Jokes aside (of which I'm sure this thread is aplenty), realistically if we're expecting to be at war with China, Russia and North Korea, you know whichever lunatic president is running the murderhouse is definitely going to fire first; if we're actually expecting wholeheartedly that there'll be a nuclear confrontation, the government will absolutely fire first because in a nuclear war you always want to be the first one to fire, and we'll be doing it with countries that genuinely don't even want any confrontation, let alone a nuclear one. To the government it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when (to fire first).
Living on the same planet as America must be like trying to have a nice meal in the vicinity of someone experiencing hyper roid rage.
It’s genuinely freaky to see liberals fully convinced that everyone but the US is belligerent and so diplomacy is pointless. The irony is lost on them.
I suspect this mentality stems from liberal democracy being portrayed as the sole legitimate form of governance. It amounts to modern-day marketing for colonialism, masquerading western hegemony as benevolent civilizing missions. In this schema, the west can't be a belligerent by default because countries resisting western dominance are seen as being regressive and fighting progress towards the natural state of things. Western liberals are basically the borg.
That makes sense. It aligns with their perceptions of foreigners. If one assumes the natural inclination of humans is to desire some form of liberation democracy, then it follows that citizens of illiberal countries must either brutally repressed or complicit in their governments actions.
you know whichever lunatic president is running the murderhouse is definitely going to fire first
It will happen after the first American loss
Any war will begin with a propaganda campaign that will make the ravenous countrywide bloodthirst of 2001 look positively quaint. You'd see "reasonable liberal" reporters from the NYT and MSNBC on the verge of using slurs, while Fox is straight up calling for the annihilation of all [slurs]
The very second the first US carrier is sunk by a hypersonic missile is the second the US goes into full Khornate blood rage and the president, whoever they are, begins firing every last nuclear weapon at whoever sank the carrier

indeed America is the rabid dog of the global community
Problem with that rabid dog is that once you go to shoot it, it's fleas launch from it and they somehow destroy you as well.

Another way of looking at it is Israel and other imperial outposts being the rabid dogs trained by America set loose on the world.
I very much think that it's the US itself that's collectively insane, and it just spreads its sickness around the world.
