    They already attacked Iran without official declaration of war. That orange bastard wants to get Bagram back even though the Taliban would just laugh and let the Chinese take it.

    Any fascist government requires the need for constant conflict and scapegoats for which to keep itself existing to reign. This includes even threatening to invade countries with punitive military campaigns. Or punishing certain states for “disloyalty” and growling to send troops and cops to “occupy” them.

        Of course not a neighbor but needs enemies to justify its existence. If he can order that, he might as well launch a strike upon Mexico.

          Nazi Germany had a bad geographical location. Strong powers to the east and west, including the UK as unsinkable aircraft carrier and staging ground for invasion. The USA has none of these issues. It’s surrounded by big oceans and militarily weak neighbors. A naval invasion of the USA is basically impossible.

          The USA can do whatever they want in all countries in the Americas. Not even a worldwide coalition could stop that.

          The USA could invade and annex Mexico and Canada quite easily.

          The USA can also afford to intervene military across the globe, get stuck in a quagmire for years, and it doesn’t endanger their control over their own country.
