WHY YOU SHOULD SUPPORT OUR MILITARY

this is a good video to start of the discussion.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAJeZaFdbJA&feature=fvst

its marc faber, a billionare hedge fund manager, who really knows his stuff.

He basically believes that most governments in the world will end up defaulting eventually.

I think many will, such as the P.I.I.G.S.  (portugal, ireland, italy, greece, spain...  but I have a hard time thinking that all economies will default.

The point i wanted to make is that when economies do fail and the world goes to war, AMERICA is where you want to be. Our military can take on the rest of the world combined. So even if you are not proud of that, you fucking better well be thankful for it.

Part of what the first 2 world wars were about were because technology was reaching the point where because of nuclear weapons and jet aircraft, icbms, it became very feasable for the world to be under control by 1 country forever. Hitler probly realized that, and many think that the united states entered the war because they knew that too.

but anyways, i think the reason the us dollar has not completely collapsed under the printing press is because the united states military  is 10 times as capable as the rest of the world combined. So yeah, bring it kim jong, bring it china, bring it russia,   we will fuck you up if you ask us to pay you back.

when we default it will be because we hyperinflated so we could afford to pay other countries back. To put it simply, if I owe you a million dollars, and i can also print money, than i can print enough money so that the million i pay you is worth nothing. Then I will default and issue a new dollar that does have worth, and start back from nothing. China and other nations that hold us debt can get as mad as they want, because we ultimately borrowed their money and did not pay them back. But china will not attack the us, because we will fuck them up if they do, with or without nuclear weapons.

Seriously you are no safer in canada than in the states. Actually canada would probably be taken out first. There is really no advantage in living in canada over the states. Canada healthcare is free but terrible. Thats pretty much all I can think of.

yes, america is on its way to being the next weimar.

and newsflash dooshbag, the berlin wall fell. Russia basically put down its gun. The only country in the world with a symbolic "gun" in its hand, is the united states. Germany handed the us its technology and throught nazi rocket scientists like werner von braun, the united states became the undisputed badass of all nations... We are the only nation to nuke another country, and we landed on the moon. Russia kidnapped many german scientists after ww2 as well, and russian scientists are very smart as well, but because of communism, the ussr basicly ate itself.

My third paragraph of the original post needed to say more. The United states and russia inherited the ABSOLUTE POWER that the world was squabbling over in ww2. The cold war is probably the most important war in history, because it decided which country symbolicly and literally RULES the world. And because of Real Men like Reagan who had real balls and knew we had northrop gruman churning out stealth bombers, we made russia realize that they had already fallen behind.

With Mr. Obama in office we are losing our credibility day by day. As a symbol of power, i would take george w bush over Mr. Obama in a second. Mr. Obama being in control of america is like giving the keys of a bugatti veyron to a 16 year old girl with her learners permit.

Russia handed over the keys to the world when the cold war ended. The united states owns this planet. George w made alot of countries resent that fact, but that fact remains. Our military with or without the power of nuclear weapons, is so much more powerful and advanced than any other countries, the united states does not have to worry about these things as much.

Put it this way.   think about what the situation today would be like if greece was the only country in the world with nuclear weapons.

Correction: The United States borrowed heavily to purchase this planet, but now must default on the loan. Ownership reverts to the lender: China.

I can't quite figure out what the hell kind of dumbass point you're getting to, but I'd like to mention that if China made us 'default' it wont be because we hyperinflated, btw, I'd certaintly like you to look up the credit rating of us treasuries, recently dropped but what again are they rated bobby? We won't get to that point of China asking us to pay them back, we've been down on money for how many years and they haven't said shit? And if they did, we will tell them they can fuck themselves, very nicely in a handwritten letter, stamped with 'MERICA. There will be no hyperinflation, thats absolute hogwash.

I do not support the reason we have such a large military.  We don't go to war for the greater good of our people but for the greater good of our government.  The amount of military bases we have set up in foreign countries just shows how fucking imperialistic we are.  And the point of our military and armed forces is supposed to be to protect the people and only that.  Invading a country to make sure we will still have oil is not for the greater good of the people.  The lives of our citizens are not on the line because of an oil crises, it would just make us resort to alternative energy.  We are not over seas fighting to keep our freedom, that is only propaganda spread to cover up the real reason we fight overseas.  It is because we want to control the world.  Because our government doesn't like communism or socialism, it will start wars with countries that do, not even granting those countries their own simple liberties of choosing their own government.  It is especially funny because socialistic countries don't seem to have all of the problems America does.  AMERICA FUCK YEAH! Or not...

Funny I hear about it on the news everyday:

-War on Crime
-War on Terror
-War on Drugs
-War on Illegal Aliens

The police are raiding houses on all of these charges. There are shootings when these go down and people love to watch this on the news. It is a form of civil war, Americans against the American government, just on a small scale.

The civil war was an embarrassment for the southerners...who are making a huge come back.

Actually Canada would be the last to go down. We had so many peoples back in the past... France, Britain, US and pretty much every NATO country. Oh and just gonna throw this out there, Canada was in WW1 longer than the US and WW2 longer than the US and also has been in Afghanistan since 2002.

ever wonder why china, despite wanting more than ever to conquer taiwan, never has?


About 100 miles of water separates them.

And the chinese, despite having millions of soldiers...cannot transport them effectively and quickly.

weve been donating military equipment for hundreds of years, thats really not that big of a deal. while I agree that they are telling everyone they have less than they actually do, do you actually think that the US doesnt do the same? my brother works at the pentagon and he said I wouldnt believe some of the shit hes seen through there

hahahah this is so true. China has a massive army but cannot mobilize the whole thing at once. They lack sufficient transportation and logistics for their mind numbingly massive army.

like shocker first said... the us probably has nukes floating in space in low orbit circling over chinas and north koreas military establishments, ready to fire a retro rocket and drop a few megatons on their missile silos, americas army is so much more capable than anybody realizes

Proletariat FTW.

If world war 3 happens, I believe our kids are too stupid to really know how to hold a gun. Yay, we have technology, but that's about all we have on our side... in todays world, I believe our people are also too critical of the government and it's agenda to actually believe that they wouldnt send them over some gulf of tonkin or WMD bullshit.

Basically, unless someone invades France again... I dont see the US populace as a whole supporting any such war, really...



However... this video game looks real interesting (and severely impossible haha)
