The US can be one of several strong military powers and has proven at least mostly to be a benign military superpower when given that position (late 1940's to 1950's).

History shows that most of the time there are two or three competing military superpowers in play. Until the 19th century, these were regional in nature rather than global, the exceptions being Spain and Britain. What happens is the two sides vie for power using proxies and allies until things come to a head and a major war ensues. In the three-way, if the winner is the binary power, the stronger of the two will then consume the weaker.

I asked my friend who passed away long time ago about the Vietnam War. He was there protesting. I asked him what was the reason for the war.

Know what he said?

"It was politics." The Communists told America to fight them in Vietnam. And the rest is history. Now we see the result in Korea.

No, you're just really that fucked up. You're a Trump supporter yet you bitch about the fucking elite. Pull your head out of your ass and get some fresh air.

Besides, you didn't even finish a 16 question quiz. Is it because you're just a loudmouthed loser and a quitter?

There's no misleading because there's no wrong answer. You're looking at it like a math problem where there's only one correct answer. This, like the personality test, is to reveal tendencies. Stop reading too much into it. Go with your gut on tests like this.

You need to watch this documentary. It's spooky how close we were to an all out nuclear war. This Russian guy was smart and intuitive enough to feel that something was wrong. He was right. It was a glitch in the computer system (it being a glitch is debatable).


It's the stuff that Dr. Strangelove and other movies are made of.

Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov (Russian: Станисла́в Евгра́фович Петро́в; 7 September 1939 – 19 May 2017) was a lieutenant colonel of the Soviet Air Defence Forces who played a key role in the 1983 Soviet nuclear false alarm incident.[1] On 26 September 1983, three weeks after the Soviet military had shot down Korean Air Lines Flight 007, Petrov was the duty officer at the command center for the Oko nuclear early-warning system when the system reported that a missile had been launched from the United States, followed by up to five more. Petrov judged the reports to be a false alarm,[2] and his decision to disobey orders, against Soviet military protocol,[3] is credited with having prevented an erroneous retaliatory nuclear attack on the United States and its NATO allies that could have resulted in a large-scale nuclear war which could have wiped out half of the population of the countries involved. An investigation later confirmed that the Soviet satellite warning system had indeed malfunctioned. Because of this incident, Petrov is often credited as having "saved the world"

That's because there are too many superficial, ignorant, and generally low quality people like you voting for them.

No, not exactly. The Communists in N. Vietnam wanted American support to kick the French out. Ho Chi Mein actually came to the US during and shortly after WW 2 asking for assistance. He was turned away because he was Communist. At the time the West (and the US) saw communism as a monolithic bloc of political thinking rather than individuals espousing an ideology and not always in agreement.

What started as a war of independence from the French got the US involved in a minor way until LBJ stupidly used the fabricated Gulf of Tonkin incident to get the US into a full-blown war. The Soviets saw it as a chance to drain US economic and political power so they supported the North. China stayed out for the most part and the N. Vietnamese really didn't want them involved.
What the Soviets failed to see was the US had the economic wherewithal to fight that war without taking a major hit. At the same time, the Soviet focus on it, along to some degree the Chinese, meant that Communist uprisings in Malaya, the Philippines, Indonesia, and elsewhere in SE Asia all failed due to lack of any sponsor support. The Vietnam way sucked up all of the resources the Soviets could muster.
So, local politics there effected the larger politics of East v. West.

The same goes in the Middle East with Israel v. Arabs.

A shorter lived version was Pakistan v. India.

I'm already familiar with his story. Another scary moment was JFK ordering US troops into the field during the Berlin Crisis. This included several hundred platoons deployed with the M29 Davy Crockett 'nuclear hand grenade.' Well, that's about what it amounted to. Three enlisted guys in a jeep with one of these out in the middle of nowhere worried that the Russians are coming. What could possibly go wrong?
