Rest of the world looks to america. If americas economy goes down it takes down the world with it.
We knew by Jan 2020 that the virus was not nearly pathogenic enough to kill most people. I anticipated a more serious stock market drop from the Pandemic than happened, and expected a better buy low opportunity. But the whole economy tanking was so very unlikely. And Trump or no Trump made little difference.
Looks like some nations gave a flying F. on one issue.
Pressured by Trump:
NATO
Lithuania, Turkey, Norway, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Portugal, Netherlands, Germany, Canada, Denmark, Slovakia, Italy, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, Spain and Luxemburg have all increased their defense spending significantly between 2014 and 2018, moving closer to the goal of 2 percent of GDP.
And the rest of the western world just followed along with that plan, for - reasons.
No, Florida and other American states, as well as Sweden, did not go along with that plan. And they had the same or better results that the deep blue hellholes that are still locked down to this very day.
Yup. Democrats were happy to ruin millions of lives with unnecessary lockdowns and school closures just to ensure Trump didn't get re-elected. They would have happily seen millions more die from COVID than did die to achieve that result.
Democrats politicized COVID-19 and the government's response from Day One, like they have done with every issue including history, language, pro sports, and everything else there is.
Trump was King and hired Fauci, remember? And even if the Pres was a Dem, the same Pandemic protocols would have been engaged from the get go, because they are medically based. And Fauci would have still been the Man. And is still the Man.
My goodness, you need to quit listening to Alex Jones and taking him seriously, if that is what you have been doing. Jones had been saying that the vaccines for COVID-19 were going to kill millions. But today I heard him say that the vaccines are now killing millions. His insane paranoia is going over the top. He's the new Q!
The simple answer to this question is yes and we’re being played... Without question.
Just like all the fences, checkpoints, fortifications and the National Guard all around DC to “protect” the Capitol from some imaginary Rightwing attack.
And yes, COVID is real... But the Rightwing attacks on DC isn’t real.
The one on Jan. 6 sure was. I wonder if many of them came down sick from covid?

Fair enough! How about some Russell Brand? Would you consider him a conservative? Most wouldn't. Here's a self proclaimed liberal that shares his thoughts on this topic.
Definitely worth a watch. It's time to stop delineating this topic between the right and the left. Doing so is pure nonsense. This stuff effects us ALL! Enjoy.
