I'll say it again. Population means very little in this case.
U.S..military had the greatest trained soldier in the world. Not to mention technology and capability that makes individual soldier count irrelevant. The air space capabilities alone make that irrelevant.
The U.S. hasn't even had to flex in any modern wars. Let alone break a sweat. Let alone go all out, which would mean the end of....well, yeah.
Just be thankful America isnt forcing you to speak Chinese or Russia and allows you to speak your mind.
I'm afraid there's still no substitute for boots on the ground, if you want to occupy and hold a territory. That's the case now in Russia and Ukraine, it's the case in Palestine and it's always been like that.
You also had superior air space capabilities, better trained soldiers, and all the technological advantages during the vietnam war. Remember how that went?
The only thing america is forcing on us is tariffs at the moment and that just means inflation for you guys. We will find other markets for our wares and continue to believe that trade, mutual cooperation and collaboration is a far superior way to foster peace than "my stick is bigger than yours"
