    True but without the US, western Europe would belong to Russia or China… That arguably a lot worse.

    It’s the lesser of all evils.

      Why would China “own” Western Europe. This sounds like a very vibes based analysis

        This will probably devolve into the usual tropes. It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this.

        They would if they could. Imagine China having a powerful air force like the US have. They would dominate every country in the world just like the US is doing. The US puts almost all their money into high tech weaponry as well.

        The US is going after the middle east to get oil and to establish military bases for future domination. Has nothing to do with liberation or democracy.

            Do you have any actual arguments? So far you are not really contributing to the discussion at all.

        How can China be of its current size without invading anyone? When it started, it was just a small patch in central Henan area.

          This pedantry is ridiculous, wrong, and annoying. The Han ethnic group that was in a relatively small patch of land ~4,000 years ago is hardly the same thing as the contemporary Westphalian sovereign state known as People’s Republic of China, which formed less than a hundred years ago and comprises many ethnicities.

        Disagree on that they are the most evil, but yes they are also evil. China, Russia, US… They are all evil. But the US seems like the lesser evil to me.

            What’s cringe is your comments here… You just contribute nothing to the discussion.

            Why isn’t it good that the US is controlling things? And why do you think it’s better if China would?

            That’s how you have a real discussion.

            Skin color is completely irrelevant. Now I think you are just wasting my time and trolling. :) I’ve been called a racist like 3 times now. Is that what you guys do, just play the racist card in every discussion? Certainly seems like it so far.
