Really? Like the kinetic strikes we carried out against Iran to get them to stop their nuclear program?
Oh, wait - we didn't use any kinetic strikes there - we TALKED to them, and got them to sign a treaty.
Or maybe you refer to "hit first" as if that's common. Like in Kosovo, or Bosnia, or Afghanistan, or the Gulf War - all cases where I am just SURE you can show that the US engaged in the first use of violence, and for no reason whatsoever.
I have the image of The Soprano's "talking" to a five-and-dime owner about whether they want "insurance" or not.
For sure, the US will "talk" to those who threaten their hegemony or economic dominance. If they "listen" then all's well.
