We've spent that for the US.

Pax Americana, and all.

Look at our economy/SOL compared to everyone else (including Europe) and it's hard to argue the investment didn't pay us back.

probably the dumbest thing I've seen posted on this forum as of late. how exactly did all that money benefit the US?

Explain to us why the E.U. is forcing migration on countries that clearly don't want it.


Because the EU is controlled by globalists that want to merge the 3rd world with modern society to cause chaos so they can grab more power. Just like they are doing in the US.

How so?

It's the current EU policy.

The "why?" is an irrelevant digression.

If Hungary has an answer to "why?" and wants to change things, the proper response is to try to sway the European Parliament.

If they can't do this, and think the costs of the EU policy are too high, they can leave, like the UK.

International trade and the economic development of the third world after the fall of the USSR was extremely beneficial to the US.

International trade becoming the norm was only possible via Pax Americana, leading to the most peaceful time in human history (according to many).

More trade, more liberalism (capitalism, democracy, freedom, etc.) in shitholes = decreased war.

The US has benefited the most in the aggregate from this system (although a lot of very poor countries have benefited a great deal).

Even if his CT is correct, it is irrelevant to the discussion.

If Hungary fears "globalists merging Hungary with the third world", they can....leave the EU.

SFP's general answers amount to nothing more than: Welp, it's the letter of the law and the policies and rules put in place by the agencies. If they don't like it, they are free to leave. Sorry, but it's the policy. Now, bend over and take it like a compliant little underling.

We need to listen to him, because him is much more smarter than the rest of us. Just ask him.

Words like sovereign and nationalism cause soy boys to piss their pants. Crazy how mass authoritarian collectivism has taken over the world wide left.

Is that somehow now not applicable?

Again, Hungary voluntarily joined the EU. They can voluntarily withdraw.

What's wrong with this?

They can also try to lobby the EU Parliament, but I think we all know this would be pointless.

Let me put it this way: what other option do you think Hungary should have? Promoting a policy EU members should ignore whatever regulations they dislike?

What the EU is doing is forcing member countries to accept migrants / illegals / refugees without any border checks or verifications status.

All Hungary is doing is enforcing border checks. Migrants can still enter, if they pass all the appropriate background checks.

The EU does not like that Hungary is doing this, subsequently they are imposing a daily fine.

I agree that the early years of the hegemony has been relatively profitable. I don't see it being sustainable long term. The cost to maintain it is enormous, financially and psychologically.

He's just part of the larger complacent society that believes law makes right and money trumps all..


Another part of it is his emotional reaction to anything he considers a "globalist" topic in which he will spout the left wing scriptures.

I think we all agree this is the current EU policy.

In violation of the rules of an organization they voluntarily remain apart of.

Because it violates the regulations of the EU, currently, just as if Hungary was charging the wrong tariffs or selling goods for too low.

SFP to Rosa Parks: Sorry, lady, you need to go to the back of the bus. It's the law. If you don't like it, you are free to move or lobby to change the law. Until then, get to the back of the bus.

I dunno, the gap seems to have widened, especially after Covid.

Theoretically, we would hopefully be able to spend less in time.

There aren't that many countries who haven't bought into the system.

Getting SA to fully buy in and having Russia falter would be huge steps in this direction. China squashing NK once and for all would, too.

I never made a subjective evaluation that said anything was "right" in this discussion.
