Lloyd Austin threatens to send troops to Ukraine if they can't steal anymore $$$.

Speaking of America's current invasion ... name all the countries that have come to our rescue. I'll wait!

USA was only invaded by the Brits and the Japanese.

The allies did come to our aid versus the Japanese, and France and Spain played a part versus the Brits.

I rest my case!

Very poorly.

As for Europe and WWII, USA was a much more moral nation at that time.

Subjective claptrap.

So what did we gain? It's a said day when Russia lives by a higher moral standard than most European nations and, dare I day, the USA. We let men beat women in up the boxing ring. We let grown men use the little girl's room. We need to clean up our own backyard before telling others how to clean up theirs.

You eat up right wing anti-woke talking points, because fear sells.

By aiding Europe US gained a free Western Europe that has led to a long era of stability in Western Europe and economic ties that have benefited both side.

The title may be provocative, but why focus on form and ignore substance? Are you not concerned that our country is moving towards greater military confrontations? Do you believe that this is beneficial for our country?

yes

The Venezuela/Guyana situation is getting hot. Which side will we all be on when it starts? Most likely it will be opposite sides based on politics. Anyway, Venezuela says it has the right to about 2/3rds of Guyana from a bad order situation from a century ago. The area they want is filthy rich in oil. It is called Essequibo and supposedly the Venezuelan people voted for their military to annex it. Old Joe.........the man of peace and unity I tell you. Maybe nothing will happen.

The US Defense Ministry conducted bio-experiments on sponsored Ukrainians.

The Telegraph: 60% of examined AFU soldiers have been found to have antibiotic-resistant infections.

Coincidence, I guess, can аmericans do such things to ukrainians?
Why not, they're expendable.

That's better than experimenting on Americans isn'it?

Sending troops to Ukraine won't be popular with the majority of Americans.

He didn't mention Ukraine - but deploying more US forces to NATO member countries - which IMO makes sense.

Quote:
that it "very likely" will lead to U.S. troops on the ground in Europe defending NATO allies in other countries Russia may target next.

Why do people believe that the defense industry is so profitable anyway?

If defense works was so profitable why would defense contractors go out of business so often?

Never mind the Turkish version of Trump, same nonsense, same rubbish, same scumbags, same agenda.

Even senile Biden is fully aware (or at least his party-boys) that the US "unrestricted" support towards Israel is globally backfiring onto the USA.

GDP - GDP - GDP a major if not the major argumentation point of the USA trying to demonstrate superiority towards China.

Can you explain that?

 

[Kruska]

Can you explain that?

The USA's GDP increase in the past 20+ years is due to taking up US$ trillions of state debt "equaling that GDP growth" - same goes for most other countries as well, and not due to a factually grown economy.

A major part of the US State-debt, however derives from, e.g. the costs of War on Terrorism = US$ 8 trillion, plus all those other wars.
This sum is spend vastly onto e.g. military goods, and thus only initially contributes to a onetime GDP growth. Same goes presently for Russia were it's increased military spending, has also provided for a risen GDP. - despite its factual economic decline. And therefore it's need to take further state-debt into account, in the coming years.

So the USA can't increase it's GDP via a factually stronger economy. However the GDP growth is vital for the USA and any other country in regards to assigning an international currency value for the US$ or their respective currency, but foremost to retain their loan credibility. Aka if your GDP goes down, less or no GDP growth - who will lend you money for further loans, at what interest rate? and thus preventing a hyperinflation? So GDP, GDP, GDP. - growth, needs to be documented - just as a private person will only get more loans via providing a higher asset value (GDP). No growth in asset value no additional loans from the bank.

So you get these "smart criminals" falsifying their bookkeeping, or e.g. taking an "undocumented" overseas credit - thus using that credit to increase their asset value at home, then approaching their home-bank for a further credit, via documenting their asset (GDP) growth.

How do you increase a companies asset value? e..g by investing into future profit makers -e.g. production machinery. Or simply by buying 50 BMW company cars - that will all loose their value in the coming years down to zero - but initially look damn good on an asset balance sheet. The US government is documenting its asset growth (GDP) growth via trillions invested in military goods - looks damn good on the asset (GDP) growth chart - but will have zero asset value in the future.

It's the political "elite" in the USA that obviously prefers to make fast and easy bucks via the military industrial complex - instead of investing it into the future of a growing economy of the USA. (probably far to stressful) And as long the USA and the world believes into the USA's payback ability aka financial trustworthiness - demonstrated by a growing "GDP" to get new loans every year, all is fine. !!

The USA is in competition, foremost with China - the outcome of this competition will decide the value of the respective currency and the respective vital loan-credibility. China is the one that invests into new machinery - whilst the USA is the one that buys 50 company cars.

Because sometimes, unfortunately for weapon manufacturers, there are unfortunate and profit-damaging periods of peace happens.
