Well I don't think Australia suffered too much from British colonisation.When the US take over another country, the average taxpayers foot the bill.
When the country is being rule, democracies put in place, new infrastructure set up; exports and trade licenses and profit to be had.... private corporations come on in.
Some US historian I saw said that empire never really benefit the plebs. In fact, plebs are worst of because of it.
Military spending mean less tax dollars for social programs. It also invite blowbacks. To stop that, it require further spending on securities etc. etc.
Who does it benefit? Corporations who own the place.
No country, no empire, ever send their troops overseas to help or liberate or hand out chocolates to the locals for nothing.
Trump might be the few who actually believe it.

Like I said, it will be interesting to see, what the alternative presents.
I definitely think the current expectation, is going to be burst.
Which ever wasn't colonised by the Dutch, Portuguese or Spanish.
That is the weirdest thing I have seen you write.Don't take this as blame or such. I mean, history are full of ugly genocidal crazies... from all civilisations and races. I'm just trying to be as historically accurate as possible.
Historically speaking, Australia, NZ, the US, Canada, Israel... these were what historians would call colonial-settler countries. i.e. the natives pretty much disappear.
The other colonies were simply subjugated but not settled. The language and certain things were changed and standardised a bit, but the natives were kept enslaved 'cause it serve the imperial master better that way.
In being enslaved, but alive, people see the suffering. In being dead and gone... a couple generations later and memories of it fade.
All countries rise from such acts. Being the 21st century and more civilised, let's not repeat it though.
Anyone with basic experience following stock markets knows that whoever the President/leader/prime minister of the day is has little bearing on where the Index is at.
Again, sheer arrogance and outright rubbish from trump bragging that he is somehow responsible for record highs in US markets. Market was consistently hitting record highs under Obama before trump came into office.
Market is being driven higher by Tech giants who derive much of their growth outside of the US anyway.
Come on Junior, how about a bit of consistency. Your post from Sept 21.
When the market goes up it is despite Trump, when the market goes down, it is because of him.
Just shows how analysis is subjective.
Just doing my memory excercises, for the day.If you think so

I can see why you are a gifted financial adviser.My comment is tongue in cheek. If Trump wants credit for rising markets, he can take responsibility for falling markets!
Historically speaking, have you read about the conquistadors?
That is the unfortunate thing about being invaded/occupied, it has happened to most Countries at one time or another.Why do the conquistadors get such a bad rap ? Simple SP. They were the "Spanish" the English rivals., the enemy.
Yep they were brutal and destructive. But don't close your eyes to the history of English speaking colonization or pretend it wasn't equally destructive of the people they subjugated.
I will say, most Countries that where colonised by the British, appear to have faired better than those colonised by the Spanish & French. I may be wrong and I'm sure you will correct me if I am.
But then there is The Fed.My comment is tongue in cheek. If Trump wants credit for rising markets, he can take responsibility for falling markets!

Any upward movement in interest rate were always gonna trash equities
Okay, apart from your ideological imperatives,what's theThe Fed have been very consistent in their intention to raise rates. They have been raising very gradually, and provided warning to markets well in advance. Trump would have been well aware of this when he first took office.
