I find that Americans who complain about how much money has been spent on the Ukraine-Russian war, fail to recall how many TRILLIONS of dollars the US government gladly spent to send the Soviet Union broke on the arms and space races of 1945 to 1990s
It’s not that Americans fail to recall the Trillions of dollars the US government spent in 1945. It’s that it makes no sense to recall and cry about something that happened 80 years ago.
Crying about the past is what Democrats do. They cry about slavery that happened HUNDREDS OF YEARS ago, and now they want EVERY SINGLE WHITE PERSON alive, MAN, WOMEN AND CHILD, to make Reparations or restitution provided to the Decedents of victims of injustice such as slavery. They want compensation in the forms of financial payments, land, or whatever they can take from the white people. It’s call Legalized STEALING AND PLUNDER.
The population of the United States in 1945 was approximately 139 million people. Of those 139 million people between 50-64% are still alive, most of whom are in their 70s or 80s.
The average life expectancy at birth in the U.S. is currently estimated to be 77.5 years. This figure varies by sex, with males having a life expectancy of 74.8 years and females 80.2 years.
So all those Americans living in 1945 are Old Dudes and Gals who will all be gone in the next 10 or so years.
The estimated population of the United States in 2024 is approximately 341,814,420 not counting all the illegal immigrants when estimates are in the 20-30 million.
That means that majority of Americans have no idea what happened in 1945 and couldn’t care less what happened in the past. We are concerned with what happens NOW.
I’m not even 30 years old and do you think I care about all the Atrocities committed by Genghis Kan.
Genghis Khan is estimated to have killed around 40 million people during his conquests, by Massacre, famine, genocide, and androcide. People couldn’t care less what happened in the past.
Americans care about what is happening NOW. It’s our time. And it only makes sense to complain about what’s happening TODAY………..NOT WHAT HAPPENED 80 YEARS AGO WHEN MOST OF US WEREN’T EVEN BORN.
