The only thing the US is good at is dropping bombs on women and children. Iran will destroy every military base we have in the region. The zionist colony will be wiped off the map.
I am remembering Carlin saying something to the effect "We cant do anything else anymore, but we can sure bomb the fuck out of brown people!"
The Japanese are beginning to wonder if they can count on America, especially if trump is elected. The purpose to trying to build an aircraft carrier is to replace the American aircraft carriers if trump is elected.
If it were not for nuclear weapons, the UK would be under 2% on defense. Its nuclear weapons are not part of NATO, but anyway.
Reagan put a detachment of US Marines into Lebanon, for no definable reason. At one point he ordered them to advance "10" forward, without saying 10 feet, 10 yards, 10 kilometers, 10 miles, 10 whatever. Whatever it was, it meant leaving prepared bunkers. They were too small of a force to do much of anything, except die. He had random areas shelled by the US Navy, creating a generation of enemies.
Sweden and Finland just joined NATO. Denmark, Norway, Iceland, and Greenland are expanding their ties to NATO. The reality is as close to the opposite of what you are saying as possible.
I'm surprised Carlin was allowed to get away with the stuff he said. He took big chances on ruining his career.
Only because he always claimed that he was massively exaggerating for the humor....but I tend to believe he was lying....because most of what he said turned out to be right on the money.
The EU and NATO are bankrupt, especially Germany. I thought you kept up with this stuff. Again, we get to watch WW3 on TV. None of us will complain if DC is vaporized.
At the jump of The Debacle in Ukraine multiple people on my grapevine were saying that this is likely the end of NATO.
The EU is not bankrupt, and has very little in the way of debts. NATO has nothing in the way of debts, so could not go bankrupt. Germany has one of the most balanced budgets in the first world.
Back in 2002, Germany and France were opposed to Dick Cheney's wars. The US had to threaten them with financial ruin if they didn't get in line. We should make bets on which will be the first NATO country to jump ship.
The exact opposite of what you say is true. Germany is in big trouble.
The drive to expand NATO to Russias border and use it to abuse Russia was put in place during the Clinton years.
More importantly the people are rapidly figuring that their government has betrayed them, on multiple fronts.
Germany has growth problems, but not bankruptcy problems.
It has societal collapse problems......Outlawing and lawfaring political parties that dispute the Regime while claiming to be a democracy is particularly dumb.
