Sorry can't understand you over the sound of the US carrying Europe's defense budget.
Because, in case you didn't realise, we don't think that waging wars, hoarding nukes and "exporting freedom and democracy" is a good international policy nor a wise use of tax payers' money.
But what do I know, right? I just have low crime rates, an affordable university system and don't have to sell my kidney for a ride in an ambulance. All the while having 1 month paid vacation and a minimum salary that allows me to not live in the streets.
Sorry, I'm out of line.
Egypt 1956 Cyprus 1974 Indonesia 1964 Cyprus 1956 4 interventions in Chad from 1969 to 2014 6 interventions in the DRC from 1964 to 1978 2 interventions in the CAR in 1979 3 interventions in the Sahel from 2013 to 2015 8 interventions in the Syrian civil war from 2014 to today
"WeDoNTThINKwAGiNGwARiSaGOoDiNtERnATioNaLPoliCy" bro stfu you do it to
It's absolutely wild that an ethnicity homogeneous country has a much more stable time than one like the us with vary sizable minorities (I am not blaming minorities however nations like Japan, France, Germany, ect all have very significant percentage of a single group and are more stable, in my experience of reading through history you should try to homogenize your country, gets a bit war crimey)
I know this is going to sound weird but you can get government healthcare if you are unable to get it in another way, it's called Medicaid.
Insane that dispite college being expensive the US has one of the highest rates of college graduation.
As for crime. Scientific studies have linked more crime to higher temperatures. And guess what the US is often significantly warmer than Europe.
Crazy what happens when you stop parroting talking points and look into it. Oh don't worry when I am old enough I will be running on a campaign for solutions to these, but America is not Europe, those solution you had need change to work here
Sorry, can't understand you over the sound of the US taxing the entire planet for the last 52 years by removing the gold window on the reserve currency.
Ok.... look, having a currency tied to a metal does bad things, If it really is a problem I am sure a nation would have brought it back. The gold standard would have given the US more power because at some point if it had stayed the us would have required all gold reserves... that doesn't sound that good does it?
My point is, that it was very good for the US.
