Sailors, family members and distinguished visitors listen as US President Donald Trump speaks during the commissioning ceremony.

From the realist point of view, you are wrong....The only way war can be averted is when there is Balance of power or (from the liberalist point of view) an Hergemon......The USA is serving in both capacity.

i see all this big nations as predators preying on smaller nations, they wont fight the war on their soil, eg, let's USA and Russia, none of the two nations would invade the other, yet they are seeking for blood, on whose soil? on smaller nations.
i dont know why, i hate anything fight in any form, its been long i fought someone, and God knows I'm not ready to do such irrespective of the provocation.
