    Ah the “Fine, I’ll takey ball and go home” arguement.

    Referring to WW2 that was self preservation as much as anything else, and it is not like they got poorer from it. The US made bank after WW2.

    The US called upon NATO after September 9th and everyone came. So that also shows something, but I guess that does not count.

    And now the US is gearing up for their “inevitable” conflict with China. But for that they will need their allies too. So by showing your allies you are unreliable, countries might start making other choices. You know, self preservation.

      Ww2 was because Japan attacked the United States and in brilliant move, Germany declared war.

      If we go to war with China, we don’t need the help of others. They need our help.

      It’s why Australia is asking for us to build bases. They know they can’t take China.

      Japan at least is taking it seriously and arming up for war. They beat China once
