There's a simple version, charity starts at home!.

 

Charity dogooding has become big business and walnut panelled boardrooms, millipedes brother for example.

 

A return to the old ways of disaster relief is fine, but everything else is optional if it's from donations.

 

America and the UK are very similar, we've been at peace for about 100+ years, the Europeans haven't and it's a lesson they will never learn.

 

 

Read it again Gareth and put your understanding head on. For charity and altruistic works we are at opposite ends of the spectrum, your 'home' that charity begins in is a lot smaller than my 'home', that is OK. That is not the point I was making.

 

 

 

 

I didn't go on to the long period of peace we are enjoying... but having a strong financial interest in another country is one of the best peace making tools there is. The EU and no major conflicts within that group - strong financial interests, the US, no conflicts between states cause the finances are intertwined. To a more modern take, Trump whether he realises it or not is offering to invest heavily in The Ukraine but in doing so is offering to invest militarily to protect those assets he wants to control. Look at Israel (as a well publicised example), 4 billion in trade within the middle east, out of about 70 billion in exports - small amount of trade to their nearest neighbours... and coincidentally little incentive to hold a ceasefire.

 

Finances rule and control the world and as above hard cash flows, yes, but the softer side, the no conflicts flows the other way

If the MSM are to be believed the USA and UK are hated, so value for money it's obviously not getting ANYTHING positive is it so why bother!

So SP one straight question you just seem to not want to answer 🤷‍♂️

Just to understand the context of how you approach certain topics, could you in a few short words describe what you do and if you are employed or self employed 🤷‍♂️this is not a difficult question I would have thought. 👍there’s a good chap

It could also have something to do with their Arab neighbours wanting to eradicate the state of Israel off the face of the earth 🤔just saying like. Don’t let this distract you from the previous question mind 👍

Yet more vague waffle, saying very little of actual clarity, conviction or even personal fact.

 

My home is this little island that's been pretty peaceful for a good few hundred years, where the police operate by consent.

 

Charity does begin at home, if people wish to donate to charitable causes that's fine, but aid should only be for disaster relief maybe upto a year after that you're on your own.

 

A governments duty is to its citizens 1st, not some African country too interested in the next government motorcade when they are more than capable of feeding a nation as your soft power has achieved absolutely nothing.

 

Soft power & democracy in these places just created over reliance of daddies cheque book, corruption and a hatred of the west, so in the words of Eric cartman "screw you guys I'm going home"

Well that’s a bit different than our government’s approach to its people that’s for sure. ATL can cry and drip as much as they want but this sort of thing is not gonna go down to badly at all in the US. No people’s car comparisons please 🙏
