“If America isn’t in charge of the world then someone else will be,” said the idiot.
LOL, that would be me :D The power trip called race for world domination is not a partnership or tango as you try to describe it though — anarchy collapses the moment mob realize there are only “meek dumbasses” out there, and a gang of 20–30 folks who don’t mind killing and stealing can terrorize a city of 30–50K for many years (saw it happen). It’s called fight for territory ;)
Another LOL (slightly cynical) — W. Churchill. Honestly people should read some history and how he was one of the causes of the massacre at Gallipoli during WWI (ca. 250K each on both sides) which didn’t solve anything in the end. Hero my ass.
