    If I’m not mistaken, the US spends more on military than the rest of NATO combined. How do you imagine a military engagement against the US would end for us?

        It doesn’t quite feel right for other countries have to send their citizens to fight and die against a former ally just because American citizens can’t hold their government accountable.

        That’s because Americans could not stomach killing enough innocent people to win the war like we had in previous wars. The US military could have depopulated Afghanistan if the citizens of the US would have permitted it.

        If an invading army is attacking America there’s little reason to believe the citizens wouldn’t be ok with killing every invader.
