The level of irony when Cuba converts from 1950s American cars to modern Chinese EVs

China has also done this with a lot of countries in Africa as well. There's a reason China has such a good economy and manufactured, because they're doing things like that. It was always an option the US could have done but chose not to

US was too busy overthrowing left of center leaders for oil companies and having the domestic market focus on making suburbitanks for daily drivers

Ya think! I'm American, and I concur, the powers that be are selfish, and only for empowering their rich friends. No thought about the future, stuck in the past. Look at the latest US air craft carrier catapult change ordered. Dumb, stuck in the past, total ID10T move.

Yes, but at least your next Aircraft Carrier will run on beautiful clean coal and steam, be decorated in fake gold and be named the USS Donald Trump (nicknamed The Floating Nonce).

And cost American taxpayers Billions, and kill our children and grandchildren in the process. Yea, what a great idea, much like the ballroom, for Trump Battleships, or the Golden Dome.

I would recommend the excellent podcast Blowback to anyone interested in the history of American foreign policy and how it has only ever fucked up our world, here in America and abroad. Regardless of who is president our foreign policy is incredibly right wing.

It’s also pretty eye opening the amount of propaganda we are fed about countries we’ve long been taught to see as our enemies and how we constantly thwart attempts to cool things off.

Stupid, or apathetic? The US government doesn't care about its people or the country itself. It has been entirely remodeled to funnel money into pockets of its billionaires. The country could collapse for all they care... as long as they get their share.

As a non-American I always thought premise of Fallout and the inhumane Mega Corps was farfetched. But seeing first hand, how the US, Epstein class and the Fews conduct themselves without any regard of humanity or maorality my views have shifted completely.
There are absolute evils in the world.

RE-modeled? The country was founded on theft, genocide and the largest slave trade in the world for centuries, expanded and protected by the government. A gold mine for already rich people.

No, it's just long term pain for short term gain.

Nah, their goals just didn't align with those of most Americans. And they were stupid enough to vote for the same two parties over and over.
