  1. We haven't even mentioned the bankrupt social security in the US yet....

    LOL, you crack me up. That's exactly what I thought UNTIL the moment these idiots actually bulldozed the capitol.

    Bit less than that, but standing by and watching as a quasi-communist country takes on the march and storms through stealing parts of Europe isn't an option unless you're actually a communist. Thank fuck the US (0.37%) is nothing like the French (0.07%).

    Bent over backwards trying to contort your figures, try harder? US has bankrolled this proxy war by Joe Biden and NATO and it is my tax dollars being spent to enrich NWO globalists intent on starting World War 3 or even nuclear war with Russia. Don't worry. In the event of nuclear war, the first countries to be hit by nuclear missiles would be the UK where you live and probably, France and Germany.

  5. It always annoys a lot of historians here (and I guess me also) when people think WW3 hasn't really started yet. It's a wrong nomenclature, since historian professors will tell you straight up, the first WWI was simply named the Napoleon era wars though, so that's where the nomenclature first started to run amuck. And no one really even cares to study it anymore, since they improperly assume it was only a French thing, and the French don't care because it was something they LOST. :D

    As for proxy wars, the US already fought them with Russia... and yes, we almost ended up with nuclear wars with Russia in the past. The Korean war was a very good example where a proxy almost turned out into a straight-up direct-direct hotwar with Russia threatening to go Yolo on the West. Luckily it turned out to be a partial bluff...

    I wonder what the author wrote!

    History says we almost ended up in a nuclear war with ... the Soviet Union.

  7. This illegitimate Piden govt has sent (wasted) more than $76 billions to Ukraine,
    instead of solving own problems at home, like the Student Loan problem...
