Documentary on how the United States is blessed with immeasurable geographic advantages that puts every other country to shame.
How Geography Made The U.S. Ridiculously Overpowering
The best piece of real estate in the world.
It had little to do with geography, and more to do with a constitution that limited government control over the population. Unfortunately, that’s being undermined right now.
The Geography of America was the same when it was just indians living here
Geography helped, but our Constitution is the greatest document created by man.
“but our Constitution is the greatest document created by man”
Patrick Henry and George Mason begged to differ.
They opposed ratifying the Constitution on the grounds that it would give too much power to the newly created national government at the expense of the States.
They preferred to just amend the Articles of Confederation that had been serving as our previous “constitution”.
And they weren’t alone-
Notable Anti-Federalists
Patrick Henry, Virginia.
Samuel Adams, Massachusetts.
Joshua Atherton, New Hampshire.
George Mason, Virginia.
Richard Henry Lee, Virginia.
Robert Yates, New York.
James Monroe, Virginia.
Amos Singletary, Massachusetts.
That’s why it takes the US government to deliberately ruin it. Look at how the economy picked up under Trump: all he did was pull back the government’s boot on the American people’s necks just a little.

Yep. And now there’s another white-guilt movie out there with DeCaprio in it. Watched the preview, it’s based on a true story.
I just don’t understand how bringing up all these old wrongs is somehow good. All it ever does is stir up anger and rage at people who had nothing to do with it.
Geography and geology. Left unharnessed is wasteful, like Africa.
This might sound waysiss, but, whitey and his evolution found a need and use for every one of those assets. It demonstrates the power of knowledge, experience and education.
Call me a white supremacist, I’ll thank Christ for EVERY development over the last 2 thousand years.
From Pangea to Pangea, let freedom ring.
The open Southern border kinda puts this to the test, eh?
“The open Southern border kinda puts this to the test, eh?”
Yes. There’s nothing Democrats can’t ruin.
After reading your comment about “another white-guilt movie” with Leonardo DiCaprio, I went looking for it and found “Killers of the Flower Moon”. Did a little digging into the movie and the background “true” story. What a twisted and sordid story. Sad too, that people could be like that. But greed ran rampant. I think even Osage husbands killed their own wives to inherit the wives’ share of the oil wealth.
I won’t be watching this 3.5 hour film.
That’s the one. Sad, sick story.
