Modern Western civilization has extraordinary empathy compared to its power. This is also arguably its greatest weakness.
With the nuclear bomb, America could have subjugated every nation on Earth with ease. Hitler and Stalin would certainly have done so.
Instead, America helped rebuild Germany and Japan!
There is no historical precedent for a nation with so much power helping, rather than destroying, its defeated enemies.
