That's retarded, what you want to shoot everyone? If you don't then force them to use the petrol dollar and threaten banking access. That's how you deter .

Iran had it coming since 1979 as far as I'm concerned. Protecting the petrol dollar is how we get left alone. That's a misunderstanding of American history. To be left alone you, bring the fight to them at their doorstep not yours. And definitely don’t allow them to sucker punch like lushitania, pearharbor , 9/11. Yeah people might bash Americans for our ways but make no mistake, we will come for you at a time and place of our choosing if you become a threat.

Again, to be left alone….

Okay so drop it, move on

I don’t think that’s a correct understanding of American imperialism. Our primary concern has always been manifest destiny, and the Monroe doctrine, it then Expanded with the advent of deepwater navigation to encompass the mahanian view of naval power. All that to say, leave us alone on our side of the globe. Which includes both North and South America

If the Epstein case is that important to you then you can start by asking the victim for evidence and present your findings as you so opt to remind the forum members.

It’s not dissimilar to America, we want to be left alone.

Ironic that the deadbeats are the ones screaming bloody murder.

Look you won't get cooties if you stay six feet away okay.

America is a continent size population of said people.

Yes their human capital is good but that's only one peace of the puzzle . They're still bounded by physical reality of their geography. No energy, no civilization. No food (see fertilizer), no people.

Ehhh they’ll need to make peace with their neighbors and the Turks. They are not a resource rich nation

The mossad reached out and asked me how I felt about Israel. I said I support Zionisism, but you picked a bad spot on the map geographically. That’s the last I heard from them haha

What I’m suggesting to you is that the countries you’re claiming has better PPP than the US doesn’t account for tax havens like Switzerland or their heavy reliance on energy sector. Those often skew the per capita figures. They don’t have a diverse economy that represents a larger country’s economy. Not everyone works in oil and gas or finance/banking okay. Norway Medium house hold income is actually trailing the US.

Okay and? You prefer we wipe out their civilization and take them back to the stone age instead terror apologist?

Yuh huh, did you factor in the Nordic tax rate?

The problem isn’t the data, it’s your cherry picking. America has no rival.

Oh boy here we go, a Bernie sander flunky. Math hard. exactly, Norway’s energy sector is over 20% of their GDP.

I don’t even know why you Canucks bother, Canada was a ploy to slow down American hegemony. It was destined to fail. America is not a land power or an island power, it’s much more powerful, a continental sized island naval super power. The first in history. That is why we are destined to rule the world. Why you Canuck choose to resist manifest destiny is beyond comprehension. And as far as I can tell you all are just wasting time and money resisting. North America is inevitable.

This isn’t correct, GDP represent productivity. What the data is showing us is that America generate higher value add in the economic output per person than say a Canadian.

Is this a serious question? you're asking whether data can be secured... with one of the five eyes members... yeah okay.

And yet still wealthier than Canada whose housing cost is bank owned for life. Mmmhmmm will you go to an indigenous village then huh?

Sudetenlanders is the new term I’m coining.

Well there’s plenty of crayon sniffing already in Canada, there’s less of that as a state. Your helmet is made of chinesium so it’s not going to hold up anyhow. You can go from getting shit on by America to shitting on the rest of the world.

The USS Truxtun and USS Mason, supported by Apache helicopters and other aircraft, faced a series of coordinated threats during the passage, the defense officials said. Iran launched small boats, missiles and drones against them in what officials described as a sustained barrage. Despite the intensity of the attacks, neither U.S. vessel was struck. Military officials said that defensive measures, bolstered by air support, successfully intercepted or deterred each incoming threat. They added that no projectiles that were launched reached the ships. https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/iran-war-trump-strait-of-hormuz-ship-attack-threat-peace-proposal/
