MODERATORS
I think you just described most military services actually (from democratic nations at least)
HA! Sure, like countries that are protected by the US military? Like countries insulated on all sides by close allies? C'mon.
Also, America is the superpower. Nobody comes close to their wealth and power and military technology, and superpowers don't become or stay superpowers by being totally chill and getting cats out of trees. I would fucking love that alt-universe though. Sadly, it's power by force or show-of-force. USA kinda straddles the line of both. But so does France, India, and Finland, to name a few.
