“That’s a scenario that [the U.S.] carries out across the world. Where there is war and destruction going on, there are U.S. munitions companies making money, there are U.S. banks making money, and there is U.S. policy driving the offensive against local populations”, said Don DeBar in a phone interview with the U.S. Desk on Wednesday.

Did you guys see the part where he says soon America will be spending more annually on debt budget than the military budgets of China, Britain, France, Russia, Japan, Russia, Germany, Saudi Arabia, India, Italy, South Korea, Brazil, Canada, Australia, Turkey, Spain and Israel COMBINED?
If this is true then how in the world is this sustainable?

Nice speech indeed. But then I read that his governing party wants to spend 35 billion ( Which they lied about its costs initially) on a few jet fighteers . Mean while public schools, Highways and bridges are falling apart, and Txs go up. Im so confused

Fools like him lived on delusions of fear mongering.
The wars are ending, and in time, as USA becomes more rationally isolationist, enough of being spat upon for helping others, military budgets will shrink though not research.
Furthermore, think about the Shale gas industry in USA. It will soon make USA a FAR LARGER exporter of fuel sources than Saudi Arabia and Iran combined can ever hoped to be, and unlike them, those revenues will not be squandered for personal use, but for the People within an open and transparent nation to progress and evole economically and socially.
A mere 1 billion in debt owed to China? That's laughable. China will want to throw all its treasury into american bonds if possible, for it needs at least 3 times its annual GDP revenue in order to keep its 1.3 billion masses from rioting, which something that only USA can provide now and in the future, unlike equally gas rich but corrupted and lawless Russia..

Unfortunately, every Country is tied into Americas economic mess, and will fall if and when America does. I just don't see any fix to the economy here in America. It will happen, its just a matter of when. Now, out of the ashes is what I am more concerned with. Debt will always bankrupt a Nation, and too many countries have played its game, knowing what the outcome is. Will The US learn from its mistakes, or will it be damned to make the same mistakes ? That is the real question.
