After US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth estimated that President Donald Trump's illegal war on Iran has cost $37.5 billion, critics pointed out the range of ways that money could have been better spent.
Yeah, I’m totally done with that bullshit. I never want to hear a MAGA whine about spending, fraud, we can’t afford it, blah, blah, blah.
China doesn’t invent excuses to go to war, so while we were spending trillions for the last 25 years to lose every war we fight, China was spending on energy and high speed rail infrastructure, delivering their citizens from poverty, building up their manufacturing, and more, all while providing health care and education for their people. They did ALL of that, and more, with half of what we spent on those stupid wars.
My intuition says, basic Game Theory would probably indicate that the US is cooked. Just need more time for the effects of all this to settle in more, as well as time for world culture to adapt to the new status quo. Things won’t ever be the same.
The USA of the past should be cooked. It’s time to reconfigure this country going forward.
Steve Bannon recognized that early. There’s a book called the Fourth Turning that says that we have a revolution in this country every 80 years or so. First there was the Revolution, then the Civil War, then WWII, and now we’re due for the “Fourth Turning.”
Bannon is obsessed by that book, and he still thinks it’s going to be the White Supremacists that will come out on top, and direct the nation for the future, but more and more, it looks like the Dems are going to take Congress in the Midterms, and that will give them the power to steer the Fourth Turning - IF they wield their power properly, use it to expose MAGA crimes and corruption, and fully take back power in 2028.
Then they have to wield that power ruthlessly against MAGA, crush it decisively, purge it from our government and our society, and rebuild a new America that honors the original promises of the Founding Fathers, outlined in the Founding Documents.
If the next round of Dems can actually do their jobs, instead of being obsessed with being polite to the worst people in American history, we can have Steve Bannon sit in prison for the rest of his life, knowing he was right about the Fourth Turning, but wrong about the outcome.
The country had an identity crisis boil to a head 10 years ago, and the DNC decided sucking corpo teat was more important than actually giving people what they need.

But we can’t afford it.
Half of what we spent for a population 3x the size, at that.
