Because we are good at getting ahead and staying ahead. The US is still the richest country with the strongest military by far. We're protected by 2 biggest natural barriers which are the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean. When we see another country rising in economy, we go and start a war. Making a killing by selling weapons while setting that country back by decades. Basically killing 2 birds with 1 stone.

The best answer there is..... Whenever there's a potential crises which will be felt at home, a war breaks out. And it's the same policy used by both parties. The same policies which our fortune 500 companies use

LMAO Russia...we have states in the US with a larger GDP than Russia. Are you really serious? China has no blue water navy so they are not an issue either. Nobody is lobbing nukes, it is bad for business, so we are pretty much untouchable and can prosecute war anywhere on the globe. Nobody else has that capability.
