That's the insane comparison you made, and always make. Quit making it, and I'll quit refuting it.
That's not the point at all.
So quit making it.
I'm not suggesting we're Nazis or Warriors of the Sun Emperor.
You're merely saying that we behave like them, which is patently absurd.
We are the same in that we are also a marauding super power who is given to ghastly and heinous illegal invasions of other nations.
Really? Why are Canada and Mexico still sovereign nations then? Why are we dicking around with Iran and otherwise pussyfooting all over the Middle East? We tread lightly in ways no other conquering force
ever did.
Japan or Nazi Germany sure wouldn't have dicked around the way we have. Given our advantages, it would've been the Rape of Nanking or the demolition of Poland...all over the globe.
We've done nothing of the sort. Hell, we even went out of our way to rebuild Japan and Germany. Who else does that?
And we're the ONLY one left doing so.
All the more reason your argument falls completely flat. We're free to do whatever want, practically anywhere on the globe, yet we tread lightly everywhere, even when we engage our enemies in battle. We don't obliterate them, and we easily could.
Your analogies are simply ridiculous.
We're the only superpower who is actually acting like those two--as well as the Soviet Union for a period.
And here you are again, still trying to make the very point you just said you're not trying to make.
You
are saying we're like them, and you're an imbecile for even trying to draw such a comparison.
Take a look at what we've done--in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
Then compare it to what Germany did to Poland and Ukraine.
You're an idiot.
