    Copy and paste the words of his that evidences what you have attributed to him above. And when you cant find anything, you to will realize you were just dashing for refuge in the next strawman of your own creation.

    Us and Australian history is the same, they both genocides the indigenous ppl and created a racist system that alienates indigenous ppl. Do you condemn this colonialism or nah?

    We share a very important characteristic in our national defense: a huge moat surrounding our nations.

    Try moving your invading force through South East Asia without anyone noticing. Try crossing 700km of ocean between Indonesia and Australia. And then you're in the top end! One of the most inhospitable regions on the Earth. Machinery rusts quicker, your vehicles will get bogged, your infantry will get diseases. Now walk 2600km through pure desert to get to the nearest major city.

    The US has that to a large degree as well. Canadians are unlikely to invade, you've just got Mexico and the West Indies to worry about. It makes a defensive position much more possible than if you lived in landlocked continental Europe. We have no need for standing armies, except to empire-build overseas.

    Empire build? Lol. I'm pretty sure US military action is provoked by primarily US interests. That is smart. It isnt about being nice or popularity. It is about maintaining power, security, and prosperity.
