Yeah because the USSR and the Allies squished some of the fascists during the most brutal and widespread war in history, then sat staring at each other with their fingers hovering over the big red button for fifty years. Now the USSR is gone, fascism is once again on the rise, and we’ve seen the first large-scale conventional war between modern armies in a very long time. So toss that “most peaceful time in history” shit in the bin, that era is over and we are full steam in to “man made horrors” and the cool zone.
debate broing a bit here but i didnt mention those cause they were during the cold war and pax americana to me is the period after the cold war, ‘end of history’ and all that.
need you to send me ur full name and ssn (or whatever your country’s identification numbers are) so I can get you to a reeducation camp when we win, to save your soul ASAP
No no, please, we can put these skills to good use! I fall apart emotionally during debate because of childhood trauma, maybe we need some debate bros to fill in the rhetorical gaps left by people like me.
i mean let alone all the coups and like grenada for instance…

Wasn’t most Soviet “foreign” intervention in Warsaw Pact countries or in support of those liberating themselves from colonialist powers?
Gee that sure sounds unpeaceful to me.
All of it, afaik. Even in Afghanistan they were called in by the very fragile and not very legitimate communist government.
