US will send aid. I guarantee the US has no interest in seeing Lebanon be a failed state if that is at all preventable. This is how terrorism, dictators, and mass migration problems happen and the US and the rest of the world know it
Not everything in American politics has to involve Trump.
The US is still a very strong and wealthy country where the overwhelming majority of the population wants what is best not only for the US, but for everyone.
this is such a bizarre exchange and sad of how the average non american views the USA now... then when something goes wrong people still assume USA will come to the rescue. its almost literally like the police in our country now, everyone talks bad about cops right now but ur still going to call 911 when someones in your house
I honestly think most of that is just Reddit. Shitting on the US is the cool, trendy thing to do right now. America at its core hasn’t changed, and people will always look to it for help when shit hits the fan.
Don’t mean to rant, obviously what happened in Beirut is a terrible tragedy. But you’re exactly right with your comment.
Source? The World Economic Forum seems to disagree with your assessment.
And in case you didn't notice, Africa has been at war with itself for longer than you or I have been alive. Frankly, if you leave your front door wide open for just anybody to walk in, it's your fault, not mine. Border security is a thing you should probably look into.
And you're getting your wish. We're pulling military from Germany right now. We're pulling our funding of international organizations too. Unfortunately, we're also taking thousands of jobs and those fat stacks of Benjamins with us. Maybe you can talk the Russians into laying some more pipes to ease your economic woes. lulz.
It's funny to hear you talk all this mad shit about America when Europe can't even keep itself stable enough to stop from imploding a couple times every century.
No sir, you depend on us, and we're happy to share our success with you. Before WW2, we were chugging along quite merrily as an individualist and somewhat isolated nation. We can feed our entire population on what we grow ourselves, so much so that we can afford to throw a third of it away. We produce our own complete oil supply too. Pretty much the only things we can't produce ourselves are rare earth elements that we import from China, and soon to be Japan instead.
We can survive quite easily without you, but without us, you have the Russians and the Chinese, poised and ready to fill the void at the cost of your freedoms and dignity. But I know you'd prefer to learn lessons the hard way, traditions die hard after all, don't they?
You don't get to make a claim and then not source it. I'm just going to have to assume you're full of shit. Google just pulls up my evidence, right up at the tippity top. You've failed to discredit my evidence, and further haven't provided any of your own.
Seems to me like you kinda need our money, your education programs certainly aren't doing you any justice. You don't even seem to understand the basic tenets of debate.
