You might think that too if you had retractable razors on your hands.

Yea some of these are pretty cherry picked.
I mean "the Roman Empire" in the loosest term, from the beginning of Rome's expansion out of Italy, to the fall of Constantinople in the east, was over 1700 years.
And the Ottoman Empire was still very much alive and threatening Europe into the 18th century before they began their terminal decline.
It's Balance of Power, which came out in 1985. It was a geopolitical simulator where you either play as the USA or the USSR. The goal is to gain influence across the world by sending economic and military aid, fighting proxy wars, stuff like that. There was also a newer version that came out in I think 1990 which introduced some newer features and slightly better graphics.

I think it bears pointing out that both the UK and France have their own nuclear weapons and are ultimately not beholden to the US.
So encouraging Russian aggression with the implicit notion that the US wouldn't do anything in response to an attack actually makes nuclear war more likely because even if we didn't respond... they would still feel compelled to.
