Whatever those influences may be, they don't force an american or brit to lay out $5,000,000 to the islamic sheikdom of Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum for a villa in Dubai. It's a choice some people make. Some westerners don't mind if their american money ends up financing huge mosques in Holland, or terrorism in general.

Some Americans have the wherewithal to fritter away $5M on a Dubai villa and I agree that is their choice.

Unfortunately we sheeple don't have much of a say when we are forced to pay taxes that are directed by our government to the Middle East and to companies such as Halliburton that move their HQ to Dubai. Note, I no longer use the term "US companies", because they are mostly international in their scope and priorities, not American. Unlike them, my priorities are American. When it comes to the USA they are looking only for the handouts/payouts on the receiving end, and do not operate in the service of the USA.

We're beginning to see the harm and conflicts that commercial globalism is going to create for national sovereignty.
