The world is growing and evolving. major nations just done take over other countries for conquest. You don’t see any other major European powers like France, Germany and England trying to take over themselves or other countries that is in the past. You don’t see Japan anymore trying to take over China or even China trying to invade and take over Japan. Other than Backwards Islamic societies and Russia these things are just very rare. The world will be a much better and safer place when Russia learns the lessons that it will eventually learn.
You have zero knowledge of how Europe rolls. Belgium still runs the Congo. France used to run a half dozen African nations. Both countries installed corrupt leaders and for pennies on the dollar raped their natural resources since the early 1950s.
Everything is nice as long as the Intelligence agencies and State Dept run things, but we use troops when the DiploSpies fail us.
Every place overseas you find US Troops you find failed or failing diplomacy, with the exception of NATO or Pacific WWII Footprint.

I think we have found John Kerry’s FR handle.
