Let's see... the invasion of Iraq was illegal and both France and Russia lost their oil deposits in that country for the 'rebuild', that yank companies profited from. Just because Washington said so and was the strongest. The overthrow of Gaddafi led to China (and I think Russia) losing their oil deposits in that country, just because Washington said so and was the strongest.

And political parties yanks invest in were eager to support. Now Washington is no longer the strongest, and those same political parties know how this works. Anyone who thinks bygones will be bygones... that's not how it works.

(The yanks carefully teach political parties they invest in: "The weak should fear the strong, the strong should be bold, the strong should take from the weak." And if you want to be friends with them, you take from your own people, as they just did with lock downs and previously with what's now called 'lock-outs', weakening your own country, so only Washington takes from weaker countries, and you have to be too dumb to notice what you just did.).

The picture is why Washington cannot afford a war, so hope Russia and China fighting other people will bring them down to the same level of debt (how may aircraft carrier fleets have they taken out of storage? None. Now you know. Dirty world, isn't it?).
