Germany's autobahn bridges falling apart – DW – 06/22/2024

    I get that. There was a time when “made in Japan” meant low quality also. Times are a changin’.

    Japan buying up all of USA debt and land was a scary Boogeyman.

    I think I remember Saudi Arabia doing it too.

    Then China.

    I wonder if the American empire will last long enough for another country to do it.
