It's important to have a powerful enemy, otherwise why would the US pay for an $800 billion per year military?
now US need to tell that cuba or mexico is the powerful enemy idk
Lol Cuba can't even afford bullets for military training.
if they pretend to have training, it's enough to be more powerful than russia lol
"To preserve our empire" is the honest subtextual answer.
We have always been at war with Eurasia.
