  • What!? Banks gave out loans so people could rebuild? Even after the lend lease program?

    Countries must have been devastated and then had to swear fealty to America as a result.

    Checks note

    Number of countries that have to do what the U.S. tells them: zero.

    Let me do the most basic of research…

    From Wikipedia:

    "The U.S. rebuilt Europe after WWII primarily through the

    Marshall Plan (European Recovery Program, 1948–1951), providing over $13 billion (approx. $150+ billion in 2017 dollars) in aid to 16 Western European nations. The assistance was mostly grants (~90%), not loans, designed to rebuild infrastructure, boost industrial production, and curb communist influence."

    I guess your fantasy is just that, a fantasy.

    The only pull the U.S. has is the that the plutocrats in their own countries stand to make money too.


  • I’m sorry, what exactly did they scoop up after WWII?

    This comment demonstrate’s a complete ignorance of what actually happened before, during, and after WWII.

    I am not trying to defend the U.S. here, but this comment is particularly stupid.

    Either you are a total fucking moron, or deliberately espousing false information for a purpose.
