US' win-lose mentality

Why does the United States (US) spend more money on its military than the next 10 nations combined? And why does the US need 800 military bases all around the world? It does, because the US always wants win-lose relationships with all nations. But, what does "America First" have to do with democracy?

97% of US citizens lose too. Today, 40 million Americans live in poverty, and 201 million more live from paycheck to paycheck. The only winners are the oligarchs, as 9 of the 10 richest men in the world are US citizens.

Puerto Ricans are losers too. The US has consistently refused to comply with 42 United Nations' resolutions demanding the immediate return of Puerto Rico's sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. And, in the meantime, 6 million Puerto Ricans have abandoned their national territory (gentrification), and half of the people in Puerto Rico live in poverty.

And, the indigenous people of Palestine lose too, as the US has been unconditionally supporting the genocide against them, and against international law.

The People's Republic of China, however, and without an outrageous military budget and an outrageous number of military bases around the world, has eradicated poverty, despite having 4 times the US' population. While only 28% of Americans are satisfied with their government, more than 90% of Chinese are satisfied with theirs. 

Win-win is the relationship for a democracy!
