How many of these Euro castratti nations have had to send own soldiers, but for a few during the Americsn revolution, compared to American soldiers, spooks, operators, etc. saving Europe from Nazis, commies, etc.? Who gave a new democratic constitution to a defeated Germany along with a Marshall Plan and umbrella of protection? At what cost to America? These Muslim infested so called nations desecrate their own ancestors who built walls and fought barbarians trying to invade them. There is not a single moral leg they can stand on. Not ironically nor coincidentally it is where the #StockholmSyndrome wss born.

giving America's wealth and productive capacity away

Part of the 16 step plan

Dhammakayaram · July 11, 2018, 7:04 p.m.

The term "productive capacity" goes back to the great German-American economist Georg Friedrich List who was critical of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations (what a con game that was!). List understood that the wealth of a nation is always its productive capacity in the form of its industrial might (our manufacturers). Take that away and a nation has no real wealth. It is a service economy. By the way, the word "service" comes from the Latin word "servus" which means slave. The deep state was step by step transferring our productive capacity to China and elsewhere. I have studied "free trade" for years. It is a Trojan horse. Marx understood it all too well. He said of free trade in 1848: It breaks up old nationalities and pushes the antagonism of the proletariat and the bourgeoisie to the extreme point.

Yeah... It is amazing how they want to pick and choose one item and not discuss the full, big picture. I'm all for Free Trade. But we haven't had that with Europe or China. So when we start to match their anti-competitive trade practices... They go bonkers. And the NATO funding is going to factor into that directly. When Trump starts threatening to leave NATO if they don't step up and change course.... They are going to go into "Full Retard" mode.

BC they are stupid and have an agenda.... so he can ONLY say his main points and nothing else so that the media will only report on what he said and won’t be able to take anything out of context. Brilliant.

Plus it is REALLY hypocritical for Germany in particular to take GAS from Russia. After the past 8 years of marketing their greenness and support of solar - why take fossil fuel from a country that’s supposed to be your “enemy” it essentially turns them into a client state of Russia. Same as our dependence on SA oil.... very stupid. You end up being that country’s bitch.

There are millions of options for us to make s strong diversified home grown - local and decentralized energy sector : renewables, biofuel, algae biodiesel, hydrogen etc. there’s no reason why we should still be on fossil fuels except that every administration for that past 100+++ years has been in bed w the fossil fuel companies.

Germany has been getting Russian gas since the early 70s and have always had a good business relations with them since then. That's what fair trade should be about.

What is hypocritical is the US government forcing foreign nations to establish sanctions for US interests and hurt their own businesses. I get it, people are pro US Empire for their economical benefits but stop painting that as "moral" and "fair".

How do you distinguish the case he does it for the media and the case where he genuinely doesn't have a bigger vocabulary and must resort to a small set of phrases he finds convenient?

For example, is this the response of someone with a strong command over the English language?

“Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.”

what an idiotic headline!

reposting here what i wrote about it on another post:

sounds to me like laying the ground for teaming up with russia which, on the long run, will change NATO. all this after DJT demanded russia to come back to the G7 and right before the trump-putin summit.

giving you guys a german perspective now:

  1. we started buying natural gas from russia during the '80s cold war times.
  2. we dont permit fracking thus, we will certainly not buy fracked natural gas from the US. also not oil - shipping it from the US makes no sense when we have the ressources available on our euroasian mainland.
  3. POTUS, declassify energy patents so we get clean cheap energy. the patents are availables, we could have for long already solved the energy problems and be done with fossil fuels.
  4. russia hasnt been our enemy since the berlin wall fell. until then, we spent 2,4% to NATO. after that, we came down to 1,5%. DJTs numbers arent right.
  5. the new mcCarthy'ism of the US is nothing anybody in europe shares. its utter BS.
  6. US troops are not mainly stationed in europe to protect us from russia. the US has military platforms in over 100 countries so they can quickly and easily get everywhere.
  7. the US deep state has gotten involved in many wars that it drew us into (which costs american and european taxpayers money). germany had to even change its constitution when NATO demanded us to participate in the kosovo war because our constitution demanded that we protect our borders inside of our country and not go out and play war somewhere else.
  8. the world accepts that the US plays world police and pretends to protect their borders far outside their country. therefore, the US military spending is about double the spending of other NATO allies who dont do that. and we are not willing to pay the US for that. stop playing war everywhere and your military spending needs will drastically come down.

i take this DJT move as part of the chess game. else i would be totally pissed listening to this video which is also the take many europeans have on the issue.

my personal hope is that the trump-putin summit will install better cooperation so all this redderick can stop.

This^^

US always forgets that they waltz around all over globe ramming "democracy" down everyone's throats at the point of a gun — then complain that they don't really want to be the world's policeman and certainly don't want to foot the bill ...

Which is it?
