CaptainMarvel: This was during war. During war great inventions are made and don't forget, Europe was the home of the world's leading scientists. They spent more on education. Today can you say that about Europe. America brought the best brains from Europe like Tesla, Einstein from Europe to America. Till now, America has the competitive advantage in scientific development and they can buy even European scientists. |

Daum: lols...that was what the world thought after the first world war, until the Germans shocked them and almost abruptly seized the world. Just like in football then, the English were making all the noise about the EPL and the building Wembley and their individual stars, until the Germans shocked them, won the world cup with a more compact team in 2014, thrashing the almighty Brazil in their backyard. My point is, the German's work stealthily, and the effects is forceful and overwhelming. That's just their inherence. 5 Likes |

Daum: listen bro. When it comes to tech, the German are unrivaled. I was privy to read about some German's tech projects that were shut down after the world 2. Their thoughts, even in that time is mind-blowing. Many of the American inventions today were concepts stolen from the Germans after the war. The Irish too are naturally brilliant people. It will interest you to know that a large chunk of today's American scientist are of German and Irish descent 1 Like |

ethicallyright:Currency IS NOT MORE VALUABLE than the Military protecting it. Your currency is as valuable as the wars you can win. When you fight war and lose, your currency diminishes. Right now, America is the one defending and protecting like 90% of Europe. They are lame ducks without America. People are not accepting dollars as a global exchange in the global economy because of decoration or because they like the faces printed on the notes.

Daum: America funds NATO because it occupies the middle East in order to control oil prices which backs the dollars. Do you see European Union stationing military bases in independent territories? European Union is a confederation, a union and not a Country. The countries in the Union now play fatherly role. They once colonized the whole world. The thing is that America invests in war while Europe invests in the Luxury of its citizens. America was frustrated during the pandemic because it depended on China on the production of Personal Protective Equipments. Was it because they could not produce PPEs that they depended on China? Absolutely no. It was because they just don't like the low end production. Americans do not like Ford or their locally produced cars because they are not classy, they spend billions of Dollars on English Rolls Royce , Aston Martins and German cars. The Richest Americans buy Swiss watches for hundreds of thousands of dollars per unit and thus pay Switzerland billions of dollars each year just for watches. The average American wears Italian Fashion. The brands you hear are Gucci, Versace etc. They remit billions to Italy yearly just for clothes and bags . The average American drinks French wine. Read about the top most exported wines in the world, they are French. America cannot even export its most loved sports like American football and Baseball. ESPN and other American sport channels pay UEFA , English FA and Spanish FA more money to get soccer TV rights than European channels pay to watch American football that nobody outside North America gives a Bleep about. I could go on and on. The standard of health care in Germany alone beats that of America. Western Europe is now more concerned about the Welfare of its citizens than causing trouble across the world. France alone is more scientifically advanced and richer than North Korea and Iran combined together but Iran produces high tech military hardwares like a missile that brought down one of America's most expensive stealth drone last year when it flew in its territory. North Korea builds effective long range missiles. You won't hear that Iran or North Korea is developing a coronavirus vaccine but you'll hear about European Union Countries investing in vaccine development and trying to be the first with the best in that department. Thing is that Europe does not just want to invest in war . 11 Likes |

CaptainMarvel: I understand your point But like I said, it depends on the the time and government. Go back in history and see what the USSR was doing in the academic and scientific world. They're still doing much no doubt but you can't compare then and now. That's the same for Germany. As at now the Germans are behind. They just want to keep making cars. The world is talking about hypersonics, china and America are going in that direction. I don't know if Germany is interested. Their own for now is maybe electric Audi cars and wicked Benz products. I love Mercedes benz |

CONGRATULATIONS ON NIGERIA'S 60th & HAPPY NEW MONTH. As we joyfully celebrate Our Nation's milestone Diamond Jubilee and the advent of the new month of October, I congratulate you and ALL Nigerians for the Lord's leading of our Nation thus far. Celebrating self Government and more than 2 decades of uninterrupted democracy, let us now work towards Economic and indeed National independence by producing what we consume, refining our petroleum products, et Al. We congratulate His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari for being blessed by Providence to be the one piloting the ship of State and celebrating Nigeria's 60th. To the people of the Niger Delta, at 60 years of Nigeria and oil politics, we and our State's Governors should now allow derivation fund paid by the Federal Government for the development of the oil communities where oil and gas are 'DERIVED' to be given to and used by the oil bearing and oil producing communities for their development to avoid another wave of militancy and make the oil companies able to settle and operate in the oil and gas producing communities. At 60, the oil producing communities must be free, freed developed with their derivation fund for real essence of the National Diamond Jubilee celebration. It is well with Niger Delta and Diamond Nigeria. Congratulations to us all. Senator (Dr) ITA ENANG. Senior Special Assistant to the President, Niger Delta Affairs. |

ignis: This is not the first time they are talking about it. America spend about 1 trillion dollars (approximately 700 million dollars) on its military yearly. It is unthinkable that a single country can be so rich to spend such huge amount of money on its military. China spends about 250 millions dollars on it military yearly. Which is far more than what EU main powers France, UK, Italy, German n Spain spend on their military all together. So they don't have the fund. All the countries mentioned above are part of NATO. They are allies. If any of these countries is attacked, America will step in to fight for that country. So EU members that are part of NATO bring so little to the table. But their security is guaranteed. So it is cheaper to rely on America than to compete with it. I like Macron though. He is not anti-russia. He is interested in one europe. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Macron Calls On Europe To Quit Dependency On US Arms by Daum: 7:17am On Oct 01, 2020 |
ethicallyright: No doubt about your points. But I think even Europe had shortages of masks and they had to import from China. The middle class in America is very sophisticated and America thrives on spending and not saving. Spend all you have and borrow more to spend that's why their economy is bleeding because they're not spending like before. We all know the US is not an example of a welfare state. But about the EU not stationing military posts outside Europe, the issue s can they afford to maintain it. And Europe that could not even agree to a standing army or jointly fund defense projects. That's why I insisted that their priorities for now is make cars for the Germans, good clothes and bags for the Italians and nice wines and perfumes for the French so they can take care of their selves and afford their citizens the opportunity to visit the Maldives and other tourist spots and take tours.

If it would be beneficial for them that the US lost her world dominance power, then believe me, they would have made the switch, wealth-wise before anything comes down on the masses. 1 Like |
