  1. I done with Democrats leaders

  2. The US has, over time, steadily lost interest in defending western democracy, preferring instead, to look to its own interests. It has been increasingly driven by internal interests to draw down its military capabilities through continual budget cuts over a number of decades. This is despite the fact that the US is the leading beneficiary of the liberal rules-based international order that evolved after the second world war. Now the worldโ€™s once leading global superpower has fallen behind China and Russia in both technological and military capability.

    The reason the US has fallen so far behind China and Russia is because it prefers to give tax cuts to wealthy interests rather than collect those taxes and spend them on what it needs to in order to keep up with the technological change that is enabling China and Russia to surpass it. Constant budget cuts, decade after decade, has left the US military grossly underfunded to the point that some of its own personnel are forced to take out payday loans because their wages havenโ€™t been paid.

    Russian superiority over the US in the field of hypersonic missiles is showing up in a very real way in the conflict currently raging in Ukraine where the US is being openly intimidated by Russian threats to use their hypersonic missiles to deliver nuclear or conventional warheads against US targets. In short, this technology allows the Russians to land their hypersonic missiles on American targets before the US is even really aware that it is under attack. The US does not possess a hypersonic missile capability because it has neglected to invest in such a technology. The US is afraid of Russia and is being intimidated into passivity.

    Fewer tax-paying workers due to the off-shoring of industries and jobs through globalisation and with big business paying little or no tax results in the weakening of western democracy and all it represents in this world. We see the effects of this at work in the Chinese who believe the US has been seriously and permanently weakened by the global financial crisis because, the fact is, that crisis has put China in a stronger economic and strategic position than the US. Evidence for this strategic edge can be found in the superiority of China over the US emerging in areas like AI, Quantum Computing, Nuclear Fusion and Hypervelocity missile technology where China has the resources to pursue these areas and the cash strapped US does not.

    The only way forward for the US and the Western World is to now increase its spending on infrastructure which includes everything from education to defence. To do so will require the raising of corporate taxes to the same levels they were in the post-war period when the West was at the leading edge of global civilisation.

    The only nation to benefit from the current conflict between NATO and Russia is China. Western democracy and freedom are at stake here. The world needs to see leadership from the US at this time and not a display of its knowledge of military matters as it sits on the sidelines giving its so called expert commentary on events.

    If Ukraine loses or cedes territory to Russia, even if Ukraine is only materially destroyed and not subsequently occupied, Putin will feel confident enough to challenge NATO, but, if Ukraine wins then it is very unlikely that Putin will attempt any military action against NATO given that he can't defeat the Ukrainians.

    If Putin attacks a NATO country then the US and the West will most definitely be involved in a major war.

  3. $40 billion for Ukraine while we're struggling with record inflation ๐ŸŽ–๏ธ๐Ÿ‘

  9. Always late to the game only to concede the war

  10. Uranium was a strategic mineral we had, before Hillary sold half of it to Russia.

  11. I just want to remind everyone that no one on this planet, human, alien or other, CREATED gravity, electrons and DNA.

    The Pentagon certainly OWNS everything they did with gravity, electrons and DNA. Fortunately, none of it made me any safer.

  12. If USA can supply a product, USA should buy USA, not overseas, USA owned. Vote Trump November to drain the swamp and finish the wall. Impeach Biden and Co.

  13. No human will change the Weather. But elutes.and other idiots will steal your money, property,.business and rights toward their "goal" which is really just to take over everything

  14. Are they doing this for China, or for the US?

  15. Can you make a video explaining how beginners can make huge profit within a short period of time? I mean i was at a seminar and the host spoke about making well over $880,000 within 4months of investing $150,000 i just need to know how…

  16. How do you know what Putin thinks?

  17. The Moon is loaded with many richness. Go back and get some

  18. Gee. This guy sounds like a politician. Must be honest.

  19. Mr Putin had cancer and it's in remission he had an interview on tv about it, the one the "world" blocks

  20. We need to go into Africa

  21. so the whole save the environment thing was a scam? I mean now tou admit we needs these minerals, letting china and russia have a monopoly on them isnt smart

    wow. great thinking you clowns

    its as if these people are purposely destroying our country, then yku tell us the most obvious crap expecting us to eat it up and say "wow what a great idea, thats why you guys are in charge"

    give me a break, this is nuseating

    Time for change..BS time for a clean house, get them all out.

  22. Yes, WE CANNOT DEPEND ON THE CHINESE ANYMORE!!! MAGA MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. The CCP is Not our friend. C'mon Neil Wake Up!

  23. I doubt democrats do anything because they really are that criminally stupid!!

  24. Vincent Price as Vladymir Putin. It's a meme

  25. FRAUD GOVT MILITARY CRIMINALS!!!

  26. "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17:

  27. The orphans of the spirit are our concern, those who, without the thread of contact with deity, remain wedded to an unwholesome environment, those to whom the real purpose of life is never revealed; for the crystallization of their intellectual concepts and the hardness of their hearts, rooted in selfishness, do not open the cosmic doorway to our domain.

  28. Ya. Cuz that won't add 2
    "Climate change….." like I don't know….oil.
    Thanks Brandon.

  29. China minerals are all coming from Africa and to bring down China is weeks and few months.

  30. Joe Biden gifted Taliban ISIS cavemen 86,000,000,000 in taxpayer funded military weaponry to fund terrorism for generations

  31. Don't worry about oil though lol. Just remember there is n such thing as "clean energy" as well. Wind turbine use oil based lubricant, they poison the land they mine for minerals and metals, akalines etc for electric cars and batteries. If you also think china or Russia or the Middle East cares about the environment or where or how these resources are gathered you live in a dream world

  32. It doesnt matter what the US does,God has closed the door,for Refusing to Acknowledge him.

  33. Are government knows what is coming in the future and they won't tell us ๐Ÿค”
