You seem to be a typical American, that is a low IQ individual, but still let try and explain.
Here are 4 reasons why the US became the economic and military force it is today (and why it won’t be tomorrow):
1. Cowardice and Profiteering:
The US stayed away from both world wars until the end (WW1) or dabbled in a limited theatre (WW2). It watched Europe bleed itself dry, then sold desperate allies money and weapons. By the end, the UK was finished, France barely back on the map, and Germany flattened. But credit where it’s due, they did make a lot of films on the WWs
2. Post-War Lending:
With coffers full, the US became lender-in-chief to the world. Banks, financial institutions, endless opportunities. American leaders were smart enough to shove the dollar in as the world’s currency. That pile of money later fueled the tech and IT revolutions.
3. H1B Visas:
The US sold the “dream life” to the world and sucked in top talent. From the 1970s through the 2000s, it imported the best minds from Japan, China, India, and everywhere else on H1Bs. Cheap brilliance on tap.
4. Fiat Currency:
Nixon pulled the plug on the gold standard and pushed fiat. That move basically gave America a license to print cash whenever it wanted.
Now the cracks: the US has never actually won a war. It got spanked in Vietnam, Afghans grilled kebabs out of them, Koreans cooked Bibimbap, and the Gulf wars ended in humiliation.
Now there are no world wars to profit from. H1Bs are basically dead. Fiat money is in its death spiral. Gold has been flowing from West to East for a decade. If India stops buying Treasuries, and BRICS+ joins in, the almighty dollar will nosedive faster than you can say “Donald Trump Gandu hai (Donald Trump likes it in the rear)”
@ggreenwald The hardcore pro-Isreal side is spiritually woke. They use the same tactics, the shaming and cancel culture as well as the celebration parallax. “We aren’t doing this, and it’s great that we are.”
@Cernovich Exactly. Neocons constantly tell American Jews they should vote for the party best for Israel, but if you say that American Jews vote based on what's best for Israel, they'll call you anti-Semitic.
Imagine if Tucker said: here are the 6 Jewish billionaires financing Israel...
Always interesting who is allowed to say this and who isn't.
Larry Ellison (an American citizen who has given millions directly to a foreign army (IDF)) will now control CBS, Paramount, TikTok and possibly CNN, as he also serves as "the backbone for Israel's wartime funding."
I don't think there has ever been a more visceral and public shift in diplomacy or foreign policy in my lifetime. Maybe ever.
For a century, foreign leaders would land in D.C., get treated like royalty despite their massive sense of entitlement, and then leave in a Brinks truck.
Zero sense of appreciation for the immense resources that the American taxpayer was forced to provide them.
Zelensky, clearly high out of his mind, decided to negotiate in front of the media. He expected that the new boss was the same as the old. Insult, demand, threaten and prepare to be handed another check. Big mistake.
Trump's approach was remarkable:
"You don't have the cards"
"I've empowered you to act like a tough guy but once we're out you won't be so tough"
"You'll either make a deal or we're out. And once we're out, you'll fight it out"
This is the difference between Trump and every other president. He's not some lifelong politician. He's a businessman and he knows who has the leverage and who doesn't.
"You don't have the cards"
That one line will echo thru the halls of D.C. and thru the souls of every foreign leader.
The US is no longer the world's bank. If it's not to our benefit, then the deal is off.
And before you ask
"Is this what you voted for!?"
Yes. Yes, it is.
I would like to make a point about the Ukraine/Russia War.
I believe it is the most important point. Here it is:
Right now, as you are reading this, a Ukrainian or Russian teen was in all likelihood killed in action.
Why?
For what?
Ukraine cannot win this war. What Zelenskyy wants is for the US and/or NATO to literally start fighting the Russians, and that's not going to happen because nobody wants nuclear Armageddon and the end of humanity (except possibly Zelenskyy).
So what is the ONLY option? Answer: mark the boundaries where they are right now and stop fighting.
Trump knows this. Vance knows this. Anyone with a brain who understands war knows this.
THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION.
And anybody who disagrees with what I just said is either a bloodthirsty warmonger, a lobotomite midwit, or both.
Face reality people.
I was just called by my attorney.
I can now officially say I have received a full, complete, and unconditional pardon.
Thank you, @realDonaldTrump. 🙏🏻
For 4 years I have been silenced by my plea agreement, which was a lie from top to bottom.
The government forced me to sign a false confession to avoid going to trial in DC on felony charges for things I DID NOT DO.
For 4 long, terrible years my family, my employees, everybody who loves me, and I have been relentlessly tortured and abused by the Biden administration.
I will be appearing on the @gregkellyusa show on @newsmax during the 9pm ET hour to discuss.
Thank you, President Trump.
And Thank you, God.
