You have to admit it’s weird how we gave billions to both sides of the Gaza conflict, almost like the whole point is to launder money through the military industrial complex
Sharing is caring, but forced redistribution is communism.

Don't discount the potential optics of Biden appearing to give aid to the innocent Palestinians in Gaza.

Election year antics  -- playing both sides of the conflict to pander.

Such a low IQ comment.

Ukraine is not a nazi state, there's way more nazi's in Russia.   
Israel is only defending themselves.   If anyone is genocidal it's russia bombing hospitals and flattening entire cities.
Or Islamic terrorists murdering whole communities in Africa. Or China with their ethnic cleansing. 


Our billions is the price of safety and being the world leader.  Imagine a world which China in charge.  And the world economy using the yuan.  We are funding democracy, security and favorable outcomes.  We leverage the funding to get minerals, oil and protection with alliances.  We make the world a better place.   Idk about you but I wouldn't want a world ruled by communist, dictator countries.  We have the world's best military for a reason,  these wars allow us to sell weapons. Make money and get free R&D. While making the world a safer better place.

Yeah all of that funding doesn’t come at a cost huh?

They think money grows on trees.  If they keep it up there won't be any trees........

Or maybe they plan to do the paperless thing.  Where the government controls your finances and gives you a "debit card".

Don't worry.  You can trust government.  They won't screw you.

Afghanistan made who money?  Sure wasn't the American people.  Sell weapons?  LOL!  I guess our government made so much money we gave them all those equipment and weapons as a parting gift.

"Help yourselves, guys, sorry we were here for so long, we are going to Ukraine now......more money to be made there...." :crazy:

But the US Gov't does green light sales to foreign governments of US weapons. 

So, yeah, that money doesn't go directly to gov't officials, but when defense contractors and weapons manufacturers make massive donations to political parties, candidate campaigns, and "foundations", the money eventually gets into the pockets of the people doing the green lighting.

My God, this sounds like your classic propaganda press release by the CIA.

You may want to add, "Russia is bad; Putin, Xi, and Trump are evil; and China is next on the hit list."



Our billions is the price of safety and being the world leader.  Imagine a world which China in charge.  And the world economy using the yuan.
News Flash, many nations on planet Earth hate the US empire and its tyranny and are working to end its ever-shrinking global domination. 

Also, China and its yuan are in no position to be the next empire nor global reserve currency.



We are funding democracy, security and favorable outcomes.  We leverage the funding to get minerals, oil and protection with alliances.
More like the US empire using money borrowed from China and the rest of the World via the Dollar to pay off dictators or rig foreign elections to have puppets that allow the US empire to exploit those nations' resources and subjugate their own people.

Well, the majority of the non-White led nations of the World is tired of the US empire and are moving towards a multipolar World.

Take a look at this list of government types by country, then explain how "the majority of the non-White led nations of the World" intend to establish "a multipolar World."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_system_of_government

I guarantee a global government won't be established through mutual respect and agreement, but rather the destruction and annexation of weaker nations' along with replacing their cultures in favor of the strongest conglomerate of super powers enforcing a One-World Order.

These ideals only work in fiction, like Star Trek's Federation of Planets.  They will always fail in the real world, because there's always going to be dissension and rebellion against those in power who control resources and wealth, and there would be none so powerful as those in charge of a multipolar World government.

It depends how you define a multipolar World.

From what we are seeing from the ever-growing number of nations already a part of as well as fast-tracking their applications to BRICS, the emerging multipolar World is one that seeks to establish fair and equitable relations with each other regardless of their own nation's political or economic ideology.  This is in sharp contrast to the US empire's "rules-based order" imposed and enforced by the US empire that directly/indirectly demands all nations to accept its economic, political, cultural, etc. requirements.

Conjecture, but understandable seeing that is essentially what the US empire has done and what its fighting to maintain since WWII.

Once again, what you describe is exactly what the US empire is facing.  The rest of the planet is dissenting and rebelling from the US empire that has directly as well as indirectly controlled through its vassal states the resources and wealth of the World.

i posted a link to the UN's definition of multipolar world, that way you wouldn't have to ask.  Maybe try reading the links i included.  I always do that for a reason.

You keep harping on the US and how "the rest of the planet" is resisting -- which is ridiculous. 

My point is, regardless of WHO the leaders are for a multipolar world, there will be those who oppose and fight against it. 

There's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all government that meets the needs of every single nation on Earth -- the same way there's no single religion, political ideology or diet that is right for every individual. 

Nations are created based on 3 commonalities:  border, language and culture.  Until there's a single language and culture worldwide, don't get your hopes up of doing away with borders which is essentially what a multipolar world requires.
