Last month, the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American
History removed a panel referencing former President Donald Trump’s two impeachments from an exhibition on the American presidency. In a
statement to CNN, the Smithsonian Institution confirmed that the
decision, first reported by the Washington Post, had been made in
response to pressure from the Trump administration. As you may know,
Trump was impeached by Nancy Pelosi during the Biden administration.
Meanwhile, China, Russia, North Korea, and other authoritarian regimes
around the world are demanding copyright fees from the Trump
administration for copying their tactics.

First, let me mention that I'm neither a democrat nor a republican. I
prefer to do my thinking for myself rather than subscribe to a packaged
set of values and beliefs.

In most of these wars, the U.S. was on the offense, only some of the
wars were defensive. However, this also leaves out covert CIA operations
and other acts which could be considered war.
Leaving those operation out however, this still means that for 222 out
of 239 years – or 93% of the time – America has been at war. We can
quibble with the exact numbers, but that America has been at war the
majority of its existence is undebatable. Indeed, most military
operations since World War II have been launched by the U.S. and
American military spending dwarfs the rest of the world put together.
Polls (Google “polls largest threat to world peace” leaving out the quotation marks) show that many, if not most, in the world believe that
America is the main threat to peace. Worse yet, other major powers like
Russia and China are using America’s aggressive nature to justify their
own military buildup.
