If you type "which nation is a threat to world peace" into Google you'll get the obvious answer. That would be America of course. We're the big bad guys out running amuck in foreign lands.

If peace is the absence of war, then any nation willing to defend itself is a threat to world peace IMO.

hmm...I guess youd have to say "which country has invaded the most countries lately"

or.."which countries have blatantly lied to their own people to start wars"

I guess you'd have to consider which countries don't fight at all. After all war is peace

I'm not sure that a "nation" would even qualify. I would, however, consider the widespread groups of peoples who claim to be Muslims, yet foment terror, as valid candidates. These range from the Middle East to the Philippines to Indonesia to Sudan to . . .

China doesn't need to wage war in the traditional sense. They have the numbers and the smarts to succeed economically using other means. North Korea? I think they just know how to extort money and aid from us. Iran? No. They are too divided over how to run their country right now. Too many of them are against the imams.

The USA. Why?

The majority party running the USA isn't willing to trade it's freedom for "peace at any price". The USA is willing and able to step in and knock down adversaries before they get strong enough to overwhelm us.

There are many in this country who think this is a bad thing. They deserve to push a plow behing a Chinese mule! Or become a necessary death in Allah's cause to rid the world of infidels.

This isn't the world peace I'm looking for.
