No one noticed the US in the 1860's enough to send aid or foreign dignitaries to overwatch/influence what was going on. No one apparently noticed the US through the next 80 years or so after including the US being a popular place for people to go for a new life, or becoming a military power house, or beg to enter a great war, or to be globally effected by a US stock market crash, no, the US was nothing till WWII

tacodaemon posted:yeah also it doubled as one of those "ideas for entertaining" articles the nyt has every week where they'll tell you how to, like, have a funky 50s beatnik themed clambake for 100 guests at your beach house in the hamptons without hiring more than one caterer I found an old article on my grandma's attic about hosting a hobo party that prominently featured "Sambo" multiple times.

Hopefully there are enough warning signs to go conservative before poo poo crashes and burns so I can keep most of it and then gain big reallocating when the market is low again. You can't time the market unless you have insider information.

Back in high school when I was a grocery store stock clerk I'd get employee of the month for showing up on time and not being stoned. I'm glad the president of the US is held to the same standard.

euphronius posted:Hahah that's garbage pretty much. The Spanosh Americanwar just made it so that tr other powers had actually acknowledge that. Someone in the military history thread posted a Prussian naval plan for war against the US and it was pretty much just "GERMAN ARMS CHRUSH PUNY AMERICAN NAVY". After the war the tone of those changed dramatically I imagine.
