the world do their best to prevent proliferation - through a number of processes. Once someone gets nukes, well, it gets complicated.

Why Russia is in this discussion I really don't understand.

Pakistan is in a standoff with India, if you're thinking about disarmament, you'll have to tackle both - and both did it completely legally.

Iran is cooperating with the deal. And in all honesty at this point calling them a rogue state is pretty silly anyway.

North Korea is North Korea.

We've actually been more active in the middle east than Latin America - and for a long time.

It's a post WW II discussion. Who has the US engaged since then? And more importantly hasn't?
@ButterFly2023 they only engage where money is involved!

Russia isn't a threat, all their stuff is old junk and they are tied up in tanks

@Jackaloftheazuresand This question runs all the way back to 1945. However Kennedy backed by Lemay actually had balls in the Cuban missile crisis, meth may have helped here. It's the only anomaly in this pattern.
