A day that will live in infamy.

Japan attacked US soil and Germany declared war on us.

Did Iraq, Afghanistan or Syria attack US territory?

No..what we are doing is building a worldwide imperial empire to benefit multi national corporations, the MIC and the billionaires that control them, that we can no longer afford.

Rome did the same thing thousands of years ago and the USA Empire is about to meet the same fate as the Roman one.
