Dangerous Ambition

Dangerous Ambition
We are a proud country, we have pull through the greatest war this World has ever seen. Our armed forces are up there with the best in the world our economy is back in gear and our population continues to out grow the rest in the world. We have been more then victorious in battle, taking on the top countries and triumphantly throwing them out of North America. All this renewed power and victory leads to several things, pride, international influence but above all it leads to ambition. There is a lot of talk about taking over Russia, Indonesia, Hungary. About annihilating these countries, taking them out completely. France, Colombia, UK should pay for their hostility!!! Is the prevalent feeling among many here in America.
We are a powerful nation capable of doing anything we really set our minds to, we have the military/economic power to back that up but such ambitious ideas or goals is dangerous. Our enemies have waged an imperialistic war, one whose goal has been power, riches and oppression. Why is it that we should go down the same path? Many will say that we aren't fighting for power or gold...that may be true in the beginning of our conquests but power ultimately corrupts people. Ambition can be a positive thing but too much of anything can be negative.
Discernment
Should we continue to wage war against those who did so much damage to us? Of course we should, we must not let them breath or even hope of renewing their strength but we must be guided with discernment. What is and is not necessary, how far to go, how deep to drive. Too much and this war turns into an imperialistic one. Our goals must be set wisely and not ambitiously. High oil, high grain, high iron, high wood, regions with these resources will tempt us, they will almost beckon us to drive deeper to take more. We must have a steady mind and not waver from our set path of liberating the oppressed countries around the world. Its very easy to go from the liberator to the oppressor.
Its important to be seeking justice and not revenge, revenge knows no limits, it sole goal is to create suffering and destruction. Justice on the other hand is the responsible act of implementing on our enemies circumstances that will keep them from hurting us in the future. That is what we do on the social level, if a man robs a bank he is sent to jail in order that he may not have the ability to commit that crime again. Lets put aside the childish feeling of revenge, lets instead pursue righteous justice. It is the responsible thing to do, it is the right thing to do. Lets set an example to the world, making the actions we take now benchmarks for the world tomorrow.

Editor's Corner - Heritage
It is important to teach new citizens, and to remind ourselves, of our heritage:
# of why and how we became a nation,
# of the basic principles and documents upon which the country was founded,
# of what it took to achieve today's standard of living,
# of the mistakes we've made and,
# of the individuals and events that have played major roles in shaping the country.
Appreciating one's heritage is a prerequisite for taking actions to sustain it. Being aware of our heritage helps us to appreciate what we have and to see our shortcomings so they can be addressed.

You say 'righteous justice' and not revenge, but by your description, they are the same.
There not, revenge is seeking payback,eye for an eye etc. Righouts justice is keeping our enemies from having the ability to repeat their offenses.
Do you know that you attacked Russia, France first? That's why they could attack you with MPPs. I would say "righteous justice" was on their side.🙂
Revenge is the never-ending cycle of violence we see in Israel/Palestine in RL. Justice is a code of righting wrongs, and has limits. Let's not become the next empire to rise and quickly fall; it would show that we have learned nothing from our own experience with it.
I'll paraphrase another famous saying: conflicts do not build character, they reveal it.
Hoo-rah.. Fight for freedom!
That's all we need. After that, let's end this war.
Lets beat peace into submission, Russia,Indo,Hungry,France Colombia,and the UK.lets take it to them and not stop until they sign an agreement for at least 6 months of no aggression towards another country (only in defense of their ORIGINAL regions). They must turn over all occupied territory to their rightful owner, and if they dont then face total destruction.
Nice Article Nero 😁 great job \o/
