Hi everyone Jordan Rokai here my brand new album the Loop is out now. This album is about parenthood

panicking about the consequences for US power,

flailing superpower which has already spent the 21st

century in terminal decline, thanks in large part to disastrous foreign military

adventures.

300 billion dollars in total economic and military assistance.

Those figures thanks to the estimates, not the estimates, the figures provided by the

Council on Foreign Relations.
