Americans and Wars

 






Vanessa: Look, the U.S. supplied weapons to Ukraine, but does anyone remember that Ukraine gave up its entire nuclear arsenal back in the '90s?
  Bottom line: now they’re stuck depending on other countries for defense.

William: Look, that just proves how much the so-called "West" prioritized peace. Once Ukraine regained its independence, the Russians might have felt uneasy with their arsenal—just like South Korea feels about North Korea’s nukes today. Even though they didn't have to, since the Russians were broke at the time, the West conceded as much as possible. Just look at the Germans, the British, the Italians... they simply stopped investing in their militaries. 

  The Germans went so far as to trust the Russians that they shut down all their nuclear power plants.
Meanwhile, Putin—claiming he was "protecting" himself from who-knows-what—kept building up a massive military, just like the Chinese. 
  In 2014, he did the unthinkable and invaded Crimea just because he felt like it, after already invading Georgia.

   Americans aren’t stupid. 
  Alone, they’re no match for China and Russia combined. Trump, in his own blunt but effective way, gave the Europeans a wake-up call. 
  Authoritarian nations are arming themselves to subjugate democracies. 
   If they want war, that’s what they’ll get. 
  It’s "survival of the fittest" now.

Vanessa: Oh boy, it’s almost touching to see such a delusion over your "Uncle Sam" idol, but you’re getting worked up over nothing again. 
  The real issue is the nuclear treaty that the U.S. actually didn't sign. 
  If the entire—and I mean entire—U.S. economy is sustained by financing wars and death, guess what their logic is gonna be?

William: That’s nonsense from someone who doesn’t know history. 
  Did Americans fight the British for independence? Sure, but how many other nations did the same against their colonizers? We fought the Portuguese here in Brazil. 
  Did Americans fight "indigenous peoples"?
  Brazilians did too. 
  Americans vs. Mexicans? 
  Brazilians vs. Paraguayans. 
  The American Civil War? 
  Brazil had the Constitutionalist Revolution...

   Before 1930, the U.S. military was weaker than Portugal’s. 
   They only started arming up when they realized the Japanese wanted to control the entire Pacific.
