Just trying to draw some parallels here:
The last time the North Koreans attacked south korean- be it the korean war, small scale infiltrations, or hit and run attacks- were carried out without warning.
I'd more scared of NK if they do not say anything.

NK attacks are a lie… creating a nuclear bomb is one thing, launching it another. We have proof that they can make a nuclear explosion, but they would probably have to drop it WWII style, from a plane, and there is no way that plane can reach US mainland without interception. (It would get stopped even before it reach Hawaii)

Also I would love if rest of the world would unite against NK and beat their ass. They really are doing bull, threatening USA and SK, they are s**t against the rest of the world. No offense. Sadly they have a few allies, and attacking NK would result in serious consequences.

And no XoL, USA doesn't have a poor educational system. The best educational institutions in the world are located in Western Europe and North America, US alone has more universities than any other country out there. (About the military part: Yes, USA can kick everyone's butt in war)

And also why your movies always have so much propaganda? Against China, against Rusia, against Germany, and the last movie I saw ( G.I. JOE) had propaganda against NK.
Also why Months ago did USA government send me a requisition to join army reserves? Im not even a USA citizen!
And yeah some of the best Universities are in USA, but if you maintain the main population in ignorance you can control them better.

Yes, a high amount of credible universities is an indicator of a good educational system.
Specifically about the part in bold: There are lots of good public universities in the US that are affordable, (at least in-state afaik) and when it comes to the private ones with 50k/year tuition, those schools hand out more money in financial aid than the governments of certain countries do to charity. Education in the US is available both to the rich and the poor; as long as you work hard you can get a good education. Hell, some schools don't even consider how much money you have upon admission (the need-blind schools) so if you are ebtter than a rich kid, you can get into a school they can't. (That's what the american dream is about- unlike in Europe, where there are established aristocracies, anyone who works hard can get to places regardless of their heritage in the US)
Students aren't forced to take huge loans- they can go to cheaper universities, or study hard and earn scholarships.

70% of US citizens achieve a High School Diploma. (I have only german source here from notable german press) That is also a part of the education system, it seems to me like you are talking about only how good the "elite" is matters.
I don't want to write that much either, so PISA will do it for me :) (And if you disagree with PISA points = quality of education system, pls stop reading here, scroll down and start writing non-sense)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programme_for_International_Student_Assessment#2009
http://www.oecd.org/pisa/46643496.pdf
OFC we have to define "poor".
PISA didn't consider multilingual countries afaik, so reading is only tested in the native language. This means some countries can focus almost 100% on 1 language, because it is a world language and even then fail to get under the top 5.
And if we have a look at some "higher tier" subjects like math & science, it doesn't look that great either.
It could be worse, but, meh, I mean we talk about the superpower here :)
And I don't know what places in Europe you are talking about, but it seems like it is 1700 there for you.
Edit: However, I agree that the US has (one of) the best higher education in the world.

It is untrue. The pantaloons scare the hell out of everyone. :)
Look, the US is damned for getting involved and damned for not getting involved. It's a catch 22 with no way to please everyone, so we do what we think is right. It's not always correct ( hindsight is 20/20 ) but we do more than any other nation and that means more than just spend money trying to help others. We spend lives. There is no money figure on that.
Take a look at what our military does during disasters. Ours or anyone else's. We airlift food, medical supplies, shelter, Doctors, generators, water and anything else that is needed. We do this at no cost, everything is free. Maybe we should use that money on secondary education instead of helping our fellow men and women. Oh wait, it's that catch 22 again.

I'd say most of your disaster relief is within your own country such as New Orleans and whatever else hits Florida every year. Any international relief is what you guys started on your own (with the exception of Japan). Such as the Wars you have all over the middle east. The reason you can't pull out is because it'd be a shame on America for going in there starting all sorts of crap and then leaving the place in a bad state. This is what I seen on Canadian TV.

Lets not forget Russia already holds the most nukes in the world. USA just spends a lot on their military. Doesn't mean they spend it all on nukes. I'm pretty sure most of it goes towards that silly little blimp they spent half a bill on each and their drone strike program.
I don't see why everyone thinks the USA will win against any country or continent. I guess that is to be expected when almost everyone online is from there. I'd bet my money on Russia though :l They always use their land mass to their advantage. Russians and Chinese are pretty cold when it comes to war and they take their pride & homeland serious.
As for USA education. It's probably the worst thing I've ever seen.. Yeah they have Harvard and what not but lets face it, only Bill Gate's imaginary children can afford that.
MIT, Harvard, and Sarah Pailin is the only names I ever hear coming out of America and that's a lot..

How would you like if california, or whatever state was taken over majorly by them and all of a sudden they didnt want to be a part of the US anymore. Do they have the right to separate? Fuck no.
