I pointed out the downside of my desires in my last paragraph. We can't afford to continue to be the world's police force. Monetarily or in human life. I'm not talking economic isolationism. I'm all for free trade. I just don't want to pay for the world's security. The world can help out a little if they want the benefit. Not only are we doing the bulk of the security, we are taking the blame when something doesn't go right. Is it too much to ask for help?Bobby wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 11:02 amDear Texan,
your heart is in the right place but
you want America to return to the
policy of isolationism.
That didn't work before and caused WW2.
Hitler was able to ignore the treaty of Versailles
and overrun Europe.
The world needs a global policeman and
American taxpayers will have to pay for it.
If not the next big war will destroy the
whole world including America.
Why the world is rooted.

If the United Nations could get every country to sign
an arms reduction treaty so that after say
5 to 10 years no country could threaten any
other country then it would work.
However - history has shown that it will never happen.
The arms industry is one of the largest in the world.
No country will follow any treaty.

Re: Why the world is rooted.
I note that no-one has commented about the 800 US Military bases worldwide in 70 different countries....
I note that no-one has commented about the Pentagons plans to invade seven middle eastern countries, including Iran.
I note that no-one has commented about Iran scrapping the dollar
Or India scrapping the dollar
Didn't Iraq want to use petro dollars....cant have that...I know...wmd...that'll do....
Which countries get US sanctions...Iran...Iraq...and Indias nexts....
And the US in their usual condescending, sanctimonious manner, tell the rest of the world its to advance
world peace....
Bullshit...its a feeble attempt to maintain the US empire...which by the way is on its last legs...Trump or no Trump....

Again so what? They are simply trying to bypass sanctions. Iran has a long history of terrorism and support of some of the worst terrorist groups in the world acting against the US and the western world. What do you suggest if not sanctions? A big warm hug? That should do it right?billy the kid wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 3:06 pmI note that no-one has commented about Iran scrapping the dollar
As for the rest I couldn't care less about India et al.

Re: Why the world is rooted.
You do a fair bit of emotive jibbering yourself and seem to get your 'research' from some guy's blog. One who seems to take his name from a split personality in Fight Club.billy the kid wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 4:05 pmSo youre quite happy with the pattern that the US sanctions and bombs the crap out of every country that doesnt bend the kneeBlack Orchid wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 4:02 pmSo what?

Personally, I wouldn't lose any sleep if the US turned the whole of the middle east to glass and we all went home.
