its force of arms. Really.. would we even talk of this if america did not have 12 nimitz class carriers. 12 ohio ssbns.[that can destroy the human world in an eyeblink] A fleet of impervious Abrams land combat vehicles.[yes impervious.. the iraqis had thousands of t72's in '91 NOT ONE KILLED AN ABRAMS] The abrams however exterminated [sniker] the t72's And there were only ~200 abrams 50 b2 stealths 100 b1 interdictors. No The Us would be tibet a victim
But as I’ve pointed out elsewhere having a big stick is only good if you can use it and use it effectively. Just having better weapons doesn’t mean you win the wars. Especially if those ‘wars’ are officially not being fought or are being fought by proxy. It means you can bully – parking an few dozen warships off a peoples coast can get their attention, but it doesn’t always work. When opposition forces tried to remove Hugo Chavez the presence of US naval vessels in Venezuelan water was not enough to stop him getting back into power. The thing is that the influence of such bullying only goes so far and they get greatly diminished when the ‘overwhelming force’ is seen to be ‘weak’ and so defeated such as in Vietnam, Somalia, and Iraq.
Aside from the actual military, with over 300 million private guns in a country of 300 million people we are one of the most heavily armed countries on Earth
Exactly.. Why do you think the military would never think of 'unrighteous ' takeover. It would be blown away.
