@retsaM innavoiG Healthcare access doesn't work based on citizenship. When we were stationed in West Germany, you have SOFA. Hospitals are checking your vitals, not your passport. I have Finnish citizenship which grants me citizenship to the entire EU. There isn't a single country in the EU who would persuade me to prefer medical treatment there over even some of the poorest States in the US. Access to ERs, life flight helicopters, MRIs, CT scans, CAT scans, Catheter Labs, Oncologists, Dentists, Orthopedics, Prosthetics, Orthodontists, Podiatrists, Cardiologists, Respiratory Therapists, etc. is vastly superior in the US. Access to all of those areas of Healthcare is quite limited, constrained, and delayed in Canada and Europe. We service and treat illegal immigrants in the US better than Members of Parliament are treated in Europe.

@chewycaca Pentagon budget is a joke compared to so many others. MIC is so far down the totem pole that most politicians don't give it much thought. The top 20 industries in the US make MIC look pathetic.

And China’s pollution footprint is twice the US.

The Russians and Chinese don't even have comparable motors to the F-22's F119-PW-100. We already had 2 5th Gen engines in 1987 to compete against each other for the ATF program, which became the F-22A with the F119-PW-100. The F-35's F135-PW-100 & -400 is an amazing 5th gen motor with collective technologies integrated into something truly unique. Meanwhile in 2019, Russia nor China have mastered what it takes to make an engine comparable to the F119 of 1990s production. The US continues to produce F135s for the JSF program, with over 370 birds having rolled off the production line already.

キューティ・プラス You’re using per capita instead of total. China has at least twice the emissions as the US. China is the biggest polluter in the world.

@icet6665 There are tons of factories outside of China, and the smart companies have already pulled out. Did you know the US is the 2nd-largest exporter in the world? But exports are only 15% of the US's economy. Germany is the 3rd-largest exporter, making actual quality products.

@icet6665 Germany's main customers are its EU neighbors. US is the biggest bread basket in the world and China is constantly in some form of a food crisis.

@tianlingchen5523 You are under the illegal and invalid demonic regime that murdered tens of millions of Han and other peoples on the mainland under Mao, then the infanticide policy of One Child. Taipei is the legitimate government of China in exile.

The US spends massive sums of money on real infrastructure repair, development, and maintenance. Standards don’t exist for things like this in most nations if you ever travel to them and witness it for yourselves. State-level infrastructure is huge in the US. We complain about it because Americans have this strange obsessions with self-critique and an introspective outlook on life, even though we have exited every decade over the past 140 years more powerful economically than the previous one.

@joela.4058 I am a huge proponent of overhauling our schooling system, but using standardized testing to compare really doesn’t paint an accurate picture at all.

@prolarka Most of the world has urbanized areas built on antiquated roads and connecting arteries with high population density. The US has vast spaces that allow suburban and now exurban developments with wide roads and highways connecting them. Even as the 3rd largest population in the world, the US land is largely undeveloped. The US also has the largest connected and navigable river network in the world, with the largest coastlines and most numerous harbors that allow heavy displacement vessels. The geography primed the US for more advanced forms of transportation and industry, and will continue to do so.

@CaptivaLP And yet the US is the only form of political-economic experiment that has consistently emerged from each decade since 1880 more powerful economically and militarily. With all of China’s brilliant long-term planning, they have murdered their future with an infanticide campaign called the one-child policy from 1980-2015. Now China will soon reach a point where retirees become half of the total population, and already are the largest group in their demographic pyramid, creating an inverted pyramid. Additionally, with their long-term visionary attributes allocated to them by outsiders, they have at least 45 million excess males-to-females in the ages of 0-49 years, if their fudged numbers are accurate. Their numbers have been anywhere from 7-12% off in population reporting.

@user-fr3hy9uh6y I don’t get that sentiment at all. I think most realize that many of the things we’ve been doing are being done inefficiently and wastefully. The partisan angle isn’t helpful and most people really don’t care about it.

@retsaM innavoiG US healthcare has plenty of room for improvement, but is far superior to anything I have seen and lived under in Europe or Asia. We have excess supply of healthcare, dental care, and elective care above and beyond basic care. Most of our problems come from comfort-eating excess calories and sugar.

@Jawshuah The Chinese future is total collapse and the biggest civil war in history, after the famine that hits them this year.

@Nill757 So what I’ve seen with infrastructure across the US is that it’s primarily a series of 50 different States, and in each of those States are various regions. The deterioration-repair cycle ebbs and flows with roads, bridges, hospitals, runways/airports, fuel storage, refineries, sea ports, rail lines, highways, etc. There isn’t a myopic statement that can be made that is accurate. Federal programs mainly maintain the interstate highways and certain energy plants, wildlife preserves, National parks, strategic reserves for Oil, and military installations. There isn’t a steady state decline, but a natural cycle that all structures are subject to. The US repairs and maintains these things better than anywhere else I have seen, and I’ve been to or lived in 30 different nations in Europe, Asia, Middle East, and Central America. Our hospitals and highways outclass other nations by leaps and bounds, and I still have plenty of personal critiques for these hubs of infrastructure, but the grass is not greener. A big problem is finding another nation and population that is comparable, because there aren’t any that come close geographically or demographically.

@Nill757 I’ve watched infrastructure go through the normal life cycle across many States. I’ve seen new highways and housing developments erupt almost everywhere I lived across 8 different States, with the trend to be expansion and improvement, not decline. Population growth, housing developments, and resultant infrastructure reflect that since the 1970s. The claims of decline don’t fit.

China is twice the levels of the US. Chinese smog in the cities causes adult onset asthma for many people, chronic illnesses, lung disease, and cancer.

@_Wai_Wai_ Western media is a strange hybrid of corporate cleptocracy owners, with anti-Western messaging dominated by foreign services that appeal to the presstitutes, who think they're being objective by taking foreign disinformation as bravery.

And their consumption of our food and exports are theirs too by that logic.

@tiziosenzanome1457 I've been to 30 different countries, had residence in 8. I've never seen such a more US-critical media than the media in the US. Journalists would be shot or fired in many of the places I've been if they did a fraction of what they do in the US. They killed 9 journalists in Russia in 2009, for example. I've never seen media outside the US come anywhere near the level of bashing the US.

@coreyham3753 China will never overtake the US in energy, transportation, or GDP. Look at China’s demographics. They’re doomed. The famine will hit them so hard this year that it is likely to trigger a Chinese civil war, which will be the largest civil war in history. 45 million excess males ages 0-49. Where do they go?

@Himanshukumar-ek7fh India doesn’t even have basic sanitation for 900 million people congregated on the Ganges. Bangladesh is a diarrhea swamp river delta as a result.
