    They’ve had “infinite” free money for decades and have had Norway as a clear example to follow but have chosen to squander it all.

      Gee, I wonder why they didn’t use their free money to improve their country. Was it the (at least for a while) US-backed dictator getting US aid and weapons to send young Iraqi men to their deaths? Or was it the US sanctions killing thousands of Iraqi children and impoverishing the rest of the population? Or was it the US invasion plunging their country into over a decade of civil war and instability that continues to this day? I suppose we’ll never know!

        The us invaded every country in the middle east? TIL

        Guess they’re never going to be the masters of their own fate, in 200 years they can still blame the us for any shortcomings.
