None of this would be happening if US wasn't so hardcore abroad, Russia and China ganged up out of fear of US and I don't blame them.
When I watch Putin speak and behave, I don't see any stress. I think he and
his Chinese buddies have it all well planned

You do mean Obama, right? The man who doesn't believe in war. Funny how when it's bad, it's "Washington" and when it's good, it's Obama.

...automated systems and machines. It is the new slave. How many nations have been built on slavery? It's "the perfect slave"...Everyone else, but those in control of the machines/automation, are useless. There's the end game. The 99%.

Ok you made me laugh... It's funny how so many Europeans complain about Americans sense of superiority... Yet in the next breath will talk about their own. (not singling you out for the second part)
Least that's what I've seen since moving to Europe.

Who said the special relationship is over? That makes me angry. The special relationship going back to ww2 is just over now? For what reason?
A secret memo prepared by a Congressional think tank and seen by the Daily Mail says that the US may need a "reassessment of the special relationship" with its key economic partner, Britain, "because its geopolitical setting has been changing."
Winston Churchill's 1946 speech to Westminster College, in Fulton, coined the phrase "special relationship" to describe the exceptionally friendly political, diplomatic, economic, military and cultural relations between the United Kingdom and the United States.
Some 69 years later, when PM David Cameron last visited the White House in January, he quoted President Barack Obama as saying that “the special relationship is stronger than it has ever been privately and in public and I agree.”
However, a classified document dated April 2015 and prepared for the for members of US Congress reportedly states that "the UK may not be viewed as centrally relevant to the United States in all of the issues and relations considered a priority on the US agenda."
The UK has overtaken France after seeing growth of 2.8 per cent in 2014
Britain has the second most powerful economy in Europe behind Germany
IMF is forecasting growth of 2.7 per cent this year and 2.3 per cent in 2016
Within the G7 only the US is expected to perform better than Britain

Well it may be over for them, but I can guarantee you it isn't over for me, and I am confident I speak for the majority of Americans... at least I hope I do. This country is changing, too much, too fast. I can't keep up with it anymore. For a long time now I feel like the key western nations are being set up for failure, from within their own governments. What's next, we break off alliances with Canada and Australia too? If we aren't aligned with UK, then who Are we aligned with?
