Maybe. I don't know. But you know, what is purpose and what is cause and what is effect? We need not to mix those. Just USA being scared by all? Because USA will always act? Yes, it's force. It's good for USA.
But bigger question is, what countries think of USA? As they protect USA, or they want to come to your home and destroy?? Israel is tough. Because all know, Israel want to survive. In Israel. Israel not going to outer place and impose his wishes. USA does.
So, where is not scared of USA, and where's very very scared, but still doing because
no choice they see? One thing, we read in news, and think, oh no, USA is weak, nobody is afraid anymore. Well, in past years, was USA so acting as today everywhere? What is level of trust to USA today and before?
So, super force isn't always guarantee of submission! Think of Vietnam, think of Northen Korea etc. I don't mean to say those are good forces. Just if you push somebody into corner and make them think, Kaput, wait for mouse to become as cat!
And thank you brother to be talking so kind to me.

Sorry if I sound angry or stubborn. Not really. I love USA and all countries, as its people. I pray for best, so that for Christ to be inside all hearts!!! And for USA election I pray all the time that the most holy will of God will be fulfilled!!!
