What saddens me is that the U.S. could have been the complete opposite.
After WWII, the modern day version of carrier strike groups could have been made more numourous and larger. But instead of just patrolling chunks of the ocean for no goddamn reason, the MOMENT a country’s armed forces cross into a neighboring country that agressor country gets obliterated by the strike group in that location.
In turn, the US could never seek to expand its borders, and would remain neutral in all future conflict.
Sure this would have pissed Russia off, but look at China - other than their childish problem losing Taiwan and Hong Kong (RIP) they probably wouldn’t have had a problem with it.
Hell, the US DEMONSTRATED the capability to do this with the first Gulf War.
