When they come to collect on the US debt they want to be sure they have the muscle?

Don't worry, Mother Nature is about to exterminate the overpopulous violently self-destructive two-legged warm-blooded mammals who walk upright and pretend to communicate by making low-frequency waves in air who have been so busy destroying the Earth and all its other species while claiming they are "sentient" and somehow "divine" in a way that rocks, plants, trees, insects, etc., are not.
Be assured that cockroaches, and other important species, will survive.
cheers, Bill

Unfortunately, no. The story was one of those nuclear armageddon aftermath bits that were popular during the Cold War. I don't remember the story itself, just the closing line.

Funny how single lines will stick in your memory for years to come.
Memory is a strange thing. As I get older I have a hard time remembering what I had for lunch yesterday, but I can remember in fine detail things that happened a half century ago.

Interesting use of the word defense though.

Fairly standard, the USA has had the largest "defence" budget for many years, and been involved in more "defences" than
every other country - either directly, or by funding terrorist organisations to do their dirty work.
From the rest of the world's perspective, this is aggression and terrorism (the definition of which is using violence as a form of coercion to achieve political ends).
It should be no surprise that the US has itself become a target of terrorism.

Yes, and it will also involve aliens.

Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.

urm, US spending like 800 billion a year on military
|
|
|
|
|
And the US is bankrupt....
Time for Europe to join with Russia and create a new defence force.
|
|
|
|

They're probably like the U.S., the defense is against its citizens.
|
|
|
|

$50 billion?? That's NOTHING in the U.S. defense budget. That gets you a couple of toilet seats and about a months supply of toilet paper.
The U.S. spends on the order of $650B plus every year on defense.
Oh, and China spends more than $50 billion, so I serisously question where you're getting your numbers from.

This is the easiest question to answer: YES.
We don't know when neither how, but it is coming little by little...

Maybe someone expressed his/her concerns (violence) about somebody and they (HR) are trying to figure things out and do not want to confront that person without more proofs.
