Yes, and on top of that we have paid the majority of the bills for N.A.T.O., the U.N., WHO, since their creation. We have foolishly involved ourselves around the globe in long protracted wars, that never benefited a single soul. In fact, they have only destroyed many lives. They do so because they are invested in the military-industrial complex, as well as, getting kickbacks from the contractors doing the work.

We also give billions to many foreign nations in financial aid, both friend & foe.

To add insult to injury, we pay 100s of billions per year for illegal invaders of this nation. Enriching special interest groups, while the citizens of this nation get fleeced even more.

In the meantime, repairs that are badly needed in our crumbling nation don't get done.

It's unsustainable, and the BRICS nations are going to replace the dollar as the world's reserve currency. When that happens, it will make these back failures look like child play for the entire world, except for perhaps the BRICS nations. Though I suspect many of them will not fair well either.

We have been following the perfect blueprint to destroy our nation. No foreign nation had to even lift a finger or invade kinetically. All they had to do was sit back and smile as our leaders destroyed it for them.

I would agree with some of that, esp. when it comes to illegal immigration. But, so much of what you say is based on such shallow analysis...

Take the reserve currency issue. At least 80% of the world’s GDP is the US, the EU, and allies such as Japan, the UK, etc. To dethrone the dollar as the world’s reserve currency, you’ll have to break up that block, and in particular the US - EU alliance.

With nits like Biden (or Obama) in charge, yes, eventually we’ll get there. But barring something like Ebola with COVID-like infectiousness, or a severe fracturing of NATO and subsequent truly major war in Europe, or maybe a medium-large asteroid strike (say, .2 mi. diameter, popping Europe, maybe blast center = SW Germany) — the “system” has enough accumulated wealth and momentum to not fall apart for some time.

Granted that negative momentum IS well established too, and growing, so a breakup in 40-60 years would not surprise me. But BRICS could crack up just as soon or sooner.
