US Military's Knee on the Throat of the World

[georgephillip]

Why are you on the side of Evil?

I'm not on the side of those getting rich from criminal wars like the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan or the war on drugs; why are you, because of an accident of birth?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Bullshit. Your blame America first knee jerk is stupid and lazy and unsupported.

America is the biggest threat to global security today and millions of its victims from Korea to Kandahar are proof of that. You swallow "American Exceptionalism" without giving a single critical thought to how many innocent human beings are currently suffering to support your ignorance.

"The U.S. strategy is to control of your economy in order to force you to sell your most profitable industrial sectors to US investors, to force you to invest in your industry only by borrowing from the United States.

"So the question is, how do China, Russia, Iran and other countries break free of this U.S. dollarization strategy?

"As now constituted, dollarization creates a circular flow that finances American military spending by forcing the costs onto foreign central banks holding dollar."

"So the question is, how do China, Russia, Iran and other countries break free of this U.S. dollarization strategy?

They should use Euros or Yen or Pounds or Swiss Francs.

"As now constituted, dollarization creates a circular flow that finances American military spending by forcing the costs onto foreign central banks holding dollar."

No one forces foreign central banks to hold dollars.
Holding dollars doesn't force foreigners to finance the US military.
Even Marxist economists should know that.

No one is forced to sell anything to US investors.

to force you to invest in your industry only by borrowing from the United States.

Ummm.....if the foreigners are already "forced" to hold US dollars (to lend to us), why do they also need to borrow from the US? They've already got piles of their own dollars.

I didn't think it was possible, but Michael Hudson might even be dumber than you, George.

So, you blame the US for Afghanistan being a source of refugees.


You give no responsibility to the Afghani Government for choosing to host and support and protect a terrorist organization that launched a massive attack on the most powerful nation in the world.


Their choices led to war with America. Yet you blame US for it, and give them a complete pass.


Because you don't care about the refugees, or Afghanistan or anything really, other than bashing the US because it is a problem for your Marxist agenda.

Both those wars had valid national security reasons. Your premise that because some people make money while wars are ongoing, that that means those people are in charge and/or that those wars are because of those people is unsupported lazy marxist garbage.


REally, all you've done is put up a few dots and done NOTHING to connect them.


My buddy the Big Foot Conspiracy Theorist makes a more convincing and logical argument than you are right now.

It's like him and his pot head buddies back in the 70s came up with this shit, while high as a kite, it sounded good to him then, and 50 years of lib circle jerk discussions convinced him that it must make sense. Since everyone he knows agrees with it.

And that is all he has.

Why do you always side with genocidal communists against the freedom loving Americans, whom you supposed are one?

I don't support genocide whether it's committed by communists or capitalists; why do you?

You continually duck this question: which is the only country on the planet that has killed millions of innocent civilians on the opposite side of the globe since 1945?

Collateral damage is not normally considered genocide. That was you lying to hide your support of communism despite it's massive history of genocide.


I ask again,



Why do you always side with genocidal communists against the freedom loving Americans, whom you supposed are one?

It was the children of the soldiers put up those statues, to remember their service.

It was Jim Crow who put up those testimonials to white supremacy.

 

[georgephillip]

You are so insanely stupid it's laughable! Trump triggers you daily!

Your stupidity is fatal

Too much winning?

 

[georgephillip]

the 18th and 19th Century morals were far different than where we are in the 21st Century

but the entire world was equally bad or worse than what you complain about in American history

Millions of people in all ages opposed slavery.
Your last sentence reveals the depths of your ignorance regarding where America began.

Somerset v Stewart - Wikipedia

"Somerset v Stewart (1772) 98 ER 499 (also known as Somersett's case, and v. XX Sommersett v Steuart) is a judgment of the English Court of King's Bench in 1772 relating to the right of an enslaved person on English soil not to be forcibly removed from the country and sent to Jamaica for sale. Lord Mansfield decided that:"

America's Founding Fathers worried about London outlawing slavery; do you think that affected their support for Revolution?

 

[georgephillip]

The great menace in 1945 was communism where no free elections were ever held

There was no great menace threatening the world in 1945 until Harry Truman started the Cold War in Korea.

 

[georgephillip]

Because as I pointed out, both are universal.

War and private wealth are not universal.
Humanity existed for thousands of years without either abomination.

 

[Correll]

It was Jim Crow who put up those testimonials to white supremacy.

It was primarily the Daughters of the Confederacy that put up the statues.

Jim Crow was a set of laws passed by, mostly democrats mandating discrimination against blacks.


The statutes in the park, had very little impact on the lives of blacks in the Jim Crow, Democrat controlled South in the first half of the 20th century.



I understand why you lie. If you told the truth, people would realize what you want for them. And they would fight you.

 

[Correll]

Close enough for all practical purposes. Some tribal cultures might have not had private property, but that does not mean they did not clash with other tribes, in small scale wars.


Some isolated tribes might have had long periods of peace and good for them. But it was not because they did not have private wealth, but because they were very lucky in their neighbors, or lack of them.



You have put up TWO dots, and are pretending that they are connected. YOu've done NOTHING to show any connection. YOu just assume the connection. And when challenged, you state your assumptions again.


Seriously. You did come to these position, while high on pot, talking to your hippie buddies, back in the day, didn't you?

Ok I get it

in your world slavery is it only issue that matters

America had slavery prior to 1865 you hate America today and wish nothing but bad things for this country till prople of color are the ruling majority

Fair enough

I think that is quite wrong but you are entitled to your opinion

 

[Mac-7]

OMG. You are a fill blown communist

wow

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

There was no great menace threatening the world in 1945 until Harry Truman started the Cold War in Korea.

Eastern Europe disagrees.

OMG. You are a fill blown communist

Truman started the Cold War regardless of what your capitalist indoctrination has told you:

"Truman announced his 'Truman Plan' to Congress on March 12, 1947, and further developed it on July 12, 1948, when he pledged to contain Soviet threats to Greece and Turkey.

"American military force was usually not involved, but Congress appropriated free gifts of financial aid to support the economies and the military of Greece and Turkey.

"More generally, the Truman Doctrine implied American support for other nations threatened by Soviet communism.

"This became the foundation of American foreign policy, and led to the 1949 formation of NATO, a military alliance that is still in effect.

"Historians often use Truman’s speech to date the start of the Cold War.

"The Truman Doctrine was informally extended to become the basis of American Cold War policy throughout Europe and around the world.

"It shifted American foreign policy toward the Soviet Union from détente (a relaxation of tension) to a containment of Soviet expansion as advocated by diplomat George Kennan.

"It was distinguished from rollback by implicitly tolerating the previous Soviet takeovers in Eastern Europe."

"Freedom loving Americans" who have killed millions of innocent civilians from Korea to Kandahar since 1945 don't qualify as genocidal?
