A country without a military isn't a country for very long

We're not talking about "a country without a military." We're talking about the american war machine, possibly the greatest engine of destruction and misery the world has ever known.

If the US can't exist without the atrocities it has been using its military to commit for the last century then sure, it should not exist. I suspect there are other paths, however.

US military is the best thing that have happened to the world, and is one of the main reasons for the decades of general peace and prosperity that happened since WW2 globally.

And what do you think will happen in the world without US? China and Russia would love that.
