[Alberta's Child]

There's a reason why the U.S. has never declared war since World War II.

When you declare war, your intention is to defeat an enemy state -- even to the point of obliterating it.

The U.S. has no intention of ever "defeating an enemy state" these days. Now, we are a global empire whose primary purpose is to occupy these countries -- which means obliterating them defeats the whole purpose of going to war against them in the first place.

[ClearCase_guy]

We do not occupy countries.
We do not loot countries.
We have no colonies.

If this is an “empire” we really suck at it and should open a history book and find out how it’s supposed to be done.
