> at no point in nato's history was the entire nato ever a conventional threat to russia. i remember watching a video of fucking khrushchev saying how the soviets wanted a more powerful army than nato and china combined. why? because they're sandwiched between both, retard. imagine if america was physically bordered right now by russia and china. everything would change. we were threatened even by little cuba. let alone mexico(monroe doctrine).    > why was it so damn profitable for everyone to pick the americans over the soviets? because we had more resources/markets, retard. we are a naval power because we have literally the best fucking geography in the entire fucking world, and can spend more on our navy because we aren't threatened by land. we also started out way ahead of everyone else.
