America: The Friend Who Burns and Rebuilds!
from The Daily Note with James A. Brown
This is the Daily Note. I'm James A. Brown. America crushed Europe and Japan, then spent decades rebuilding them. We toppled dictators we used to support.We arm rebels who become tomorrow's enemies. It's the most expensive friendship in history. America is the kind of friend who burns your house down and shows up with lumber and a checkbook.Sure, the new house is nice, but you remember who lit the match on the old one. And our taste in friends. It changes every four to eight years. One president's ally becomes the next one's enemy.Democracy when it suits us, strong men when it doesn't. Most countries have learned to smile and hedge their bets.They'll take our money in our protection, but they're not putting all their eggs in our basket. Smart move. Probably. So what do you think?
