America Delira

Travel abroad and or talk to pro-American foreigners here, and you will be surprised at what they say. It is not boilerplate anti-Americanism of the usual cheap Euro style. And their keen criticism is not just that we are $30 trillion in debt, dependent on China, with a corrupt elite, or have gone insane inventing the most lurid crimes to put away the supposedly predetermined guilty Donald Trump.

Instead, they express disbelief, worry, lamentation even, that the one solid referent in the world has gone, well, completely rabid. They are terrified after the Afghanistan debacle that their old ally or new homeland, the once constant America, is delirious, incompetent, and self-loathing, and now there is no plausible alternative to the old American deterrence. 

So, they wonder who will resist China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea—and are silently petrified to go it alone without the United States.

  2. Perhaps they should finance their OWN armies for a change, instead of robbing Uncle Sam's taxpayers.

    1. I just spent hours on a fedgov auction site. Unissued military gear from command tents to portable radios to aviation headsets to rucks to holsters to sleeping bags and inflatable pads to boots, socks, gloves, clothing, and cases upon cases of MREs and daily rations, and much more. All unissued and now auctioned for pennies on the dollar by the pallet lot.

      Its our own gov looting the USA.

    2. "This is the USA. No one is coming to our rescue if (sic) things go sideways. No one will be resupplying us. No one will airdrop food, ammunition, medicine. There is no place to escape to for freedom. This is it."
