    Every 80-100 years



    Revolution > new country

    Civil war > expansion and industrialization

    Ww2 > world power and world reserve currency



    Now > ???



    My opinion is Trump is trying to make sure we dictate terms globally for the next 80-100 years.

    Protect the new monetary System and rid ourselves of outdated WW2 “allies” who have chosen to work against us.

    They were working with us. We chose to work against them. Unless your expectation is our allies should just do whatever our President tells them to do.

    You seem ok with it. It’s a bit broad though and factually untrue. You are really describing Europe when you say “time is running out”

    Europe has been working against us


    For starters the BS in Ukraine they tried to drag us into.

    They want that war to loot Russia.


    Fining and taxing US companies

    Trying to regulate US companies.

    Massive tariffs on US goods for decades

    The EU is an economic block designed to counter US economic interests.

    Shadow British banking all over the Caribbean.

    The absolute disaster they created in the Middle East after the Wars

    Until April, British banking had control of over night bank lending rates

    The dumping of US treasuries in an effort to **** up our bond market

    Massive censorship of any pro American media

    They killed the Ukraine peace deal in 2022

    Interfering in US elections.

    Not paying for NATO

    Soros octopus operates out of Europe

    all the global orgs and NGOs are in Switzerland protected from laws

    Bank of international settlements

    Gavi

    World economic forum

    This is old euro elitist **** . They hate that America is more powerful. They hate maga and Trump and have funded opposition.

    ****ing meddlers and lingerers

    War of 1812 was a war because Britain wanted control of US national bank.

    Canada is their proxy still lurking right on our northern border


    That’s the short list^^^

    They are not very good Allies.

    They still think they are Kings of the World

    And absolutely hate that half of America is finally like GFY

    This all goes way back


    and Canada…..

    Sends dangerous foreign truckers over our border, trafficking drugs and people

    Trying to make deals with China.

    You want China lurking up north? I don’t

    "Show me your papers"


    ICE detaining Native American tribal citizens at concentration camp

    ICE agents detained four Oglala Lakota men in South Minneapolis and transported three of them to Fort Snelling — a site that served as a concentration camp during the forced removal of Dakota people in the 1860s, reports ICT News.

    One detainee has been released. Three remain in custody. The Oglala Sioux Tribe is demanding their immediate release, along with written assurances that ICE will stop detaining Native Americans who are citizens of sovereign tribal nations with treaty rights predating the United States.

    "The irony is not lost on us," said Oglala Sioux Tribe President Frank Star Comes Out. "Lakota citizens… at Fort Snelling — a site forever tied to the Dakota 38+2." He's referring to the 38 Dakota men executed in the largest mass hanging in U.S. history, plus two more killed later.

    The tribe characterized the detentions as violating federal law, treaties, and constitutional protections. They're refusing to enter into any immigration agreements with ICE or Homeland Security and demanding government-to-government consultation. An enrollment office pop-up was scheduled for January 16-17 to help tribal members obtain documentation, though as citizens of a sovereign nation with treaty rights, they shouldn't need to prove anything to immigration enforcement in the first place.

    “Show me your papers,” says ICE to people whose presence predates the paperwork. Nothing says border enforcement like policing the only folks who never crossed one.

    The Sioux fought the Cheyenne for land as they expanded and brutalized them by scalping them.

    You only know about them because of the other tribes they decimated as they expanded.

    In 1843, the southern Lakotas attacked Pawnee Chief Blue Coat's village near the Loup in Nebraska, killing many and burning half of the earth lodges,[64] and 30 years later, the Lakota again inflicted a blow so severe on the Pawnee during the Massacre Canyon battle near Republican River.[65] By the 1850s, the Lakota were known as the most powerful tribe on the Plains.

    ---

    If the story is true, they'll be let out in no time when they show their paperwork. But painting everyone non white as a noble savage is very much a fantasy of your ideology.

    You don't know what you're talking about. Scalping was part of a larger system by both Cheyenne and Sioux known as counting coup. The highest form of which was by touching an enemy without harming them in the midst of battle.

    Counting coup definitely included killing as well as symbolic gestures to show superiority or power over. Scalping was straight up killing.

    COUP AND SCALP AMONG THE PLAINS INDIANS - GRINNELL - 1910 - American Anthropologist - Wiley Online Library

    In the end it was a mean to move across the prairies and expand like most previous civilizations did. Battles between tribes resulted in many being completely wiped out.

    The myth that everyone non white just stayed in their neighborhood, was never expansionary and didn't venture out is just that. And this criteria is never applied to Islamic civilizations which were the most bloodthirsty and expansionary of all, but never apologize for their stolen land.

    You seem to go off topic. The highest form of coup is touching an enemy without harming them. Yes. There are other forms of reverence in battle. Not sure what your point is.

    MAGATs are now claiming Europeans dragged america into middle Eastern wars and not bush. This is the iq level of a modern day MAGAT. Dumber than a bag of rocks

    Lmao that dumbass claimed the Europeans destroyed the middle east and it was the EU that provoked RU from attacking Ukr. This is the iq level these folks have. I busted out laughing my ass off. These people are genuinely the dumbest individuals in the world
