The life I've lived would be my experience. I have had zero direct interactions with any of these enemies. Enemies to the US aren't necessarily enemies to me. Should I be forced to inherit these enemies?

I agree with self defense. However, I'm not sure this is always the case.

Is that perhaps a direct result of the USG protecting you from them?

I've been to Russia and China and didn't get lynched. Didn't notice my country providing bodyguards.

And I’ve been in an actual warzone in an enemy country, that doesn’t change that they’re enemies

Possibly. How do you propose we prove otherwise?

[tekknik → cmilton]

Potentially listen to the threats coming from all 3 countries?

Do you believe nuclear or conventional weapons choose only military targets when they explode? Do you believe standing in any major city that you are safe from any kind of bomb? Or are we going to play the game of “it hasn’t happened yet”? Perhaps the US military should just lay down their weapons cause there’s clearly no threat?
