America crashing out this century like all other empires before it
Osama Bin Laden cracked America’s psyche; Iraq wasted trillions in treasure ans discredited the neocons; losing Afghanistan was embarrassing; the rise of China has upended everything; the inevitable re-emergence of Russis is a spoiler; and continued Arab/Muslim resistance to the Israeli colonial enterprise will crack the international law regime America itself created post 1945
Joe biden is a perfect representation of America. An old man being scammed who gets angry and insists he is too intelligent to fall for a scam.
It all comes back to Israel. America's support for an aggressive, paranoid nation who wants none of its neighbors to have any ability to defend themselves against its neighbor has cost America trillions.
If Israel respected the two state solution and implemented it, you don't get a battery in the back of Islamic terrorist movements. You don't get military bases in west Asia, you don't get OBL striking new York 2x. You don't get a paranoid Israel tricking the morons in our government to go into Iraq against international law and global protest.
You don't get Republicans turning the budget surplus into a massive deficit, starting the new century with a massive debt and subsequently a global financial crisis. The trillions wasted in Iraq and Afghanistan could have gone to expanding Medicare, shoring up our infrastructure, canceling student loan debt, or creating a housing based reparations fund where black first time home buyers can get 50k towards the purchase of a house. Real estate was a keystone of white America's generational wealth.
Israel has been a thorn in the side of America's progress and a money pit that has produced nothing of value for the average American. There's literally no reason to keep sending these people our tax dollars. Really looking forward to how conservatives will keep trying to explain how there's no money for loan forgiveness or public health care but it's perfectly fine to keep sinking into debt for Israel.
