I mean, is that not par for the course for superpowers, historically? The US just has a wider area that it can reach in that regard, due to better technology of the current era

Not sure “getting” a carrier group would be seen as a plus. Usually means you fucked around (or we think you did), and we would like to remind you that finding out is an option.

You underestimate the depth of that spread. You’ve seen the knife, the jar is at home.

Small countries still need supermarkets to buy weapons from to fight each other. It’s an inevitability that sides get chosen because selling weapons to both sides looks particularly bad.

I don’t think you understand how war driven America is. There is a 2020 article that recorded data to show that over 244 years, only 15 of those years were spent not being in a war.

It’s not the Americans that want the war. It’s the American politicians that know they can’t get re-elected without it.

I was more suggesting that America inserts itself into other countries conflicts sometimes with benevolent intentions, other times not so much.

Either way America never seems to see a war it doesn’t like.

It’s kind of how the DoD defense plan works. Bases all over every continent so that the US can fight Russia and China from someone else’s yard. It also incidentally protects those other countries.

The US never has benevolent intentions when it comes to war.
