We have already seen the kind of education system in the USA producing people who do even know that cotton does not come from sheep. And even producing Cotton-mouth senators, or snakes, that do not even know that Singapore is not a part of China.
Oh, not to forget all the muddle-headed highly educated Congressmen and women making all the decisions for the brain-dead USA citizens to follow. That, by the way is what the USA's education system is all about and producing. How does that measure up to the gloating about their top rankings in the World University survey is a puzzle. And it costs those wishing for a university education in the USA to pay an arm and a leg to achieve.
Everything in the USA is at marked up prices of enormous proportions, not just in education. In the military it has been reported that the USA military does not wince about spending US$9,000 for a bag of bushings or metal sleeves, US$1,200 for a coffee cup or US$600 for a toilet seat. And Trump is trying to coax Russia and China to talk about cutting military spending. Trump ought to look seriously at the USA military budget first before trying to talk to Russia and China about cutting spending. Russia and China are not overspending on the military to need any cutback, and they are doing just fine, but not the USA. Russia and China must not fall into the ploy of Trump and decimate their own military upgrading program. There is a report that China is building two new nuclear submarines, coming on fast and furious on top of the Fujian.
Trump is not as peaceful in his behavior as most seem to believe. His stance of needing to use military force, if necessary, runs counter to his profess peace talk. But the USA needs peace in Ukraine and Middle East to allow it to re-arm itself instead of producing weapons non-stop to fuel the Ukraine and Middle East wars. Trump needs to conserve resources to fund his tax cuts for the rich from all sources.
