You're still not getting it. It isn't about conquering places, it's about conquering peoples. Americans, Europeans, Asians, they don't give a shit. Anyone with two arms and two legs that isn't castrated or on 17 medications is what they call a "threat", to be "neutralized".

Americans got wise to this, which is why no one joins the military anymore. In any case, Americans are gonna get left alone for a little bit because the current objective is to make sure China never amounts to anything.
