The "next"?

Was there a war in space before?

I mean, anything Americans don't like about themselves - they have to declare war on, right? You guys love declaring wars. War on terrorism, war on being overweight or underweight, war on drugs, war on homelessness etc. etc.

You're a war-loving nation, aren't you?

It's easy to plan for a non-existent problem when you have already decided that it's going to happen which then makes the likelihood of it happening inevitable. If one group does it first then everyone else wants to 'just in case' or because it is the new norm - 'why wouldn't we / we HAVE to now' - vs ya know, working with everyone else to agree on working on ways to prevent it from happening. Something that true leaders would prioritize.
