Americans, I’m one of those foreigners who wish you would return to your pre 1960s stability. But what is it going to take?

Me also, in a way. But that was also the cold war days.

But then, maybe with everyone just staying on their side of the border wasn't such a bad idea.
You think we should be racially segregated again ? Is that the kind of pre-1960s "stability" you mean ? Because [b]Jim Crow[/b] was a big part of what was going on back then. 😳

@samueltyler2 It’s quite possible I know less than you. Reading what is in the news is no substitute for actually being there.

@WintaTheAngle I am not sure what your point is.
@WintaTheAngle You’re right, it’s really not. Similarly, I’ve read about the UK, have friends and family there, and have even been. But it’s not like living there and experiencing day to day life. And I remember when Margaret Thatcher, whom I suspect I wouldn’t have liked, was in office.

@RoxClymer That may be so. I’m no expert in American history. But as a NATO member, as someone who has served in the military with Americans, I would like to see he domestic issues clear and a new ficus on the world stage that the US used to hold.

@WintaTheAngle that's kinda the problem, half the country wants a bigger military half the country thinks we need to stop playing 'big brother' and fix our internal shit, and it's just causing more internal shit.
WintaTheAngle · 41-45, M
@RoxClymer I sympathise with the view to solve your domestic issues. First and foremost, America should be a happy and prosperous home for Americans.

I think America won’t ever be as strong. I think in the future some Latin American and Asian countries will be the new USA.
