One of the most overlooked insights in human history is this:

The United States has bombed -=itself=- with nuclear weapons over -=900=- times!

Has any other nation ever posed even half this threat to our nation or population?

Has -anyone- carried out greater carnage upon us that we have?

Simply: No, they have not.

In other words, we are far more dangerous to ourselves than Russia, Al-Qaida, Iran, Iraq, China, and Pakistan combined. Not just dangerous, either: actively attacking, 24-7, with attacks that permanently affect every living being on our soil (instead of just soldiers, or just humans) not for a single moment of attack, but for endless generations.

So, apparently, in order to ‘be powerful’ you have to attack yourself so severely that the whole idea inverts — essentially, your own mind decides to destroy you with your own hands.
