I've been poking round and in the modern era the USA appears to be thought of as being the most warlike nation.
I wouldn't be surprised if the results are biased. Apparently the most warlike/expansionist race is the Anglo-Saxons Go us!

I don't count Georgia, Chechnya, Czechoslovakia or Hungary either, because they were even smaller |

Let's face it, human beings are very warlike people. We have the ability to destroy our planet with our weapons but our social skills haven't developed well enough to resolve major conflicts without resorting to war. We go to war for some of the most ridiculous reasons. "What? They have bigger penises than us! Bomb them."

One of them sad something like that - now wars will become impossible, as any preparations to them will be of no surprise. And another sad almost same thing, but he sought, that there will be no wars, because nations will become closer to one each other and as so they will prefer to talk, instead of using force to solve their problems. I become realy sad, when I realised how wrong those bright peoples, who helped humanity with their work so much, where. Quote:

Russia won second campaing in Chechnya. I've heard some very respected and skilled russian military says that Russia was close to win the first campaign, if Yeltsin wouldn't sign peace with guerillas. But I'm not sure if it is correct and if it was realy so. They also won war in South Osethia in 2008. 8 of august, a few days ago there was a day, when this war started, by the way.

But you are taking me out of context. When I said the USSR only used 3% of available manpower for Afghanistan, it means 97% were not used, which was a good thing |
