Socialism is a Parasitic Destroyer

.

Most of the countries in the EU are socialist. They tried to survive on their own but could not. In self-defense they formed a European Union. Now that some additional pressure, in the form of financial weakness has appeared, many are looking to feed on the newly formed host body (the EU). Greece blew up. Portugal is blowing up. Spain is blowing up. Reward someone for blowing up (Greece) and as many of the others will 'blow up' as can. To get the free stuff.

The UN, which outside of the US and in any seriousness, consists of Russia, the EU countries and China. China is ramping themselves into a communist version of capitalism and is growing like a weed Thanks to Bill Clinton. Russia is probably too damaged to move into some high growth phase but can support itself in the sucky manner in which it is accustomed.

The EU however is one sick dog and through the UN will look to stick a straw into the United States, the only other growth engine on Earth worth a damn, once it fails to survive as a collection of weak socialist countries.

The sad part is all the stupid dumbasses will never see this happening until the USA is dead - if it comes to pass- and I can assure you, the media will have brainwashed them into believing anything that went wrong along the way was the fault of us Racist, Hateful, Greedy, Planet Destroying Conservatives.
