The people who would investigate it are also bought by Israel.

There's this interesting narrative that the US is doing this for other countries. I feel it takes away from the history that the US always does things for the benefit of the US - those in power in the US, at least. The moment the US goals stop aligning with Israel, they will discard Israel, the same way they did Iraq and Saddam Hussein. The smartest thing Israel did was attaching themselves as the US's loyal dog in the Middle East.

Again, only because the US wanted to. Trump is obsessed with asserting his influence on the world. He kidnapped the leader of Venezuela, threatening Colombia and basically the world, harsh embargoes on Cuba, etc. He wants to control more oil and be seen a liberator in Iran. Yes, Israel might have come up with the plan, but let's not act like the US is not terrorizing half the world, and aren't salivating at the thought of controling more oil and countries.

The American politics systems allows United States to funnel money to Israel and Israel basically just use part of it to pay your politicians to funnel more money to Israel. They basically have an entire traitor government selling out their country and people. The government also brainwashed the people enough that almost all Americans felt that their freedom of speech means something, as if their social media post or shouting to the void can fix their government.

They both are together, My dude you dont even have look at politics or economy. Just look at the top websites, apps and all entertainment stuff that people globally have been consuming and getting hooked on every single day for decades. America has been leading in a lot of things. Now the freaking moon is next.

It's funny how saying something like this used to be the equivalent of saying that the Earth is flat.

Does Japan really have any momentum after the 90s? Their current gdp per capita is still lower than 1995

Nope, it’s been in deep shit for over 30 years and counting. There was some optimism in the early 2010s but that has been gone since COVID See how they elected female Trump

Went to Japan for my honeymoon in 2025 and was shocked at the price of most things out there (especially coming from Los Angeles). A beautiful country it’s sad to see what’s happening.
