The AI narrative requires an enemy and a “race” that the US has to win. It’s a pretext for justifying spending, rules, urgency, etc and making it sound more important.

Perhaps it’s because they are #2 strongest entity? Or maybe they are number 1, no one can say for sure.

Your comment also implies that those who haven’t participated in colonization might not fear being colonized. Seems… off.

I’m not saying that … my point is if you treat someone like you’re enemy they will become your enemy
