If only they had oil, we could do something...
- lowdose 6y agoWe would already have done a lot of things, among plant a flag and declare "terra nillius".
- steve76 6y agoDeveloping nations, richer than you think, no longer honor purchases of equipment and most importantly dangerous labor which includes onsite fatalities. The USA hands that over without a fight. People from the USA die from poverty and business failures, and still, the USA does nothing. The last little part the USA fights over is extremely critical. Not honoring it will kill a lot of people including the most vulnerable. The USA is forced into a grim calculation where we can either kill ten thousands of our own citizens in a war or watch tens of millions die a year. This speaks nothing to the morality of the issue which should be the only guiding factor. The USA developed a lot of this not because it's nice, but because we are continually attacked and invaded by the rest of the world. Marxists continually say they will fail if they don't take over the world. The USA just wants to be left alone, something if you take an unbiased look at history we've never had ever. Today the USA faces an amoral adversary, someone who scoffs at happiness as immaturity and knows no limits at debasing themselves just to win. Two problems there: - No one is better at amorality than the USA. - Why. Why do it? Why pump a barrel of oil to burn a tank of gas driving to a place where you only complain about pumping a barrel of oil?
