My country has gone to shit in the last 50 years or so but it is still my country. I can't afford to live here on just what I get without working so I choose to live in other parts of the world where I can. America would do so much better if it had free and equal trade with the rest of the world. Equal meaning whatever they charge us as import tax and whatever restrictions they put on their imports we do the same. Also whatever restrictions have been put on goods made in our country must be met by any imports. The other thing we need to do is stop giving any other country aid in real money. Any aid should come in the form of products, be it agricultural or other, and the first time it doesn't reach the people it is meant to aid all aid stops. OK, off me soap box. Sorry.
The US would go bankrupt if there was real free trade, no way they can compete on a level playing field.
Or do you mean free trade like bomb the shit out of anyone who dares to quit the petro dollar ponzi scheme as they did in Lybia and Syria?
Maybe not the two best examples. The Europeans decided to move on Libya (the Americans then bailed the Euros out), and they didn't exactly bomb the shit out of Syria either (remember Obama's "red line" and then failure to follow through?). Perhaps you meant Iraq, they got bombed good.
True, bombing was not the best phrasing, instigating a revolution and generally fucking up a country would have been better.
Btw it was not the Europeans who instigated the Arab spring which started this whole mess.
As for Syria, whatever happened to all these weapons and trained "secular resistance" fighters once they crossed the border into Syria?
Why was there a " chemical attack" every time the Syrian army made a major breakthrough?
And why did Obama first set the stage for the rise of IS and then allowed massive exports of oil by IS to Turkey for years?
(Remember when IS attacked Kobani from Turkish soil and the complete western world ignored that inconvenient truth?)
Obama should be hung for war crimes, as should most US presidents starting with Roosevelt.
None but ourselves can free our mind.
