And yet you deleted all the stuff where I disprove this question--it's one
of your very own straw men. How can you ask, "Is this superior to that"
without qualifications? Canada's geographically bigger than the USA
therefore we're superior. Is Larry superior to Dave? Well, probably not
with EQ characters. Qualify in which way and I'll give you an answer.
Internationally, the two countries are, or should be, equal.

But I don't postulate a "yes" to the first question. I postulate that,
internationally, all countries are on the same playing field, or at least
should be, for the second one country feels it's superior, it can enforce
its superiority on other countries. Why do you feel the US is superior to N
Korea? That your gov't doesn't opress its people or that you have the right
to vote? Does that give you just cause to enforce that on others? I'm sure
some North Koreans feel that their way is pretty good--otherwise the country
wouldn't run the way it does.

Like America is exporting trouble? Is your country just trying to provoke N
Korea? "War Games" that your country is playing with S Korea that N Korea
is interpreting as aggressive and is now withdrawing from the 'pact of 1954?
Are you guys just looking to start wars?
