Assange dump

With this final straw, America's heyday is over, I believe. I have not yet decided if I think that is a good or bad thing. What I mean by that is being "the world's lone superpower" is past it's pull date for me. I mean really, what good if any does it do for any real people? All it does is suck more tax money into the military-industrial complex.

Thoughts?

an offbeat story was published that described described surveillance capabilities of smart devices, with very similar descriptions of what those capabilities were. Now this WikiLeaks comes out with nearly identical information and there are conclusions drawn that this information, currently "released" by who-knows-whom, is devastating to the intelligence community.

We don't really have any conventional enemies that we need to build up our military to fight against in the near future.
Trump is building up our military to fight Putins war against China. They are the last ones standing in his way for world domination.
We are expendable tools.
