If you were to ask what is the largest, most powerful air force in the world, it should come as no surprise that the answer is the US Air Force.

But what if you were to ask what is the second largest air force in the world? You might expect the answer to be China, maybe Germany, etc. But you would be wrong. The second largest air force in the world is the US Navy.

This is why it's so important that every other country view the US as a threat. It gets even worse if the US were to ally itself with another threat, such as Russia.

Fortunately, all of the developed countries could start a military buildup under the guise of "pulling their own weight"/independence from the bloc without raising alarms among the US fascists.

Strangely, I think allying with Russia actually reduces the threat from the US.

Sort of like if you have two great employees on your team and you hire an idiot you go from getting two employees worth of work down to 1.5 since now they have to spend more time trying to train the idiot and/or fix his mistakes.
