@DougDog_@SoilOfHarvest@EnigmaGamingX While few would attack us directly, there are a large number of states that intend on harm our allies or our interests. For example, in a world where the US military had the same capacity as the British military, I think Taiwan would already have been invaded.
@DougDog_@SoilOfHarvest@EnigmaGamingX I find it strange to attribute our ability to wage war to the petrodollar. It is a nice currency-stabilizing measure which creates demand for the USD, but I don't see how that nice bonus to our finances significantly impacts our capacity to wage war.
