Which country you see as biggest threat to World peace

[tommcginnis]

I take you have never lived there and seen so called pseudo prosperity. Only the corporations prosper and the corporate world..oh also the politicians..on both sides..don't want to forget those benevolent folks now do we?

The report is lies for all to believe. All part and parcel of selling the globalist plan.

The humanitarian in me is *very* sympathetic to the thought that numbers don't measure all, but the scientist in me replies (with complete dispassion), "Numbers is the best we's got."

So, number-wise, should I remark about global expected life-spans over the past century? Should I remark about overall population growth?
Would it be troublesome to observe that infant mortality in inner-city U.S. cohorts has been way high on the list, and easily beaten by lesser-income countries?

My sweetheart is all fuzzy-warm about organic this-n-that, and grass-fed, hand-rubbed, talked-nice-to blah-blah-blah animal products. Hates any thought of commercial farming. And remarks, "You never see unhealthy animals in the wild."

That's cuz they're all dead, Honey.

We see lots of poverty today. But I have to look at the numbers and surmise, "...of people who would otherwise be dead?"

It's not my place to say whose life is worthy or not.

But the globalists do just that. They get to decide the fate of millions.

The Western political establishment: regime change doesn't apply TO US. WE'RE THE GOOD GUYS!

LOL..that is what Dad use to tell me.."we are the good guys" and "we don't need the rest of the world ..the rest of the world needs us"

Not so sure those statements are correct.

Either a pacifist America governed by leftists or a isolationist America governed by libertarian purists. Genie is already out of the bottle boys. There is no crawling into a shell and pretending everyone will play nice just because we've suddenly "seen the light".

It is easy to look at what has gone on in recent years in the Middle East and say "the US is clearly the biggest threat to global peace," but if you really look at the world today compared to the last 150 years, we probably have more peace today than we have had at any point during that time.

And that makes one wonder, why has the world become more peaceful? There is a compelling argument to be made that the United States military strength coupled with our willingness to intervene on behalf of small nations who cannot defend themselves, has resulted in far fewer dictators invading nations at a whim to pillage them. Just my opinion.

I dunno if I agree with this. 150 years ago we had the civil war in the US that cost approx 800k lives. The Gulf war 1 cost 400k Iraqi lives and I think gulf war 2 is even higher. Syria is like 500k too. The Russian invasion of afghanistan prob cost 1-2mm Afghan lives.

The civil wars in Sudan, Rwanda, Bosnia each have cost humdreds of thousands of lives.

And where were the developed nations including the USA in the Rwandan conflict between the hutu's and tutsi's? Two words: no oil.

In spite of all the rhetoric of freedom ...freedom fighters...where were the so called civilized nations in this genocide (estimated 800 thousand deaths.??)....it appears what determines intervention is $$$$ and addiction to power.
