america is the only western nation whose wolf side still not tamed yet, reason is simple, america never suffered much from wars, the whole casulty from all foreign wars were fewer than its own civil war. and nowadays against enemies, excluding china and russia, is msotly a computer game with almost zero human loss, really like the saying:

谈笑间，樯橹灰飞烟灭

foreign pressure? come on, israel now is doing the way worse stuff and not just get away with it, get bettter in standings with neigbors!

th eonly thing to hold back is american own conscience, but juding from all, dont cant on it, definitely not enough.

one example i already said ebfore the meek reaction to trump mentioning 1798 law.

another is again trump, recent spat with cnaada, which is probably the most loyal ally ( or tie with UK), yet whole america, includign the strongest trump critic, shrugged the 51st state stuff totally! think again the late political commentator ‎John McLaughlin prediction " 2050 canada part of USA", who doesnt want a bid land with minimal people? especailly coupled with global warming!

american do have a few pacifists, but all marginalized, to such an extent that no covert action needed to sabotage htem ( except maybe some thing before 2020 south carolina democratic primaries )

now its toally safe, sanders can vent whatever words, no 1 cares. j sachs and m moore the same.

thta's why every chinese, or TW peopel,no matter where resides, need to worry the war scenario serioulsy.
