Modern Western civilization has extraordinary empathy compared to its power. This is also arguably its greatest weakness. With the nuclear bomb, America could have subjugated every nation on Earth with ease. Hitler and Stalin would certainly have done so. Instead, America helped rebuild Germany and Japan! There is no historical precedent for a nation with so much power helping, rather than destroying, its defeated enemies.

@elonmusk “With the nuclear bomb, America could have subjugated every nation on Earth with ease. “ ….. but thank god for Russia and MAD.
@elonmusk So you think the West is merciful because it hasn't nuked the world? If someone holds a gun to your head without shooting you and you do everything he says, would you describe that person as merciful?
@elonmusk U.S. general when Vietnam refuses to be subjugated Elon Elon Elon
And yet the American left believes America is the great Satan of the world and because of our past history with slavery we owe black people reparations, ignoring how the Republican party was built to end slavery which they did with 600K white men dying to get it done, and they ignore the slavery in other countries to this day, and the left thinks our wealth should be split up among the poorer countries as penance for all the bad America has done ignoring things like not ruling the world with nukes as you said, and the freeing of Europe in WW2 and all of the great doctors and hospitals we have that have cured so many diseases etc. They see the opposite of what we see and come hell or high water they plan on burning it all down.
@elonmusk I have zero empathy left for Ukraine and our politicians kids working there!
@elonmusk Let's be honest, though, the United States' Marshall Plan to help rebuild West Germany wasn't pure largesse, but was instead largely about trying to prevent Soviet expansion into Western Europe. It served a strategic purpose for the United States at the outset of the Cold War.
@elonmusk The Mongol Empire was the largest empire in human history. Its achievements were destruction and death. It was the worst colonizers ever!! In DEI’s eyes, it must be a BIPOC victim of white supremacy…
@elonmusk Hell, we are inviting our enemies over and paying their way now
@elonmusk Your worst and dumbest tweet ever. With greetings from Germany.
