It's refreshing to see honesty about how much the leftists hate the US. Imagine equating the US efforts in "Europe" during the Cold War with those of the USSR as though they were the same. The US was occupying "Europe" in the same way as the USSR in the leftist mind to promote its self-interest. HA HA HA. That level of hatred for the US is unreal. Americans paid to rebuild "Europe" after WWII. Americans paid to defend "Europe" from an evil totalitarian system of government that oppressed eastern "European" countries for decades. Ask those who lived in places like East Germany, Hungary, and Romania how life was like under the Russians in comparison to France and West Germany. The US has paid to defend "Europe" from Russia for the last 70 years. You don't have Russia invading those countries that the US pays to defend under NATO. For all of this, "Europe" imposes tariffs and unfair trading practices to keep the US from selling goods there. Their economies are largely depending on the US.
Imagine equating the US efforts in "Europe" during the Cold War with those of the USSR as though they were the same. They weren't the same? Really? Didn't Kennedy make a secret deal to remove a US base from Turkey in exchange for Russia pulling out of Cuba?
The US was occupying "Europe" in the same way as the USSR in the leftist mind to promote its self-interest. HA HA HA.Why can't you present an argument without making stuff up. Nobody said that.
That level of hatred for the US is unreal. If there is any hatred for the US, it is for what it has become. In the past the US stood for something, now not so much....'
Americans paid to rebuild "Europe" after WWII. Americans paid to defend "Europe" from an evil totalitarian system of government that oppressed eastern "European" countries for decades.Keep telling yourself that.... You have to, because as soon as you accept the truth your entire worldview will crash.
The fact is that currently the US maintains hundreds of bases around the world, in places where it has no basis for being there, except self-interest. But they are there to "defend" those countries, right?
Ask those who lived in places like East Germany, Hungary, and Romania how life was like under the Russians in comparison to France and West Germany. Silly comment. People who lived behind the Iron Curtain had no way to compare their way of life with that in France and West Germany.
The US has paid to defend "Europe" from Russia for the last 70 years. You don't have Russia invading those countries that the US pays to defend under NATO. Wash, rinse and repeat..... it seems to be all you've got.
For all of this, "Europe" imposes tariffs and unfair trading practices to keep the US from selling goods there. HAHAHAHAHAHA... Name one tariff or unfair trading practice?
The only thing that keeps the US from selling goods in Europe is that most of their products simply are not interesting enough for Europeans.
Many years ago, somebody offered me a Ford Mustang for sale. and I wanted nothing to do with it. In Europe they don't need gas slurping cars or massive pickup trucks. If the US wants to sell cars in Europe they should make cars that Europeans actually want.
Btw, isn't it funny that the clown in the White House is telling Europe the US won't defend them anymore if they don't invest more in military equipment themselves and then, when they decide to do exactly that and build their own defense industry, Marco Rubio starts to complain and whine that they are not buying enough American material. Who the f**k do those idiots think they are? They think they can bully Europe, agree with Russia stealing parts of Ukraine, picking a fight with Denmark over Greenland etc etc and then turn around and demand that the Europeans buy more US goods. Really?
Their economies are largely depending on the US. A stupid comment which clearly shows that you haven't got a clue.
This is exactly the kind of ignorant arrogance that ensures that hardly anybody has any respect anymore for the US!
