And we have shed more than enough blood and treasure defending them from themselves.

Two generations of my family damn near lost their lives in 1918 and 1944 fighting for these aholes and later defending them while Japan stole away our electronics industry and the (West) Germans dominated the steel and car market.

America was founded to be an entirely different entity than Europe and up to this point it has worked.

Worked that is until this carrot was installed in The White House.

Now the nail in the coffin is going to be getting involved in a war between two scorpions in a bottle half a world away, one of whom keeps demanding billions of our tax dollars every month.

No thanks.

Many of Freepers have family that fought in both WWI & WWII, Korea etc.

However your anger on “Stolen electronic & Car market” is not accurately placed. Our U.S. Auto manufacturing was broken by Congress striving to build Japanese automakers.

In 1985, the most fuel-efficient car in the world at that time was made in America achieving 55 miles per gallon in city driving and 60 on the highway. With Congress creating trade barriers restrictions Japan was given further automobile industrial advantage. Foreign cars became cheaper The U.S. population followed the ‘fantasy’ lifestyle of buying foreign products while maintaining their lifestyle without need for industrial employment of U.S. goods.

Our forever Greenie experts from the EPA continually promoted new stringent standards which then developed the new crush-able lightweight vehicles. Just for extra complication, Unions demands of increased employee give-a-ways pushed the auto industry production into low-wage countries.
