For the "outsiders" it would be interesting what americans think that makes their country great. I would appreciate if you could explain it.
As I am a foreigner to you I will only see relativly aggressive foreign affairs. It nearly seems like if I am a foreign country and I don't agree with things US want to get, the US will park some heavy aircraft carriers right in front of my door to "convince" me better make the deal happen. Here we call it "russian collection"
The second thing is, if I look to big cities in your country and in the streets there are "children" fighting to each other with guns to death, I will say the US has a very serious problem. It's not said in my country we don't have any crime, but here we don't have gangs heavily armed killing everyone who is saying a wrong word.
I know with this statements I will be bashed now (" you f...ing US hater" and so on) but as a free person I can have my own opinions. Please don't misunderstand me, I am not a US hater, but in fact and I am only talking for myself, the USA is not heaven and will never be.

I enjoy reading your posts usually, but with all due respect this "why didn't the germans DO something" is complete horsecrap.

Lets get to how an empire loses a war
Typical American is a slightly overweight person. Gripping a pepsi or coke (I prefer pepsi) watching CNN salivating at the prospect of USA dropping more bombs in the name of doing the world a favour.
A typical American has never experienced true danger at home, civil war long time ago is like a fantasy from history channel.
When US escalates or calls in CIA and Mossad to pull off another false flag or if Kim really does strike first, if he truly is insane. Regardless how a war starts. USA will go in not just guns blazing, TACTICAL NUKES BLAZING
And US will seemingly defeat North Korea in something like 2 days.
The coke and pepsi drinking American will jump up from the sofa chanting USA USA USA.
And then something will happen, something average American and American government never dreamed possible
China and Russia will see this as the final proof that US really is out to get them by death of thousand cuts (invasion of countries 1 by 1).
China and Russia will start a silent attack on US economy, and silent terrorist attack on US civilians.
Suddenly large cities will have bio-weapons outbreaks, China will try to crash the bond market (which they can do), New York Stock Exchange and Chicago Stock Exchange will close indefinitely to prevent collapse of Dow and Nasdaq.
US dollar will begin a collapse.
Americans will panic
Banks will close.
Marshal Law will be proclaimed.
People like gangs and even ordinary civilians will start shooting guns here and there.
Military will be told to start gun confiscation and FEMA camp placements.
A CIVIL WAR WILL START IN USA
MILLIONS WILL DIE
US will be henceforth known as The Great Whore That fell. Babylon The Great.edit on 6-4-2013 by LogicIsUnderrated because: (no reason given)

No. It will never happen, and you are just plain wrong. As long as the US are not the aggressors, no other superpower is going to attempt anything at all. The US will not quickly wipe out NK, but they will get them to surrender within a month or two, at the most. At this point, China will swoop in to establish some economic opportunities for themselves, as there is going to be a lot of rebuilding done. China will be busy with that, and will not be interested in either an economic or physical war with the US. Russia, who will actually be losing something by the capitulation of NK, is not in any position for a war, and therefore will do nothing that could trigger a war with the US.
You have to realize that things do not occur in a vacuum. Two countries so far apart cannot go to war without many other countries becoming involved. And there is no country that would attempt to do anything against the US that would be cause for war over what happens in NK. Plus, with NATO and the UN, there is no chance that a superpower is going to risk sanctions against them. It would be too costly to a country like China or Russia. Waay too costly, and they would not even have a way to fund a long term war at that point. It would be bad. But if for some reason war did end up breaking out, the US would not be defeated. First of all, the US would not be fighting on their own.
The events leading up to conflict would cause allies to align militarily with the US, as the US would not be seen as the aggressors in this case. I have mentioned before that one of my greatest hobbies is combat analysis using mathematical models, and the US has advantages in many of the key areas necessary to defeat Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, etc. In fact, one of the countries that the US would have a hard time is none of those I just listed, but rather India, but I will not get into that now, because a war with India does not seem possible in the near future, for various reasons. Too many people think that a war today would not involve ground forces, and would be nothing but nuclear missiles going back and forth.
If this was the case, the US would have a great advantage. China has no real missile defense system capable of stopping incoming nuclear ballistic missiles, and although Russia does, it is nowhere near as sophisticated as what the US has set up in the last decade. The US is more than capable of bringing down ballistic missiles armed with nuclear warheads, so just because a country fires on the US does not mean they are going to hit them. Not to mention, all of these countries are at such a distance from one another than shooting missiles from Russia or China to the US is not practical, considering the armaments of both of these countries.
And the US Navy vessels armed with nuclear warheads are many more than any of these countries. So for them to attempt to position vessels in missile range of the US mainland is not practical. No other country can match the US in things like number and sophistication of aircraft carriers, submarines, etc. Those are what are really going to count. And this is all assuming war broke out. But it will not.

Originally posted by Osiris1953China seems to distance themselves from NK. Unless NK invades South Korea we most likely will not be involved in a war with NK....even China wants to stop their development of nuclear arms. If we do have to go in there we will probably have Chinese approval.
I see this kind of Mainstream manipulation all the time, and it works.
This is one of those beautiful little lies, like the one saying All the other Islamic countries have no love for Iran and would love to see Israel and US take them out.
Where as the TRUE FACT IS, puppet governments of Israel and US do support attack on Iran, but the people of those countries don't.
But the mainstream neglects to tell you that part of the story, they just simplify for the little people.
Same with China and NK,
