The USA has interests in every single part of the world, so it's also pointing nukes and guns at everything and everyone - that's "defensive".

@MarkPaul it's aggression, but it's not peace.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Well, I've learned history from history. You don't get to my position in the world by playing video games and watching movies. You know, when I was a cub reporter, I learned you need to secure corroborating evidence before you can go live with a scoop.

@Roundandroundwego It's aggressive, for sure. But, it's not aggressiveness as an end. It's a means to an end. And, that nuance is important to understand. It took me years of study to understand it, so I can understand how you might be having trouble wrapping your head around it.

@MarkPaul Your posts prove you don't even have a high school level understanding of history.


It is aggressive for the sake of power. And as usual you are the shill for empire.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Well, as a historian for all intent and purpose, I resent your slander. Furthermore, as a keen observer of human behaviour, I think I know how aggression is used and better than you because I have that natural talent to be apply what I know in a pragmatic way. I really resent having to explain this to you. Covering my credentials is not something I enjoy doing.
