    Tell me, if a dude with a gun walked into your living room and said “hey don’t worry I’m not gonna go in your bedroom”, you’d be cool with that?

    If someone with a gun wandered into my living room, and I said, “I would like you to leave now” and he turned around and walked out of my living room, then I would certainly have an interesting story to tell but I absolutely would not claim that I was “attacked” or “invaded” no. And that’s someone literally walking into my own residence and not just wandering around in the woods outside my house, technically within my property line.

    If a hunter crossed into my property line and then left when I told him to, calling that an “attack” would be even more ludicrous. I would absolutely laugh at anyone who tried to say that and not take them remotely seriously, just as it’s impossible to take your claim seriously.

    The problem with NK isn’t the fact that they could pose a threat. The problem with NK is that they could pose a threat, as well as constantly talk about how they will invade

    And what I’m telling you is, again, that your precious beloved empire will fall to pieces if some poor country halfway across the world talking shit is enough for you to pour endless resources into the military while neglecting actual problems at home.

        You’re right. Your empire will never fall. All those other empires that thought the same way were different. This one will last 1000 years.

        The US is already in the process of collapsing. That’s what the OP article is about. International alliances are weakening. The military is facing shortages. More and more countries are abandoning the dollar. The extreme right is growing stronger and stronger. Trump got elected, twice, and he is only a symptom of the problem that you refuse to acknowledge or address.

        You clearly deserve the future you’re creating with your stubborn imperialism. It just sucks that you’re subjecting the rest of us to living under fascism because people like you couldn’t get over your lust for power.

          Given a choice between western imperialism and eastern imperialism I pick western imperialism. We have tacos.

            Well, I’m glad that you’re finally taking the mask off and admitting that you’re an imperialist instead of doing that silly bit where you pretended to be an anarchist or a leftist. I don’t know who you thought you were kidding with that.

              I never wore a mask. I have always been open about my preference for the Western world compared to the eastern world. If I preferred it the other way around, I wouldn’t have left the USSR.

              Of course we could do better…but we could also do much worse.
