Summary

This thread argues that the USA cannot be destroyed externally but only from within through policies that create dependency on foreign resources, accumulate unsustainable debt through wasteful spending, perpetuate one-sided trade deals, encourage mass immigration, divide citizens along racial and ethnic lines, suppress free expression, and weaken family structures in favor of state control. The author presents this as a warning about strategic vulnerabilities rather than a prescription.

    @rlefraim Two oceans on either side of North America are one reason, and the fact that the USA's neighbors both benefit from the USA and would be at risk if the US was endangered. 2)

    @rlefraim The USA, and North America, can be entirely self-sufficient, so sanctions and cutting trade would not be effective. So, the USA can only be destroyed from within. That requires Americans whose interests are more about international business than about American interests, 3)

    @rlefraim and people whose interests are to tear down America so it can be run like Europe. So, how does one destroy America? Create dependency. Convince Americans, using one theory or another, to abandon self-sufficiency in energy or food production or both. 4)

    @rlefraim Get Americans to ignore the fact that almost all wars since 1900 have been about access to energy and food. Bankrupt America by driving up deficits. We have now seen two infrastructure plans—one under Obama, and another under Biden—with trillions of dollars spent, 5)

    @rlefraim and virtually nothing to show for it, with funds going, in both cases, to individuals & companies that happened to have raised money for the Democratic Party and its candidates. Remember Solyndra, half a billion dollars, for a company that produced nothing, built nothing, and 6)

  7. #7

    @rlefraim drained money to certain people for "expenses" before going bankrupt. Ask yourselves where that money went. Yes, deficits went up under Trump as well, but to fight a pandemic, like fighting a war, there are appropriate times. 7)

  8. #8

    @rlefraim Convince the USA to continue paying for everyone else's defense, so as to have a transfer of American wealth to other countries without requiring they market goods in return, and get the USA to continue lopsided trade deals. The USA is a charitable nation. 8)

  9. #9

    @rlefraim Americans individually give many times the charity that peoples in other countries do (with the exception of Israel and Australia), and after World War II, Americans were more than willing to pay for the rebuilding of Europe and 9)

    @rlefraim for its defense against aggression until Europe could rebuild and defend itself. But if you want to take the USA down, create reasons for the US to continue supporting European economies and defense, and aiding Europe and, these days, China as well. 10)

  11. #11

    @rlefraim Create a sub-class of non-citizens in the USA that is so large that American culture and civil society are destroyed. Open borders and promises of free support will do that. And divide the American people along race and ethnic lines. 11)

  12. #12

    @rlefraim Get Americans to be suspicious of one another by killing free expression and labeling everyone as racist. Break up the American family. Make the state and the authority of the state the only thing that counts. Why? 12)

  13. #13

    @rlefraim Break up the American family. Make the state and the authority of the state the only thing that counts. Why? Because only the people in the elite classes have the funds to buy access, to have law made for their interests. That means controlling education and 13)

  14. #14

    @rlefraim keeping parents out of the process, emphasizing day care and longer school days and years, and curriculum in schools that tends to be anti-family and undermines family as the center of society. America can only be destroyed from within. Think about it." 14)
