FTFYDear sir, this is not Commiefornia, we actually have standards here.

I consider it obligatory.
America's definitely a bully but when you're a superpower you have to be one or the masses start plotting because they want to be one.
Why is it obligatory?
He's not defending people though; just the opposite, in fact, and for his own personal gratification. Because he enjoys being an asshole. Or did you mean that "we" should defend people, and "he" was a typo?Or you just need the capacity to kick shit in to keep them at bay...and if your empire has moral concerns to be able to act on them. Both the American and British Empires went on moral crusades after all.
Because he believes it is, that kind of makes that obligatory to him. He can obviously explain his reasons, but I figure I should defend him, because I think that is enough. Even if you disagree with his stated reason, he does have grounds on personal belief. And I do think he should defend people even if we have mixed feelings about them.
Regardless of the justification when the moral crusade is conducted the ones affected can feel bullied. There's no way around it.Or you just need the capacity to kick shit in to keep them at bay...and if your empire has moral concerns to be able to act on them.

I'm still living in your head rent free then, huh? Glad to see the nightmares haven't stopped.I cannot say if the US is a bully, as it is entirely dependant on what POTUS/timeframe/situation the accusation is in reference to.
However, I can say with certainty that Ship is.
Dude is such an petty asshole that he repeatedly got told to knock this shit off in the old SB PM. He was constantly shitting up the PMs by picking pedantic, often pointless fights, just for the sake of it. He cares not for anyone but himself, his own entertainment, and thinks he's so 'manly' for acting this way.

Tough shit but there you have it when you get leaders who decide to get the boys to stick their dicks in a blender for some cause.

There's a reason why so much of the US despises Californians and LA in particular.I don't think ship is a bully.
As I said in California people talk like him all of the time, and its not meant to cause offense. Debating with him is a lot like living in LA again, only like I said he's actually nicer and more polite then a lot of the people I knew in LA. By my cultural standards he's actually pretty polite and urbane.
It's because of the democrats and homeless. Everyone loved California before they took over.There's a reason why so much of the US despises Californians and LA in particular.
No offense, but all that tells me is that California is filled with assholes; which isn't exactly news.I don't think ship is a bully.

The world is filled with people you'd be afraid of. Better stay in the cave where it's safe.No offense, but all that tells me is that California is filled with assholes; which isn't exactly news.
What are you; twelve? Seriously, there comes a point where it stops being aggravating, and just becomes sad; and you reached that point quite a while ago. You're like some schoolyard bully trying to establish dominance in the one part of his life that he can, before he has to go home to his abusive parents. Or maybe you're just a sociopath; regardless, you clearly need some sort of psychological help.The world is filled with people you'd be afraid of. Better stay in the cave where it's safe.
"How dare you not rebuild our country after we started **** and hot smashed."
America not pulverizing every one of it's enemies into a fine powder is a thousand times what you'd get from anyone else, what arrogance it is to demand more. It's generosity, our own moral need, that causes us to give more, give, and what do we get for it? Nothing but more bitter seething.
I believe I have already mentioned that it is specifically those who have thrown our generosity in our face (so everyone but... Japan and SK, essentially) that no longer deserve it, if that wasn't clear from that one paragraph in isolation.We do get quite a bit from it, it's just indirect and takes decades to happen. We invested enormous amounts in reconstructing Germany and Japan post-WWII; the dividend for that totally undeserved mercy and generosity is every bit of business we now do with those nations, every bit of cooperation, every bit of technology and engineering they've had a hand in since, every time they've been our ally.
