U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday called China a "ticking time bomb" because of its economic challenges and said the country was in trouble because of weak growth.
It's pretty wild that the US engaged in an economic attack that destroyed the Japanese economy, despite the Japanese government pretty much being a US puppet running on a constitution the US wrote, because they were too good at making VCRs.
I hope ppl remember is that the US didn’t want to be in either world war. After that second round the US fundamentally changed. And that change wasn’t desired by the US. But they felt it needed to happen. No one wants another hitler. Stalin has already shown himself to be a mass murder. The massive problem is that those who were aggressive then took over. Using that reality and fear to do it. But one thing that holds is that for 4 years the US had the bomb alone and didn’t use that for territorial gain. Same can’t be said for Soviets. The US was tired of war and wanted peace and prosperity to return. From that era I can’t defend. But this series of events in my experience are not well reflected upon.
It's been like this for a long time. Remember the Maine! And all that. I tried to nail it down once and I think like two US wars in it's whole centuries long history of ruthless warmongering haven't been wars of naked aggression conudcted under a false causus belli.

Nothing has really changed (even in 21st century)

The US needs to be #1 in the world and they'll do anything to achieve that.
