Into google and the 3rd result was that ;)

"Global war on terror "
In other words, the US curtailing itself.
I did not say the US does not go to war. I merely said, call a thing what it is.
In terms of empires, compared to its power, the US empire is the most peaceful empire in the history of mankind.
Imagine the Roman Empire, The British, with the power the US has. Imagine any other empire in history.
The entire world would be directly, ruled by the US!
Now look at the US again.
i want some of whatever the hell it is you're smoking.

If peace means quietly sitting in the corner while havoc is wrought around you, then no, America isn't very peaceful.
and please, citation very much needed on the assertion that China is more warlike than the US.
In regards to China, I said it was less peaceful, which seems obviously true to me. China has ongoing territorial disputes with ever country close to it, which extends to raising man-made islands out of the sea to push back the sea borders of its neighbors. It believes it outright owns two neighboring countries, occupying one of them, and constantly threatening to conquer the other. A large amount of its northern region used to be Mongolia until the government one day sent millions of Chinese people to live there, and just redrew its maps. As a country it was also founded upon a revolution that included arguably the most brutal mass slaying of civilians in history.
The US fights more wars, but China is far more belligerent imo, and engages in outright territorial conquest every opportunity it gets.
My turn: I am trying to find a list of warlords and oppressive regimes who have destabilized other countries, invaded and subjugated countries under false pretenses caused millions of deaths etc. etc.
