Are you kidding? Do you think a single light bulb would stop working in the US, if the Aussies disappeared?
Do you understand what would really happen if the US closed it's bases and stopped all Aide? You obviously DO NOT!!
I wish the US would stop spending a dime on the rest of the planet. I wish we would close all bases, bring all our men and women home.
You act as though this would be good for the world... You could not be more wrong.. The difference between us, I think it would devastate the world... but, my give a crap has gone.
If this country were to become isolated, rest assured, my neighbors are a resilient bunch, we would pick up the slack in no time flat.. You can take that to the bank!
Stop acting as though the US is this evil entity, that is only concerned with destruction. You would be dishonest to deny that the United States of America, has had a very positive impact on this giant rock. As of late, there are some things that have saddened me... but, for the most part, the US is in the business of helping people.

Lol, so now the Aussies have the Nuclear market cornered? A quick search showed me that your "facts" are wrong. We receive VERY LITTLE material from Australia. And the products we receive from the Aussies are also now available from a company right here in the US, Wisconsin to be precise.
You are making the same mistake that several countries in the past have made... Americans fight, like any country fight... Come attack our main land and see how Americans react...
You can spit all of the crap you want..
You do NOT want to see the United States Of America fighting for survival. Call that what ever you want, it is a fact.
If you google the stats between 10 and 30% of Americans have passports..... Take the real figure then its about 27%.
Brits have a 93% passport rate and Australians are the highest travelers on the globe. Why do these numbers add up?
Discuss yourself but i know from traveling to 28 countrys.
Apparently America is better than the rest of the world (im not saying you at ATS believe this).
Edit to say thats not the USA is better but the USA citizens are more naive to the rest of the world
