Decades of consumer debt and a political refusal to match tax and spending commitments.
In 1956, the US used this financial leverage to stop the UK, France and Israel from their campaign against Eqypt in 1956.
The US were right here, however there will come a time when China uses similar leverage against a US military adventure that clashes with their own priorities.
Something for clowns like the one in these comments should consider, pride comes before a fall.
Interesting, also a reminder of how even Allies screw you at times.
The same happened with a range of other technologies sent to the US, promises of, but nothing in return.
The last of the wartime and postwar aid, with interest, was paid off on Dec.31 2006.
It will be interesting to see how the US, with it's mountain of debt with China, will cope with this new reality, nations with massive debts do not stay as top dogs, as the British found in 1945.
I think nukes are great they show us how fucked up we are! and deep down we really have a longing to destroy ourselves and before you hit the bad comment button think about it folks because let's face it we do fuck all about it other than whine.
lol yes, a nuclear arsenal of hundereds, and dont kid yourself we could own you in a war. you have way too much land to defend we would just land somewhere remote and march
@freakunique GEEEZ! Quit your whineing, you limeys are now (as then) 'little league' just learn to swallow and smile like all good hookers. Hey thanks for your nations 'half assed' help over the last few years just say the word when you want to sell off your rather fine Army it would sure improve its equipment level.
@freakunique GEEZyou limeys are (and were then) 'little league'. Just learn to smile and swallow like all good hookers. Thanks for your half assed efforts over the last few years but hey just say the word and the U.S. will buy your rather fine army god knows they could use better equipment and support.
@PANORAMA1815 for a 61 year old, you talk like a 17 year old spotty retard. "Smile & swallow like all good hookers ? " no wonder we think you are mostly all cholesterol addicted boneheads. And btw Vietnam want a draw
More Americans and their inferiority complexes.

@PANORAMA1815 Without the limeys you wouldn't have made the bombs. So don't make me laugh with your superior attitude.
