America is the most destructive country on Earth.
By all means, give an example.
There has been incidents where America has been one of the most destructive countries on earth, this is true. WW2 for example. Vietnam, another one.
I don't condone Vietnam, but since then we have also helped build and maintain a level of fairness and equality for the world via corruption from
our own system. Ill quantify that statement later. And as of today we are the leader in humanitarian aid. We are on the forefront of medical
research and give away more foreign aid than any other country by far.
Now about that fairness/ corruption statement I made. This is for one very uneasy and unnerving reason in my opinion. Americas elite are the worlds
elite. They are synonimous with that phrase that everyone on ATS likes to throw around blindly. The NWO. Americas elite are the NWO. They have
been solidified in a sense since WW2. They have no patriotic loyalty to America. They are in the "game" for themselves on a world stage, and use
America to do its dirty work. For example fight wars in forein countries where Americans do not belong such as Vietnam, Iraq, Bosnia and Korea to
name the most recent. They also hand out aid to foreign countries through the U.S. Giving aid to undeserving countries such as Saudi Arabia and
Israel to name a few. It is quite sickening that their agendas are not hidden and Amercas people do little to nothing to stop it. This is because of
the propoganda machine that is relentless and permeates almost every part of society.
Americas people (where my patriotism stems from, which btw is very diffferent from nationalism..which I am not fond of) are so diversified we get a
little of everything. Good, bad and everything in between. Therefore it is difficult to breed a unified culture that is able to defend itself from
outside influence such as these elitists who have shaped our foreign policy for the last 80+ years.
So...when you ask this...
Is that something American's should be proud of?
I have to respond with this:
Are there those in America who like to puff their chest and declare America the "Greatest Nation on earth?"...Yes. These are nationalistic
tendecies propogandized by people like Glenn Beck and Fox news, MSNBC and the rest of the msm, whom neither are patriots, but nationalistic fools that
don't understand the nature of their disollusion and crap that they spread. Does that mean the are always fools? No. Like everything it is all
relative. Certainly, there are people like this in every country whom express thie belief that their country can do no evil. Of course, that is
hogwash.
But should Americans be proud of its military? Yes. If it is not then it should lay down all resources and let anyone just jump right in on our land
and take what they please. We do not have to be proud of the decisions by the elitists and politicians that use our military in an unpatriotic way.
But proud of the people who serve and the accomplishments of its past...absolutely.
Who would threaten a country who spends $1 trillion on defence annually anyway? NK has officially lost it.
exactly, except this is all just a game...played by those who know how to play. War will not happen soon. If it happens it will be in another 10
years or so, in my opinion.
And I'm sick of people complain NK has nukes when America has 10,000 of them. How does America's justify having 10,000 goddamn nukes?
I completely agree. Theres no need, and its beyond overkill. Unless you are looking to kill the entire planet, this is a farse and a joke. All mass
destruction devices should be destroyed. But it wont happen for at least a few hundred years or so. Not until the "NWO" (for a lack of a better
word..I really dont like that non-sensical phrase) realizes it can not control the entire earth population or its monetary capabilities.
