    The US has an ample food supply, energy supplies of several sorts, a powerful military, and no obvious routes to failure -

    - except for a nuclear war, of course - with the only other big nuclear power - Russia.

    So like a moth to the flame, we have to get our really big military alliance to encroach ever closer to Moscow...

    I'm not sure what this has to do with life in the universe but the problem is China, not Russia.

    I guess there is another way to fail, though not as catastrophically, and that is to print so much money the dollar suffers inflation.

    And to give the newly printed money to people and corporations who don't need it.

    And who will invest a good chunk of it in companies in other countries.

    Thanks Joe for finding another way to destroy the country.

    Can we find someone else to run the country, from like tomorrow?

    Hell no cause next up is Kackles and when she bombs…. Next up for the job is Pelosi. God help us.

    We need Branden to hang in there a few more years or at least until the 2022 elections are done.

    It's the USA. The USA is built on perpetual war, so... Yes?

    I'll let you answer that since it has nothing to do with my post.

    Up to that point you are correct. NO country in the world, right now, is better poised for future success than These United States.
    And there you run off the rails, China actually makes **** that works, they are a bigger nuclear threat than Russia. It must cross, observant, peoples minds that if Russia's nukes work, even, twice as good as their army ... how much of a threat is that? I'm not suggesting we try to find out but I'm sure I'm not the only one that has had that thought.
    "WE", "our big military alliance" hasn't "encroached ever closer to to Moscow"; not even an inch. You seem to have missed the fact that it was "genius" Putin (member of the Donald Jenius tRump genius club) and his half assed army that ATTACKED Ukraine, not the other way around. And NATO, has done nothing but support Ukraine fight the war that Russia started. (now you're up to speed)
    IF, we hadn't provided "stimulus" money and other aid to AmeirCANs to help them weather the COVID storm what do you suppose would have happened to them and our economy. Let me point out that as bad as inflation is now, we certainly wouldn't be suffering any inflation today because we would be in the throws of an even worse "recession" than the one Dubya and Cheney left office under.
    It was actually Donald Judas tRump's stimulus package that allowed that, President Biden's ... not so much.
    Again, you've missed some important current event's "Joe" wasn't the sitting President that called thousands of angry folk to Washington to help him overthrow an legitimate election and usurp power that he had lost. That was Benedict Donald. It's was Benedict Donald that tried multiple was to "destroy" OUR Country. Fortunately none of them worked.
    No, we'll have to wait until November 5th, 2024 then we can elect someone different to be OUR President.

    I guess it escaped your notice that there have been NO major wars since War 2. Thanks to the United States the WORLD has enjoyed the longest period of, relative, peace and prosperity ... EVER.

    No, "we", the USA and it Allies, and the rest of the world for that matter - including China if they'd be honest, are hoping to stop war where Vladimir Jenius Putin started it.

    I didn't say there has been no war. I said "major war". There has been no war that interrupted world peace, as there was continuously from the beginning of time, since War 2.

    "I" never declared or stopped declaring war. :eyepopping:

    Way to overlook what the Soviets did to the peoples and nations of Eastern and Central Europe after WWII.

    I can't fault any of those countries for wanting to join NATO and protect themselves from Russia and most particularly the revanchist warmonger running the country
