Well, I thought you perhaps meant those last two wars, as they have the biggest influence on this topic, don't they?

So giving aid to countries is bullying? I need to think again before I help people.

America defends it's liberty by bombing smaller, weaker, defenceless nations. Bully? Not really. America is simply lost. A relic of the Cold War.

Imagine a boxer, a boxer who has a rival. Throughout their careers these boxers postured, sparred, sometimes it got down to a grudge match. Then, the rival was suddenly gone. The boxer, who was used to having a rival suddenly had none. What does that boxer do? He beats up on smaller, weaker opponents in a futile effort to prove his superiority (or, to defend his faltering reputation). Each time this Boxer squares up to an opponent he mercilessly tears him apart. This does not glorify the boxer, it shows him in his true light. A machine of unimaginable power and a frustrating lack of an outlet. Each time he defeats his foe he expects the praise others but this is not forthcoming because the others are more refined, cultured and understanding of the situation. They know that the boxer is picking fights with unmatched opponents and they know these are empty victories, devoid of meaning or purpose. This boxer is fighting for the purpose of fighting, it's his nature. It is a nature which will lead to eventual defeat when a new challenger rises in the East...

You're right, America will be strong forever. China's vast army, powerhouse economy and nuclear warheads will never challenge the all-mighty forces of freedom! If history has taught us anything, it is that powerful nations are never challenged and never fall, they go from strength to strength until the end of the world.

That's right, I live in the East and I therefore have a better grasp of what is going on here than you could ever hope to have. All Great Empires have their time and then fall. I do not support China, I was born here when we were a British Colony (my father is British), but I can assure you that any transgressions against Korea would lead to America getting a very bloody nose. Maybe not now, but within a decade China will reign supreme like America does now.

America grows fat and lazy (typical of the reigning champion ). The only way you could hope to stop China is by mutually assured destruction, and if that is what you want... God help us all.

Edit:
Americans know geography more than anyone else on earth. We bomb a country, and then everyone knows where it is.

How very typically American...

It wasn't supposed to be insulting, and if it came across in such a manner I apologise. I was merely referring to the fact that I have to live and breath within Communist China and therefore understand the goals and motivations of the Chinese government and people on a level you couldn't.

I apologise if it sounded harsh.
