Can We Provide For Our Own National Integrity?

[Cynical]

Depends on how far back you want to go. Spanish Peso was arguably the first 'global' currency, at least to the western hemisphere. The USD started the path to global reserve currency status in the WWI era and was firmly entrenched in the post-WW2 era. This was further cemented by the petro-dollar in the mid 70s. Basically our currency rose to prominence because of a very strong industrial base and because nobody had bombed the **** out of our infrastructure, so people who had their infrastructure bombed to **** had to pay us for things they needed as they rebuilt.

Pretty much sums it up.

Awesome. Looks like my options will either be a farm hand or making meth in my area.

Like Grandpa Miguel used to say, "A buck's a buck..."

It's almost as if Russia, Iran and China are in cahoots to destroy this country indirectly or something. Golly I hope not because the chess game is heating up and our esteemed leader can't complete a game of checkers unassisted.

Take a look at who is taking control of the world's physical gold. They are actually organized called BRICS nations.

And all of our pensions that are supposedly backed up on gold contracts, are just writing on paper. They have sold many times more contracts than there is actual gold in possession.

Yes, they ARE in cahoots to sink America.

I guess a third option is warlord. That one is more appealing to me.

I'm well aware. As uninformed and uneducated as I am it's been obvious to me for well over a decade. There's a reason the nation has been consistently weakened during the past two democrat presidents. The first was working for Iran and the second China.

No.

And eventually* the USA will be spoken about like we discuss the Roman Empire. How at the time it was the best on earth. But due to mismanagement and excesses they failed into oblivion.

*not in our lifetime. Probably will take 2 or 3 more generations for the full fail.

Or another 4 years of Biden.

Or maybe we will just be some archaeological site where “pyramids” are found where major cities now stand

There ya go, aim high!

Being in the poorest county in the state, we are all rednecks with guns. The language may not be clean and the women may not have all their teeth, but we will have the ability to fix anything and protect ourselves.

First it was the Ukraine and now Israel... Is the US going to be able to support two wars on two fronts and still “…provide for the common defense….”? We may believe that we have unlimited financial and material resources but we don't! We are providing billions upon billions of dollars and credits to each. Both the Ukraine and Israel are using up fantastic amounts of war making materials, a considerable amount which comes from US resources. With lessening “stockpiles” of those vital war making materials available for our own deterrent capability here and, additionally, massing a considerable amount of our operational forces in one small area, there is much to consider.

Nope.. our own artillery units can't get enough arty rounds right now to practice end qualify with

Sure. Money is just fake paper. I’m not sure when this ends, but we are definitely closer. At least I think so.

4 Issues The Pentagon Must Tackle Instead Of Financing Abortions

There are much bigger issues implicating U.S. national security than forcing American taxpayers to bankroll abortions.

Recruiting is down because conservatives don't want to be apart of the LGBT woke military.
Having this garbage shoved down their throat is why my boys left after 8 years.
Both were thinking about making it a career, but the woke garbage made them leave.

The military has way more problems than munitions being handed out to Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel.
