Almost 100 million people died from WWI and WWII in wars the U.S. did NOT start. But okay, the world learned their lesson and now the U.S. is the troublemaker, trying to get another 100 million killed. Hasn't happened yet. But I agree with you the U.S. gets a lot of people killed for no real good reason. It is very upsetting. But NOTHING on par to the death and destruction Europe and Asia brought on itself.

If China believe Sri Lanka should be controlled for geopolitical reasons, who are you going to call? You think you can defend yourself against China? India will be a super power soon, will you become their vassal state? Or will you go with China? Maybe U.S./Japan? You believe all Sri Lankans will go one way or the other?

You need to read more. You need to think this stuff out. I don't see that anything has really changed in geopolitics. Sure, there are technological differences, but not fundamental changes to how nations compete with each other and sometimes go to war.

There is never a clear cut villain. All have responsibility. Yes, the U.S. was complicit in WWI and II too!

Today the U.S. has more responsibility. I agree with you. But to blame everything on the U.S. What does that solve? It's never worked in the past so why would it work today?

If all superpowers disbanded their military today how can you be so certain you wouldn't end up a prison island for India tomorrow?
