I have learned a lot by visiting other countries:

Mexico -- I drove through Mexico to Reynosa, on the way I saw homes in the desert that appeared to being built a few cinder blocks at a time. Some you could start to see where the windows would be. It seemed every paycheck they would go and buy another dozen cinder blocks. The floor was dirt. But then we got to the city and there was this big house surrounded by walls with barbed wire and guards. One guy with us pointed it out and told us it had an indoor tennis court, and swimming pool. We were all "wow, who lives there?" It was the police chief.

Taiwan -- You know their schools outperform ours and yet they have 50 kids in classrooms with chalkboards. How do they do it? Well there is a Junior HS entrance exam, if you fail that test boys become factory workers and do construction and girls become prostitutes (the brothels are state run). Then there is a HS entrance exam. Same kind of pressure. If the parents are rich and the kids fail this exam they can go to the American HS that is in Taipei for embassy and military personnel. If they can't get into that school they can come to America and stay with a relative. While there I worked for a school teaching English and each month the police would show up for the bribe. In Taiwan they call this the "hidden tax". By having a hidden tax they keep their official tax rate low and that encourages investment. The national holiday is Chinese new year, everyone gets a red envelope with money in it and then they spend the night gambling. Prior to getting to Taiwan I confused them with Japan and mentioned to my dad how I was looking forward to a place that is so clean. He laughed and told me I was confusing Taiwan with Japan, he was right.

Italy -- I broke my leg skiing in the Italian alps. I went to the hospital there. When I returned to NY they x-rayed my leg, saw that it had been set wrong, broke it again and reset it.

UK -- I went to boarding school there. Every single student had to go to the chapel on Sunday and yet to my knowledge I was the only Christian on campus (I could be wrong, didn't know everyone, but certainly wasn't any evidence of Christians on campus). I remember when I was going there why everyone talked about "big American Cars". When I got to the UK I understood.

Hong Kong -- Never seen anyplace so crowded and I lived in the suburbs of NYC growing up.

South Korea -- similar to Taiwan

That really makes no sense.
Hmmm, let me run this through that translation algorithm you were using

That really makes no sense => "means they are hoping for the decline of western economy because the middle east has been exploited/destablized going back to Rockefeller and just maybe people can't compete".

Hmm ... that is not what I stated.

"I also know that since Britain turned its back on Jews in 1905, Britain's empire began its collapse."

I am quite sure that was the reason.

My point is the British Empire was ruthless to other countries.
You mean like every other colonial power since forever? Judging history by today's ethics is ridiculous. I suppose next you'll propose that America gives back Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Oklahoma, and Kansas to Mexico. Or is that why so many Mexicans have crossed the border to the USA? They've come to claim it back?

I believe it was your secretary of state who stated in the war game simulation with China, the USA takes many losses.

You do realize that USA is planning a war with China that is the ultimate plan.
Wargamers look at many different scenarios. Did you know that America once had contingency plans to invade Canada? They were worried about Britain using Canada as a base to attack America. China is a genuine threat to South East Asia. I live in this area, I'm ex military and I see the massive build up of China's armed forces. China has nothing to fear from any other nation. They have become the region's bullies. Australia knows all about that. So does the Philippines and Vietnam. Taiwan simply awaits an invasion. China has promised to take Taiwan by force. Only a fool would not take that threat seriously.

Yep, that is the point. If someone says "Death to America" who are you to translate that for the rest of us and tell us they didn't mean that?
Iran started on Israel, doing its best to destroy that nation. The next planned target is America. Islam intends to bring the whole world under its control. Both Sunni and Shia share that goal.

WW3 has been in progress since the 1970's. Muslims do not only fight with guns and bombs. They have invaded Europe by phony refugee claims. Iran is supposed be a murderous hell hole that Iranians flee from. We have 85,000 in Australia. Yet there are 3,000 Iranian/Australian citizens in Iran right now, demanding help to get back to Australia. If it was so bad, why did they go back?

Some European nations are waking up. Others fear Islam too much to say anything. Britainistan is one of those nations. We've seen what the "religion of peace" is really like in Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and North Africa. Christians should be praying against Islam continually. Islam is Satan's attempt to emulate the kingdom of God, except his kingdom reflects his wicked nature. We ignore it at our peril.

Islamists didn't invade the West. They were allowed to enter. If you really want to do something about Islam, put those who granted the visas, those who made the visa rules enabling mass migration, the politicians who oversaw it and allowed it, and the bureaucrats and all of the corporations that funded it - put them all on trial - all of them - for the past 50 or so years for which this agenda has been pushed - on trial for treason. I doubt you would support it, because it would lead back to the same people you hold to be the good guys - the same people that murdered JFK, that commit terrorism against the US with impunity, that suppress free speech with "hate" laws, and which funded Epstein and who knows how many other pedophile blackmailers and sex slavers.

I wish all the liberals would travel to Russia, China, and Iran.
Yeah, like that black female basketball player who kneeled during the US National Anthem.
A few months in a Russian jail and she came in with a new appreciation for USA all of a sudden.
Amazing how the perspective changes when you spend a few months in a Russian jail.

I think it is coming to the USA so no need.

I wonder when the USA is ever going to feel safe, it seems to be manufacturing consent or at war.
Lady, Canadian mounties are not capable of war.

Which country has been the most aggressive since WW II?

Death to America means the hoping for the decline of western hegemony because the middle east has been exploited/destablized for oil going back to Rockefeller and just maybe people are tired of it.
Lady, some people may be tired of your whining too but it depends how you see the world when you have peace IN God too.
You?
You're too confused in most of your political ideas and history.

I am sure they are wondering why the USA had to creep around and topple their duly elected President and install a puppet regime?
Why are Americans always creeping around behind the scenes?
I am sure they wonder the same.
Canadian mounties can't do this that's why nobody talks about Canada in world affairs.
