America has problems, but America is NOT THE PROBLEM!~
A real look at how things really are world wide
Published on September 18, 2008 By Moderateman In Politics

Countries like England, Germany, Japan and Italy, who were once America's enemies, have become our friends and allies. In South America Hugo Chavez of Venezuela believes that America is demonic, then why does he continue to trash us and do business with us? Is it because criticizing the one remaining superpower is safe? Americans do it all the time. We regularly criticize the government, but when the republic is in danger, we SHOULD stop the trashing and come to its aid. Check Pearl Harbour and 9/11

It was at West Point, that President Bush, in 2002 developed what is known as the "BUSH DOCTRINE". After that anti-Americanism in Europe and South America got even worse! Why is there so much anti-Americanism world wide? Why if as polls show the people of Europe regard us as the "biggest threat to world peace" that they continue to insult us, after all we have done for them? After all it was Europe that help make the twentieth century one of the darkest in modern history; it was they that start two world wars; it was they that put into place two of the most criminal regimes ever inflicted on the human race, with a murder total upward of 70 million people.

But I have good news! If the U.S. was in grave peril when it comes to nuclear weapons--Great Britain, France, India, Pakistan and Israel have only tiny arsenals of such weapons. Our enemies, such as North Korea and Iran, are desperately trying to develop the technology that would allow them to build and launch nukes against the United States and Europe{ To bad about Europe} To Illustrate, although China a POTENTIAL enemy, has a huge army, but its training and quality of weapons is very poor. The Chinese have around 20 ICBMs that could reach the U.S.. Their rockets are generally unreliable.

As for Russia another Enemy {IMO} They have allowed their ICBMs to fall apart as they do not have the money to keep a steady state of repair and alert. Their Nuclear Submarine force has also fallen apart; When they were the Soviet Union they made 60 separate patrols in their Subs, now they make only two per year sometimes less.

I find it Ironic that the country that finds America the greatest threat to world peace is the country that allowed the likes of Hitler and Stalin to take power and did nothing about it. Then they cried to America to come help them, now that they feel safe and we are no longer needed all the years of being protected by us has caught up and they resent us for the job we did that they could NOT!!!

That's the story of our life, our "allies" continue to bite the hands that feed them but we continue to put out hands out there as well. That's what we get for being who we are.

Capitalism is the anti-thesis of socialism.


As you mentioned the worst regimes came from socialist governments.

Notice that the countries you mentioned have social form of governments which goes back to my first point.  Capitalism is the anti-thesis of socialism.

Chavez is like the spoiled brat, that when she is not the center of attention, has to create a scene to get back to it.

Move over Veruca Salt.  Hugo Chavez is outdoing your snits.

Don't dismiss Russia so quickly. They are currently modernizing their military, since they are flush with petro-dollars (rubles). Now they are selling the Iranians SAM's to defend their nuclear fuel production sites. They IMO are back as a major "spoiler" in international affairs.

Hugo is only dangerous because of the oil he controls.

You decide:

Communism: a system of social organization in which all economic and social activity is controlled by a totalitarian state dominated by a single and self-perpetuating political party.

Nazi: a member of the National Socialist German Workers' party of Germany, which in 1933, under Adolf Hitler, seized political control of the country, suppressing all opposition and establishing a dictatorship over all cultural, economic, and political activities of the people, and promulgated belief in the supremacy of Hitler as Führer, aggressive anti-Semitism, the natural supremacy of the German people, and the establishment of Germany by superior force as a dominant world power. The party was officially abolished in 1945 at the conclusion of World War II.

if we are such a threat then why do they continue to poke at us?

Why do children keep bugging us parents after we tell they they will be punished if they don't stop? It's called testing the fences for weaknesses. They are looking to see just how far they can go before we start poking back even harder. As long as we keep being "the better man", they will continue to poke at us till they have something on us to claim how "evil" we really are.

I for one believe we should poke back harder and when they start the "see how evil they are" we should just do what Palin does, grow a thinck skin and move on.

Seems close my friend, but communism is based on sharing of wealth {not that they do that}

Catch 22 must be required reading in Europe.

MM, both are forms of socialism and require a totalitarian state.  The German form killed lots of Jews, The Russian form had plans to kill but Stalin was assasinated just before.


I offer you a quote, Hitler said in 1927, “We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance.”

I generally agree with you in that I believe that many people are getting a bit spoiled and decrying the United States when it really isn't all that fair to do so.   I lived in Europe for a good part of my life, and from what I've seen, there is a general dislike over the American Government (though not the people though).  I guess people just generally want someone to point their fingers at, and when you are the only superpower, I guess it's hard to avoid no matter what you do.

China a POTENTIAL enemy, has a huge army, but its training and quality of weapons is very poor. The Chinese have around 20 ICBMs that could reach the U.S.. Their rockets are generally unreliable.

While this may have been true in the past, China's making great efforts to modernize its military and emphasize quality over quantity.  While China won't come anywhere near the might of the U.S. military for quite sometime, their main focus is mainly in acheiving dominance in their own region, which is something they are very likely to do in the near future.  After all, for every one dollar China spends on defense in their own region, the U.S. must spend several more to maintain supremacy in an area outside its home region.

This is a pretty good read on the topic if you're interested.
