[QUOTE="Nimnim, post: 1321638, member: 28856"] It's the old saying of "strength through power." Or even "speak softly but carry a big stick." We don't want to fight, but when you have the forces to back it up people are less likely to try and make you mad. Think of it this way, you might be the most peaceful person out there, but how often do you get picked at by someone who's a foot shorter and 100 lbs lighter than you? Sure it can happen, but the chances are really low. Or we can look at it this way, though unlikely with how our allies are, how often is someone going to pick a fight with someone knowing they have a friend, who also has 5 other friends, to back them up?
