The world is troubled, but there are two countries that feel safe, one of which nobody can fight, and the other is nobody dares to fight, who are these two countries, and why is it so safe?
Let's talk about the United States first. This guy's sense of security is simply off the charts, mainly because its military strength is the largest in the world, and no one dares to confront it. In 2025, the defense budget of the United States will be as high as 997 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 37% of the world's total military expenditure. As soon as this figure is displayed, you will know that it is not playing house. In the global firepower index, the United States firmly holds the top spot, with a PwrIndx score of only 0.0744, far behind Russia in second place and China in third place. What concept? It has 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, the only one in the world, and can project power to any corner at any time. Think about it. From the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, from the Middle East to Europe, more than 800 military bases in the United States are like a big net, tightly covered.
The U.S. Navy’s Ford-class aircraft carrier battle group, capable of carrying more than 70 F-35 invisible fighter jets, has the power to hit targets that can precisely dry thousands of miles away. The U.S. Air Force has B-2 bombers and global Hawk drones, monitoring the scope covering every corner of the earth. The U.S. Navy has 1.32 million active soldiers, equipped with M1A2 tanks and Apache helicopters, and the intensity of fire is scary. Less than space and cyber warfare, the U.S. satellite network and the Cyber Force, can paralyze the enemy command system in seconds. In a 2025-year global threat assessment report, the U.S. intelligence community said it faced the threat was complex, but
Of course, the security of the United States is not in the sky, it has to cost a lot of money to maintain. Military spending drives the economy every year, but it also brings pressure, as the logistics costs of overseas bases are not small. Internationally, the military action of the United States has to take into account allies and public opinion, such as the deployment in the Middle East, it has to balance the Israeli and Iranian straws. In 2025, the conflict in Ukraine and Gaza is still burning, and U.S. aid and intelligence support has rolled it deeper, but also strengthened its deterrence. Overall, the security logic of the United States is aggressive defense: you don't come to bother me, I don't take action, but you dare, I'll make you regret.
Turning to Mongolia, the country is a bit safe. Military power? Don't joke, it has tens of thousands of people in total, and its equipment is basically antique. There are not more tanks and aircraft combined than a division in the United States. But it sits firmly on the Diaoyutai Island because of its excellent position. Mongolia has a large territory and a small population. It is sandwiched between Russia and China. These two neighbors have the highest military strength in the world. Who dares to pass them and touch Mongolia? Russia regards Mongolia as a buffer zone that has been inherited from the Soviet era in history, while China regards Mongolia as a strategic backyard and is highly dependent on it economically. 90% of Mongolia's foreign trade follows the China-Russia route, and its mineral exports rely entirely on two railways: one to China and the other to Russia. To touch Mongolia is equivalent to offending two nuclear powers at the same time, and the cost is ridiculously high.
In 1992, it declared a nuclear weapons-free zone in the United Nations, and the five permanent members of the Security Council gave it a security guarantee, which gave it an additional layer of international shield. In diplomatic terms, Mongolia played the "third neighbor" policy, surface neutral, actually with the U.S. and Europe face, but never cross the line. In September 2025, it withdrew from the status of observer of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, instead of emphasizing China-Russia trilateral cooperation, border joint exercises to the sky. Russia and China do not want to let each other unique Mongolia, so it is natural to form a silence: you do not steal my ground, and I do not steal you.
Mongolia's security may sound easy, but in fact it also hides risks. Its economy relies too much on China and Russia. Mining exports will account for the majority of GDP in 2025, and price fluctuations will be enough. If China-Russia relations change, such as the Russia-Ukraine war protracted and Russia's influence weakened, will China become stronger? Mongolia has to walk the tightrope carefully. Diplomats fly to Beijing and Moscow every year to sign agreements and negotiate pipelines. Historically, Mongolia has been the hub of Europe and Asia since the era of Genghis Khan. Now it has become a buffer. It is smart in that it does not pick trouble and only seeks stability. Who dares to hit it? Try America? It has to go around half the world, stretch the supply line, and face counterattacks from China and Russia. It is a loss.
The two national security paths are opposite. The United States has a hard fist, and whoever comes will be beaten; Mongolia is in a wonderful position, and whoever moves will suffer. But in essence, they are all playing deterrence. The United States relies on global delivery, and Mongolia relies on neighbors to escort. Looking at the Global Peace Index 2025, small countries such as Iceland and Ireland rank first, relying on low crime and neutrality, but the security of the United States and Mongolia focuses more on external threats. The index shows that 56 conflicts are burning around the world, 92 countries are involved in foreign wars, Mongolia has zero participation, and the United States is involved but has not been bombed.
