The Cold War? Child’s play compared to what lies ahead, according to U.S. historian Robert Kagan. Trump, he says, is leading the world into the most dangerous era since 1945.

    I wish I didn’t just read all of that to get to the end and you just brush off the argument completely.

    And that cold war hurt us, it didn’t help us, in every way you look at it.

    Was that line a troll? After literally not looking at it at all, you say that? And I guess we’re talking about the cold war, and not imperialism now?

    Here’s my question in response to all of that: Why did the US get the New Deal and not the Jakarta Method?

      What do you mean, I looked at it and rejected the contention that the imperial Adventures of our ruling class has had any benefit for taxpayers and citizens. That in fact it has given Force and license to the ones that have taken away our prosperity and rights. I really do not see any counter argument you are making here for how Imperial Adventures help the working class.

        Michael Scott declared it

        That in fact it has given Force and license to the ones that have taken away our prosperity and rights. I really do not see any counter argument you are making here for how Imperial Adventures help the working class.

        Here’s

        my

        question.

        Why did the US get the New Deal

        And not the Jakarta Method?

          There were not sizable numbers of leftist to kill off is the answer you are looking for. If there had been millions of protesting leftist I am sure the US would have killed them off otherwise the cold war would have never happened.

              Do you have a point? Why do you need me to answer a question to make the point? I don’t recall anything about whatever you mentioned there, the term, no idk, what’s your point?

                You’re supposed to listen to me go on for four paragraphs but I’m not going to do a single google search in deference to what you have to say

                  I made points, you disagreed with them without making any counterpoints, and refused to finish a single refutation while shaming me for not researching you undefined question, and I’m the asshole?

                  Whatever man, I gave you my ear, you chose not to use it.

                    I didn’t disagree with what you said, I told you that you were only looking at a small part of what was going on. You were such a bloviating self absorbed asshole that you refused to engage with anything outside of your mind palace. And since my patience with you was already exhausted, bye Felicia.
