So, which country is the US going to be absorbed by?


You're saying the US is simultaneously non-functional but also responsible for providing free healthcare to every other country?

If we're non-functional, where is all the foreign aid providing free stuff for us?

C'mon other countries, give us free stuff. It will be great for your soft power, and prevent us from doing terrorist attacks on you.


I don't think the US is responsible for providing free healthcare for other countries. It should start doing that for its own people, though. That would be a big step towards being a functional country. Or maybe just not have legislation called "One Big Beautiful Bill". The US is a joke.

You are getting a lot of free stuff, because you own the dollar. That keeps you afloat so far, but I don't think it will last for much longer.


Why do you keeping making posts implying the US provides the bulk of international aid when that is demonstrably not the case (on a % of GDP basis or total dollar amount)?


If it’s not a significant amount then why is it such a catastrophe if it stops?
