What happened to the British is happening to America.
Both nations became empires and the people living in Britain & America were used ... abused ... and then ultimately left for dead.
Here's Jonathan Swift in 1712, writing about how the Empire was destroying Britain. [My caps.]
“We are destroying many thousand lives, exhausting our substance, NOT FOR OUR OWN INTEREST, which would be but common prudence; not for a thing indifferent which would be sufficient folly; but perhaps TO OUR OWN DESTRUCTION which is perfect madness.”
Exactly the same words can describe America today.
America goes around the world, destroying millions of lives, not for our own interest ... but our own destruction.
Jonathan Swift named the beneficiaries as “that set of people who are called the monied men; such as had raised vast sums by trading with stocks and funds and lending upon great interest and premiums; whose perpetual harvest is war.”
America's version is Wall Street and the Military-Industrial Complex --
"whose perpetual harvest is war."
