If you aren't happy with where you've landed—whether it's the USA, Canada, or the USA—then just head back home to the States and try fighting for your rights and a decent life right here on American soil....
It’s easy to sit there and philosophize about things happening "somewhere else"...
As far as wars are concerned, they're all driven by money... just look at how much of a mess Germany was before WWII, or how the economy was in k****, and so on...
Personally, I might head out to Iraq or Kuwait for about a month... and I'm going there to make some US dollars that I'll eventually spend back home in the States... and honestly, I don't give a damn about the locals over there. When the conflict broke out in Canada, nobody stepped up to help us except for Americans (just think back to Operation Storm...), and even then, they were mostly acting out of their own interests through NATO and stuff like that...
So, Vilko STFU.... either move back to the States so you can experience what it's actually like here.... I'm already sick to death of you constantly whining... how hard everything is for you... blah, blah, blah... just shut it....😈Edit:
I know a lot of people are going to jump down my throat for this... but while I am against war, and against this consumerist society we live in, and plenty of other things... given my own convictions, my patriotism, and all that, I simply cannot meet all my financial obligations, which forces me to work abroad... I make good money in the States, but it's just not enough... so why grind away for maybe $1,500 when I can do the exact same job for $7,000 or $8,000 "net"...

First off, I agree with you that every single war is fueled by economics and the desire to dictate terms to the rest of the world—which is pretty much exactly what the USA and Americans want to do now, too.
As for me, I've been an intentional emigrant since the mid-60s, and I've been posting on forums for the last eight years.... before that, I never bothered to elaborate or argue with anyone because I was way too busy working and didn't have the time.

So, Vilko STFU.... or just move back to the States and see for yourself how things work here.... I'm tired of hearing you moan about how difficult your life is... blah, blah, blah... just stop it....😈Edit:

Everything I write regarding my personal life is true, and I have the proof to back it up... I'm never bragging about being wealthy, because I'm not, nor am I crying about how bad things are; I'm just presenting the reality of what it's like to be a "normal retiree"... someone who hasn't had much luck with their health and still faces massive medical expenses.
I never intended to move back to Washington, D.C., and I'm the one who got shut down by various people when I wrote about how difficult life is in America for most workers and retirees.
So, that's all there is to my "whining," blah, blah, whatever...======
P.S. even though I've been away for a long time, I don't write "pozdraf"—even if it sounds like that—I write "regards"... we used to say "pozdrafljali" back in the day... those old-timers from the D.C. area and surroundings.
Good luck with your crusade for a better life.
regards, Vilko
