I tend to like the fact the US has a military strong enough to discourage anyone from invading/killing/raping everyone. I don't like the vast majority of what we do outside our border with said military though.
The US Empire is currently using its millitary to plunder the world, and protect the imperial core from retribution from the global south. It needs to die, ideally by being overthrown from within.
Discourage who? The fishes in the Atlantic and the Pacific ocean?
All the nations they have terrorized, bombed and stolen from.
💯
The imperial boomerang is proving this an impossible balance to find. Welcome to the imperial core, where all the mil-tech testing we’ve done on the rest of the world is finally being turned around and pointed at citizens.

One what? I said I dont like what the military does but I'm glad we have one in general because humans are inherently violent. You can pretend we all get along and don't need one but that's idealistic fantasy land.
Lots of developing countries have shit militaries and we don't have a big problem of being invaded relentlessly by evil people. You're the baddies.
Sorry, can you stop deepthroating that boot, I can't understand why you.
High probability of the people who wants to do that is seeking revenge, so it's the military fault anyway.
