We could be like Panama (although, we do use the threat of our bombs to protect their canal), but there are likely real consequences that involve eventual large-scale violence if the USA just abandons...
These are all hypothetical reasons to engage in offensives, and there are very good arguments that USA's constant aggression and expansion is what is leading to this current period of large scale violence.
How many terrorists did we create after 2 decades of bombing the Middle East? What do we have to show for it? Are we safer now? More prosperous?
Nobody is fucking with China, do they sign bombs in their propaganda? You can flex on the world stage without committing atrocities
