You had your chance in 1950, against a very weak China. And you still failed.
Our objective was preventing SK from being wiped out. Not wiping out China. Remember what Eisenhower did against Arthur?

In a few years I meant. To quote from Spiderman 'with great power comes great responsibility'
Would you not feel obliged to stop a murderous dictator killing innocents?
Supposedly we could have stayed out of WW2, not gone bankrupt and kept most of our empire. But I'm not sure I'd have been okay with letting Hitler go.
I'm afraid Britannia no longer rules the waves, our new carriers aren't ready until 2025 or something. They do look pretty tasty though.

You failed to crush Vietnam.

Beat me to it.
You will become a superpower. People become jealous of rich, powerful nations. You may have no choice but to fight.It is not our responsibility to be a superpower. We don't want it and we don't need it.
To know why, try explaining to a poor Chinese farmer, why his tax money is being spent on waging a war halfway across the world, in a country that he can't even point out on a map.
America is a developed country, China is still developing. America can afford to spend excess money on being the "world policeman" without hurting the average standard of living too much. China on the other hand, is still a developing country, we need to use our money to help our own people first.
Plus, our policy is "no interference in other countries internal affairs". So being a superpower is clearly out of the question, even in 10-20 years time.

Wrong, America is a developed country, and "borrowed" a lot of money to finance its endless wars, that's why American can afford to keep being "world policeman" without sacrifice the average standard of living. But even the limitless borrowing is coming to an end very soon.America is a developed country, China is still developing. America can afford to spend excess money on being the "world policeman" without hurting the average standard of living too much.

nooooo, you stole my line.... we have a score to settle later Kidding aside, I don't agree with you that the UK could stay out of World War II if she wanted to, since that Hitler was already planning to invade Great Britain with something like "operation sealion". If it was not for the invasion of Soviet Union, many things could have changed, probably including the Germany invasion of England, Ireland, etcs.
you dont get the joke do you. the US will feed you to us. and we won't just retaliate against you we will invade you and turn india into greater tibet.
then we will strap every indian captive with 10kg of explosives and then push them off of airplanes over all US military bases in the asia pacific.
with over 1 billion+ indians we will have a potential endless supply of human bombs
I'm pretty sure that we could have stayed out if we wanted to. But I'm glad we didn't^What about the treaty between UK and Belgium? or the defense agreement between UK and France? Remember that UK stayed out of war until invasion of Poland, and because of the "Anglo-Polish" military alliance, she had to declare war on Germany along with France.
