My grandfather was in his mid to late 30’s with three kids and a wife when he was drafted to a non-combat position in the Philippines in WWII.

If his draft board knew of his age, his wife, and his children, he almost certainly would have been excused from military service.

But we're not doing that. We've been waging war on weaker nations, promoting hedonism, and sticking our beak where it doesn't belong; it's clear that our government needs an opposing force to keep it in check.

More like we have American led hegemony. The most important thing is the freedom of the seas. Our ships can trade anywhere in the world (well, maybe not in Somalia).

But we export some bad ideas. Feminism is one of them. Eventually, that will be our downfall. But we will probably last for a little while. The Romans lasted a couple of centuries.

Of course, China knows that the Biden Administration wants war.

Baloney. China owns Biden. All this is just optics to convince idiots that Biden isn't owned by China.

I believe he could have appealed but chose to serve. At least that’s what I was made to understand.

Wont work for either one of you; they’ll slap a set of BDU’s on your naked skin, shove a rifle in your hands and kick your ass out of a landing craft, helicopter, or aircraft.

You’ll either fight or just die!

With the neocon/dems in charge you won’t be given a choice.

I guess you could surrender but that might not be a real choice either, a lot of times in the field soldiers don’t have the time or resources to take care of prisoners, SO THEY JUST SHOOT’EM!

Looks like we have to be proactive.

Here is your post, and it is pure ‘bring down America China, and do it soon partner’.

They need to topple the US military as a superpower by 2030
Deliberately going to pointless wars with country’s not being aggressive towards us is not responsible leadership
We need these people gone asap

For the USA, it’s got to be the debt and the unfunded liabilities.

There’s no way to solve the problem.

What ObamaScare didn’t kill off in the first round, Covid-19 took care of much of the rest. /shiny side out

I absolutely agree. You can feel it.

It is going to be the culmination of the gnawing feeling many of us have felt for years.

I’m not happy to say that. But I’ve never seen anything like our current times.

A note to always read articles with a critical and discerning eye. In this case Armstrong is a convicted felon for scamming investors out of hundred if millions of dollars.

Heh, interesting you wrote that. If you’ve got the time, check out the first 15-17 minutes of this video - YouTube kept pushing for months at the top of my recommends - I finally watched it about 5-6 months ago (can’t be sure).

This sorta dovetails with your statement.


(worth it to watch just the first 17 minutes - there will be no way to “prosper”, though)

it seems you have the reading comprehension of a sixth grader.

“They need to topple the US military as a superpower by 2030”
- this is the stated goal of the WEF, the ‘they’ in the sentence.

“Deliberately going to pointless wars with country’s not being aggressive towards us is not responsible leadership”
- this is obvious and shows my stance against their actions

“We need these people gone asap”
- ‘we’ would be America and ‘these people’ would be the WEF and their cronies.

very obvious but too many syllables for you it seems.

You need to work on your writing when you post on a thread about the Chinese military and bringing ours down by 2030.

No, you are just unclear, largely because you are just blurting out undeveloped thoughts in your head without thinking of how little sense they make to other people.

Your post was gibberish.
