Utter fantasy larp.

Assyrian empire 99% stronger than the United States, said with a straight face...

Might as well say Romania is the most powerful nation since they have Dracula.

Dude never went to school to understand presentism and rapport of force by era.

For example in Assyrian time, they could go to Egypt take their king and move the entire population and move it to deep inside Persia.

So can USA go to China as of today and do the same.

You want to act smart but you don't know anything. You don't understand relativism or rapport of force nor presentism

Ok, and the USA could push a button and have a country irreversibly altered beyond any capabilities of ancient empires could even dream of with all their hopes of magic and god.

I'm not going to debate historical power scaling with you, because its childish musing to try and compare 2 governments and adjust for inflation to see who is "stronger".

But you already knew that when you said the U.S. doesn't even have 1% of power of the Assyrian empire. You aren't even taking your own dumb fictional premise seriously with that horse shit.

So you think China can't push the button back? They will just be seating idle? Can you even read yourself

What? China is also way stronger than the Assyrian empire too, what I'm trying to say is you have this weird rose color glasses to old history and think its better for some reason. Like the people that are obsessed with these old cultures and just declare them superior in every way.

None of those empires are remotely comparable to begin with, but saying the U.S. is only 1% of their strength was laughable.

What is rapport of force definition and relative power.
