The End Of The American Empire Is Here

Too much Tucker Carlson! So yes, that post is political!

How can anyone tell what is really happening when issues of mass importance are run and advertised by the wealthy to make a profit, not serve human well being. They sold us tobacco, alcohol, sugar, opioids, wall street, corporate hegemony, and inaction about the climate crisis. This dovetails with politics because money runs the government. We are unable to divorce economic power with advertising power. Economics is the real reason we have such a huge gun control problem, not politics. The cockeyed idea of American exceptionalism is because of economics. Believe we rule the world and keep shopping. I think that's the best idea I have had. It is really stupid of me to protest against anything and just roll over and go shopping. One our Presidents advised us at a tragic time for our nation, to not worry, HE is going to take care of everything, just go shopping. It is unfortunate for those who don't have any extra money, i guess they are out of luck. :cry:

In case this was missed, the USA working with our allies stopped the Nazi's attempt to take over Europe and stopped Japan and the rest of the Axis powers from taking over the Pacific. We also joined the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France and other allies to stop Germany and their allies in WWI!

In both cases we (Allies) saved the World from tyranny! That beats the heck out of chewing gum!

You missed the bit where the Russians were also very instrumental in the defeat of Nazism.

Yes, they nearly beat the Russians, just like Napoleon did. ;)

Yep, and they suffered the same as Napoleon's armies did in their retreat from Russia.
The bitter cold and lack of food...
Who was it that said, "if we do not learn from history, they we are bound to repeat it!" Hitler was not a student of history!

Same can be said about Putin. If somebody had "offed" Hitler, think of all the lives that could have been saved.. and same for Putin. Instead of ongoing wars with so many casualties, deal with the a*holes that started it.

Janise, I say the same about our American wars in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq II (not Iraq 1, as we were liberating an ally), and Afghanistan, although I hate the way Biden got us out of Afghanistan, he blew it in so many ways.

I don't know who said it but it would be good if more leaders paid attention to it.

The lesson of Afghanistan is a case in point. Things did not go well for the British, then the Russians and finally for the Americans and their allies. Not to mention the mess left behind for the Afghans.
