Is USA a global threat?

[ekinox]

-As you know after WWII,Usa became a superpower and started to dominate the world politics…When we look at the most of wars after WWII, we see that one of sides on the wars, is absolutely Usa.And US’s aggression is increasingly going on.

-Recently the Pentagon says China and Russia is greatest threat to USA. Accordingly they unveils Trump’s new nuclear weapons strategy.US will develop more usable warheads. Moscow has dismissed Washington's defense policy as "imperialist," while China said it represented a "Cold War mentality. And Trump is extremely willing on this topic.



-There are very much claims that US creates,supports and funding most of terrorist organizations all of the World.

-Not but what,US creates some secret military organizations (like Gladio) in even its allies’ armies. And Pentagon or CIA make military coups,revolts by these secret organizations all of the World.

-US makes many nations’ life miserable by economic sanctions and embargos.And it threatens the nations that criticises US’s politics.

-Usa dont acknowledge the international law. It assumes own as “rule maker” international arena.(like Jerusalem status resolution on UN)

-US killing millions of innocent people,invades their country and steals their natural riches.

And lots of things…
There is a search about the nations what think about USA in recent years..





What do you think about this topic? Is USA a global threat? (or for your country)

[grgur]

Well us had been a global threat since the cold war, that's hardly anything new
trump is being silly mentioning nuke since us and rf had been able to nuke anyone anywhere and everywhere for a while now, us still had a way larger deployment abilities so they are still the top dog.

At this point in time they still had supremacy but well, every nation that has an interest in hurting yours and ability to do so is a threat so this topic is kind of confusing/pointless.

Turks get at the moment a brainwash program about hostility of USA in their local media, because their Sultan is upset about US Syria politics.
Classic case of megalomania what seems to be infectious among politicians nowadays.

So.. we see the results here.

well, US was a global threat back when their pet Turkey decided to bark beside them back in korean war but I doubt any turk asked that question then yeah

[jordan_rudess]

I wouldn't say US is a threat to my country. We will see after the Act S.447 but for now still it isn't.
But it is certainly a threat to Middle East.

Any dominating hegemony is a threat for peace that's the nature of this matter, however US is the first global one. Would USSR win the cold war, would USSR take this place. Hence I don't want say OP is wrong, but his motives why he mentioned that are questionable.

We are friend and allies as far as we buy their overpriced weapons, see the last Patriot deal. Of course losing somebody who buys your shit is a bad business model.

Only in official sense. The way I see it's just one sided --> look visa thing

shit on the visa. They have their statistic according to them our citizen overstay the tourist visa time more frequently than others, that's all. Not because of immigration it's ridiculous low.
As tourist you get one without problems, of course as far as you aren't on their black list.

I'd say we pretty much agree on this matter

and yeahweapon deals with US are an unnecessary strain on other countries economies, even croatia since I believe we bougth few missle systems recently.

Ironically president eisenhoover warned against the stron weapon production lobby in US long ago and the reality of today's situation brought about largely by the insistance of that same weapons lobby and corrupt CIA interventions seems lost on many

Nonsense excuse. All other countries around us are free of this requirement and we should be too.

Yes, indeed, the increase in the sense of threat in a number of countries shown in Pew Research findings must be the result of an ongoing brainwash programme.

don't remind them on their history. It is forbidden to insult Turkishness.

There's a few things wroing with your list,
Firstly Trump is referring to America's problem of an ageing nuclear fleet, alot of our Nuclear missiles are now approaching 40 years old or more and we need to make sure to maintain, refurbish or replace them. He's also referring to our Nuclear postering. Most of our Nuclear fleet is positioned as to fight the Soviet Union, we still have defense networks for a missle originating from Poland, Estonia or Russia. Trump recognizes that the world has changed and we should focus our defence more around Iran, North Korea and China and to a lesser extent maybe Pakistan. It's not insult aggressive for the President to realize that the cold war is over and that new threats have emerged, and to revamp our arsenal to get prepaired for different threats that have emerged.

Evidence has shown that most terrorist organizations are funded or supported by Iran or Saudi Arabia. That more than 90% of all terrorist organizations are Islamic in origin. Remember when Trump wanted to ban the immigrants from you tries that sponsor terrorism.....he was called a racist.

Absolutely every nation on earth has its secret organizations or intelligence agencies that do things even to their own allies that they will never admit to? Do you know how many times we have caught German, French or British spies collecting Intel on the US. It's in every countries interest to know the internal workings of other nations, it helps them form their own policy and approach.

We don't go around issuing sanctions just because some nation criticizes us, if that were true, the only nations we could trade with would Isreal and maybe Australia. We place sanctions on nations after a major violation of international law like when Russia invaded Ukraine, we put sanctions, when Iran threatens to wipe Israel off the face of the world and "drive the jews into the sea" we put sanctions. When North Korea fires artillery at South Korean civilians....we put Sanctions. Almost every time we apply sanctions, it is with the entire UN, so that country has does something to piss off the world. If you think we are so aggressive, why not lobby for your country to impose sanctions on the US? See how long your economy holds up without American trade. Besides that, we are the strongest country in the world with a military capable of invading anyone ......yet when we have a problem with a country we use sanctions, UN resolutions and embargos instead of bombs and tanks to address the matter.

Of course the US obeys international law, we wrote international law, we were a founder of the UN and paved the way for a world community. Israel is a free and independent nation who's government is in Jerusalem, and thats the city they recognize as their capital. The United States is a free and independent nation who has the power to recognize Israels capital. We have the power to place the our embassy in their capital. The U.S. didn't violate any international law at all in doing this. It broke with tradition, but not the law. And tell me, why is your county allowed to select what city it has as a capital but Israel can't? Why is every other nation on earth allowed to place it's government anywhere in their territory it wants except israel?

This past line is just a straight lie....im not even going to try to debunk a flat out lie

Almost all of the countries on that chart have not only a peace treaty the US but are military allies, we pose zero threat to them. Nobody who thinks rationally belived the United States is going to invade France or Australia.

The reason these numbers have gone up is because for the first time since the cold war, we have a President with a set of balls, who doesn't fear the press, who isn't worried about political niceties and who is not afraid to unleash hell upon those who attack us, who is also agaisnt military intervention, whondoesnt want to start a new war or conflict. Our economy is booming again, wages are back up and the decline of American power that so many have waited for has been postponed.

If you need to have a global threat, look at China, they are building a massive military, claiming land that belongs to their neighbors, building Island in disputed waters and putting military bases on them, they are investing billions into draining the resources of Africa. Russia stole a peice of its neighbor and threatens to do the same to others, their military is constantly violating the territory of European states and they had the most active intervention in Syria. But Trumps tweets are more scary huh?

haha, yes....

USA with its foreign policies cannot be considered as always right, I have no idea why certain decisions have been made but in my opinion Islamic terrorism and nuts in North Korea are far more dangerous and Russia in our case.
