Yet, tens of millions of Americans eat this garbage hook, line and sinker.

If Germany is home to 143 US bases is it really even a country? Seems like conquered territory to me. If it wasn't conquered territory you'd think all German politicians would be calling the US out for the blatant act of terror inflicted against it in bombing the NS and NS2 pipelines.

I can’t think of a more important issue facing Americans right now today. The fact we have a run away government that’s aggressive against the world and it’s own citizens. And absolutely everything it does is against our interest as a nation collectively and individually as citizens. We are, America is the reason the world has been in turmoil for the last one hundred years.

This country has been used as a batting ram against all the other nations of the world since WWII.

We emerged from that war unscathed not only that while the war had impacted most the world negatively we were made a industrial power house. And we took advantage of that instead of helping other nations we exploited them in the name of “Democracy”

I thought Russia blowing up its own pipeline was the dumbest thing ever. Then they came up with six people on a sailboat doing it.

Common Sense

1. There can be no "arbiter of Truth".

2. Censoring "disinformation" is an abrogation of Free Speech and is treason.

3. There was no Jan. 6 "insurrection". Cambridge Dictionary: an organized attempt by a group of people to defeat their government or ruler and take control of the country, usually by violence. There were no weapons to speak of. Once inside, the protesters walked around like gawking yokels.

4. People who got "covid 19" got it again, so if natural immunity doesn't work, why would a vaccine, which also didn't work, since people who were vaccinated got it again.

5. Why was a vaccine the only solution, when all virologists know that the coronavirus mutates like crazy? And why were all remedies made illegal?

6. Extreme wealth can be used to corrupt anything or anyone and if someone refuses to submit to bribes or blackmail, that same money can be used to contract an assassin (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oilxI6Dgoy8&t=5s). The solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wywMhg604W8

7. The Warren Commission investigating the assassination of JFK was headed by Allen Dulles who Kennedy had fired from head of the CIA and who had ties with Hitler (https://ahrp.org/pivotal-role-of-allen-dulles-in-shielding-nazi-war-criminals/).

8. The media in the USA and elsewhere are controlled by an oligarchy (https://www.forbes.com/sites/katevinton/2016/06/01/these-15-billionaires-own-americas-news-media-companies/?sh=160fe445660a), (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership). Operation Mockingbird (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird).

It would be great if others offered more examples which I am sure there are many.

The USA is a dying empire, and dying predatory animals are always the most dangerous in their final hours. Hopefully it doesn’t take down the entire planet with it. I mean before our natural extinction by abrupt climate change happens.

American Militarists consider every country in the world as they do themselves: as aggressors who seek global domination. Therefore, the entire world's nations are enemies and are treated as such. The American Industrial Complex desires war like a vampire lusts for blood.

"Can you think of anything more insane than that?"

Yes -- even more insane is the root cause of facile propaganda swallowing -- which is that in our insane socio-economic system of compromised ethics, so many are willing to fall to their knees and vomit up their integrity like coprophagic dogs, for thirty pieces of silver and and "good boy" pat on the head.

Biden's "America is Back" slogan is the cover for his delusions of "restoring" the US Empire - it's the flip side of the coin of Trump's "MAGA".

I will keep this short and simple. Firstly, the US empire creates the image that we are the ultimate good that everything we do is altrustic. Now make any claim about a US competitor and you'll find the US has done the same thing or worse. We have invaded many nations unprovoked. We have used nuclear weapons on a country while no other has. We didn't care about the Ukraine in 2014 nearly as much as we do now. We didn't care about China a decade ago as a military threat because they weren't, and they are still not. We have had a lot of relations with Russia as a country under Putin for 20 years and only now he is this 'big bad Russian'. We were fine with Yeltzen. We have this idea that we need to preemptively stop potential threats before they attack us. Russia, China, terrorists etc. Thing is that is also provocation. There is no evidence either Russia or China intend to attack us. Propaganda sure, but neither is demonstrating any offensive intent, yet we are, by surrounding them with military presence. Weird, that the US is only allowed to do this.

Frankly, I find it almost impossible to believe any Westerner could actually believe foreign bases on Western soil or environs would go unnoticed and unchallenged in the extreme - "all hell breaking loose"? But then it is a fact, and explains a lot. We are almost too stupid to live.

We should stop referring to China as 'an emerging power' as this implies an emerging military threat, equating the crimes of the US with China. The ruling psychopaths know this to be a lie but the majority of the public, in Amerika and here in Australia, swallow the BS hook, line and the whole damn fishing rod.

China is building their economy by trade with the global south, not by imposing austerity, as the onerous condition of World Bank finance or invading and pillaging their resources and services and not interfering in internal politics in any way. In keeping with Chinas' stated foreign policies.

Maybe we should just call them an emerging economy, which is actually the real threat to US hegemony.

I wonder if any other country has gone way out of it’s way to try to provoke a shooting war with its largest trading partner

“…..The idea that the US militarily encircling Russia and China is an act of defense rather than aggression is so in-your-face transparently idiotic that anyone who thinks critically enough about it will immediately dismiss it for the foam-brained nonsense that it is, yet it's the mainstream narrative in the western world, and millions of people accept it as true. Because that's the power of US propagand…..”

Well everyone goes along with calling the huge sums spent on this “defence spending “ and they refuse to call it the war or killing industry, they call it “defence industry”.

As a result not only is this needless killing going on, but the latest move is that the banks are now being asked to invest MORE in the “defence sector”. This is the latest push going on. It’s frightening.

AND Qatar a self proclaimed authoritarian state so small it fits into a London suburb is the largest importer of US arms I believe. Qatar an ally of US/UK. Who is supplying arms to Sudan currently? UAE I read somewhere. Via Qatar? Arms manufacturers Arms dealers … US owns 40% of international arms exports. Russia 16% China 5.2%. UK provides a haven for arms dealers - our corporate regulation is so loose. A detailed analysis of arms trade routes may blow our minds. “The military-industrial complex” requires contemporary analysis … Castro predicted by the way in the 50’s that “the next war in Europe will be fought between Russia and fascism. Except fascism will be called democracy”.

probably the biggest moral dilemma americans face is whether we are willing for our empire to collapse and possibly our comfort and luxury along with it for the world to have a chance of peaceful coexistence. the MIC-pentagon, the intelligence community and most of capitol hill needs to be crushed and scattered to the winds (shout-out JFK) so that humanity stands a chance
