On March 29, General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that they wanted to be the boss of the United States, and whoever was better than him would beat him.
Here are the exact words of the Chief of Staff of the US Army:
"If peace between the United States, China, and Russia is to continue, the United States must remain the most powerful country in the world." Both China and Russia have the ability to pose a threat to U.S. national security, but a war with either side is neither inevitable nor imminent, and it will be very difficult to have a war with China and Russia at the same time. ”
What makes the United States always want to dominate the world?
More than 200 years after the founding of the United States, at first, they wantonly hunted and killed Indians, exterminated them, and set off a century-long westward expansion movement (an aggressive act of the United States to expand its territory and annex land) before developing the western region of the United States.
Looking back at the history of the United States, we know that the United States after independence basically started by war. At the time of independence, the United States was not strong, and the powerful at that time was the so-called "empire of the sun never sets" English (Britain), at that time the United States was economically backward and was still a sales market and raw material supply place for British industrial products. The United States won the victory in the Second American-British War in 1812~1814, consolidating the political independence of the United States and finally removing the threat of Britain trying to regain its domination of the United States.
Of course, the development of the United States is also inseparable from their country's own industrial revolution, the end of the 18th century, the beginning of the 19th century ~ the 60s of the 19th century, the United States established the historical process of the factory system based on machine production, also known as the American industrial revolution. However, the real rapid rise of the United States came after World War I, during the First World War, when European countries were in dire straits, and their financial resources and weapons supplies were far from keeping up with the speed of use, and they had to buy weapons and loans from the United States, which was not devastated by the war, while the United States made a lot of money. When a country has money, it naturally has capital to research more advanced weapons.
From the "little boy" that the United States threw itself at Japan in World War II, it can be seen that the United States was already at the top of the world at that time, whether it was economic or military. In modern times, in the last century, the United States has fought countless wars, from the known Gulf War, although it was caused by the leaders of Iraq at the time, but in any case, the United States benefited a lot from this war, Iraq is rich in resources, and this war has also made the world understand that the strength of the United States is more incomparable, and the means of war are more modern. The war was a wake-up call to all nations and a clear understanding of the gap with the United States. In addition, there are some wars in Libya, Syria and so on, and the United States knows that one family is the only one, and no one can deal with him, so they treat small countries with rich resources, wantonly ravage, and use the excuse to seize resources.
It is precisely the long-term strength of the United States and its long-term standing on the top of the world that makes this country not want to be surpassed, and they enjoy the superiority of stepping on the soles of others.
To put it nicely:
They are accustomed to their own strength, and suddenly there are countries that surpass them, and they can't stand it;
Not well said:
That is the long-term strength that makes them arrogant;
Or the long war has left them without a trace of pity, treating their country as an ant, and they have lost their hearts;
Or maybe they know how many dirty things they have done, and they worry that other countries will rise above the United States, and the United States will be smelly rats crossing the streets and everyone will shout and beat.
Does the United States not understand that there is no difference between strong and weak in the face of nuclear weapons?
