Here's the facts, Europe can pay for its own defense against the Russians.
Funny thing about that you know, without USAs shenanigans, there would be absolutely nothing to defend against.
The US can take some of that money and pay down the debt and rebuild America.
No you cant. You don´t get it do you?
Being an empire means you must have the military to either enforce it, or to make it look like you can at least try.
Stop being an empire, and wow, suddenly you don´t get the freebies from being an empire, amazing!
The moment USA stops invading/coup-ing nations for not kowtowing to the petrodollar, the US$ would drop to maybe a tenth of its current value, and suddenly USA WOULD be broke.
If we have to go broke, we can endure the darkness until the new dawn comes.
While shooting yourself in the foot with a sawed off shotgun? Yeah, that works SO well.
So, I take it that Tenshinai has not read any of wiki leaks emails by the great silence from you on this topic.
Some, not all.
This is most unlike you to be silent on HRC corruption and willful destruction of the email server and 18 other electronic devices.
Her corruption is nothing amazing or new. The email crap is pretty much just rubbish, with only very limited relevancy, and not really worth bothering with.
The system she went with was the one created during GWBs regime, there was at least a dozen various IT staffers involved, noone in charge everyone convinced they knew how it was supposed to be run.
Seriously, those emails only shows ONE thing, and that is how laughably poorly organised the White House IT support was.
Not to mention the rigging of the Democratic primaries. Should not a good Socialist be complaining that Hilary stole the election from Bernie.
There probably was rigging, was it anything beyond the usual? Dont know yet. Bernie lost because media wanted him to loose, no rigging required.
And FYI, Bernie Sanders is definitely in no way what so ever a socialist. But he´s helluva lot more REALIST than any other candidates were, and it might have been nice to have a US president just for once who actually took, or at least TRIED to take responsibility.
What about Prjoect Veritas that exposed how the Democrats have been stealing numerous elections.
You like to roll in the media propaganda like a pig in muck.
Oh yes both big parties cheat and do voterigging like there´s no tomorrow.
But, the democrats tend to be lame compared to the reps.
Whenever i find out about a semiconfirmed or confirmed votefixing? About 2/3 of them are by republicans, however, if i make a list over the top 10 most extreme schemes for votefixing? The democrats doesn´t even get on to the list.
This election was about voting against Hilary irregardless of who was her opponent.
So, you would have happily voted for Pol Pot?
That is a VERY stupid stand to take. And of course, in retrospect i can safely say that that was EXACTLY what the rightwing media was trying to achieve all along, by for example making sure that Sanders was mostly excepted from media exposure.
Which reminds me, a little sanity check in regards to elections:
Germany vs USA.
Number of ads on TV by the two largest parties in Germany during their whole election campaign, 192 and 156 respectively.
USA 2012 election, there were 197603 ads, in just Florida.
I believe there´s something rotten, and it´s not in the state of Denmark.
