Ping to Honorary Serb, of interest.
It’s been like 23 years since we bombed the crap out of Serbia. At the time, all I saw was an insurrection taking place in Serbia (Kosovo), so we bombed them. I didn’t know why at the time, and I still do not know. I guess the West no longer even has to justify these ‘actions’. Virtually every claim back then has since been debunked.
And the thing is, I get it during the Cold War, it was us or the Soviets, so we often had to get in bed with people who didn’t quite meet Mother Teresa standards. I really didn’t want to see us lose the Cold War.
But until very recently when China started moving out, what, exactly, is our interest in destroying countries?
Watch this Duran episode. It is discomforting, but provides the answer to your question.
The U.S. is a colonizer. We find countries that offer useful opportunities for us and we exacerbate or create conflict. We “settle” the conflict (I believe you described it as “we bombed the crap out of Serbia”) and then we move in and literally run things for our benefit.
We control what Americans or Westerners get to see and an accommodating media makes sure that continues. We demonize the so-called “bad guys” and heroize the “good guys” (which are whomever we are siding with.) Though years later books come out and give the full, accurate picture. But, fortunately hardly anyone sees those books and its too late anyway.
The program draws sharp parallels with the current Ukraine/Russia situation.
The lights first came on for me when I read (and then later investigated because I could not believe the info he provided) Travis’s post that there are 750 United States military bases in 80 countries.
Kind of have to laugh when the U.S. accuses others of “interfering.”
The United States for 30 years now has ruled the world. We have enforced our vision and reduced to irrelevance any nation that disagreed.
Much of the world has crumbled, but almost everyone realizes we are better masters than the Russians or Chinese would be.
“ Much of the world has crumbled, but almost everyone realizes we are better masters than the Russians or Chinese would be.”
What a load of crap. We were masters in places like Serbia, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and now Ukraine where they’ve lost 60,000 lives at our insistence/proxy war.
Ask the typical Russian if they believe the “master” should be: grooming our children, allow men to be women and women to be men and generally be forced to have the government ram their woke crap down their throats.
You may buy all that but I sure don’t!
If not the United States, what country would you rather have in charge of the world?
Oh I want this country to be the strongest, I just don’t want leaders like we currently have, and have had in far too many administrations.
Yes, outside of Trump we have had 30 years of disastrous leaders.
But America is not the president. The American people as a whole are everything Biden is not: strong, moral, innovative, and vigorous.
Thanks, I did watch it yesterday - he definitely lays it all out.
Agree with you on China - they have to be stopped at all costs. But the WEF crap that the US is in the process of imposing on the rest of the world is, right now, the biggest threat to the freedom of my family, and if it takes Russia to stop them, so be it, as the we seem unable to stop them.
Why the hell do we need anybody to be in charge of the world?
That notion has worked out really well! Right?
What about the crazy idea of letting each country make up its own mind without coercion and thinly veiled powerful clandestine attacks and color revolutions?
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely
“What about the crazy idea of letting each country make up its own mind without coercion”
Would be lovely, but we live in the real world where people aren’t nice to each other.
Big countries dominate their smaller neighbors. If you aren’t a great power you need a protector.
Kuwait swears fealty to us because otherwise they get eaten by Iraq. The Europeans rely on the United States not to be devoured by Germany. The ex-Soviets want us in charge else they will be reabsorbed by Russia. Most of Asia gives us tribute to keep them safe from China.
If we surrender our spot on the top. China, Russia, or another power will expand until it is they who control humanity.

Very true. Big countries dominate....and that is precisely what we have been doing to the rest of the world since WWII. Exactly how has that turned out?
-Vietnam (left in disgrace and lost 60,000 young lives for what?)
-Iraq (lied about weapons and spent billions upon billions, and regime changed that country. What is Iraq today -- a bastion of democracy)
-Afghanistan (that worked out really well for us, right? Another Iraq on steroids.)
-Libya (we bombed them, and regime changed that country. Another great example of the "protection" we provide)
-Syria (our effort in Syria is another regime change gone horribly wrong)
-Ukraine (we spent billions on one of the most corrupt countries in the world whose leader is a clown/comedian/joke. By the way, they are another perfect example of our misguided democratic regime change called the Madon revolution, where we invaded their country)
Now you may think we've done a wonderful job, but the rest of the world certainly does not, as do many of us in the US!
So, we have leaders that attack their own citizens and even their president with the full force of the government. They mismanage our economy and put us in a hopeless position of out-of-control inflation and of debt that can never be repaid. They run over us like they do in the rest of the world. And they do all of this under the name of "freedom and democracy." What a joke!
The chickens will soon come home to roost. We will not have a choice about "surrendering our top spot." That decision will be made by others -- not our corrupt, ideological government that boldly lies to us every time they open their mouth. Wake up and look around. It has already started with counties lining up against the dollar and refusing to go along with sanctions that demolish our economy and actually help our so called enemy.
You continue to believe in the fairytale story that our democracy is sacrosanct. All while our kids are groomed, millions pour across our border and change our country and all while we continue to run up massive bills which can never be repaid.
Good luck. This will not end well.
You seem very excited about the idea of China or Russia taking over. Do you think another country would be doing a better job?
Sure we have messed up, and the world grumbles that they have to follow American orders, but when given the choice almost every nation wants us on top.
How many other countries have recognized the Russian annexations: 0
How many countries have offered support for China retaking Taiwan: 0
Americas is still the greatest country on Earth, but Biden is doing many things to cost us that role. That is why we need to be rid of him.
My friend, I am a Vietnam era veteran. I saw all of this up close and personal. I lost friends in Vietnam -- and for what exactly??
You should read up on history. No civilization on this planet has lasted forever. None. Zero, zap, nata. And every country that ended up on top always fell and often very hard. Why do you think we are different? We're not! Our rot started before Biden -- he's just kicked it up a notch.
We abused our right to be a world leader and have done so pretty stunningly. Our country was blessed with great resources and we were blessed by God before we turned away -- which was quite a while ago.
We've had our day in the sun and abused that right. We are no better than many of those that we have invaded and forced a regime change upon. That's right, we invaded soverign countries with a focus to anililate their leaders. Think about that for a moment.
Anyway, the world is changing and will change us, like it has so many other regimes that rotted from the top. It will not happen in a week or a month, but the process has started just like it has in the other part of the west -- Euorpe.
We had a good run for about 100 years but nothing last forever, and you continue to go on believing the propaganda that it does.
Too bad!
By the way, we are having this discussion under the topic of “Russia, Serbia and The Weight of Chains w/Boris Malagurski (Live)”
I’m not sure you watched that young Serbian tell his story, but you certainly should. He describes firsthand how we manipulated the truth and abused the power that our fathers and grandfathers earned for us!
So, the world is waking up to our scams and abuse slowly but surely.
