The Bill for America First Is Coming Due. America’s closest treaty allies exclude USannounced milit

Nowhere do I see the US "drained" Britain's gold reserve.

At the start of the war, Britain had spent the money that they did have [...]

by 1941 Britain was no longer able to finance cash payments ​

Why do we need to be meddling in others business?

Ffs! America first!

Do you disagree? You'd be among the few.

Answer my question, why do we need to meddle in others business?

US Pays 22.1% of NATO Budget; Germany 14.7%; 13 Allies Pay Less Than 1%
The USA almost exclusively. It's certainly paid most of the bills.

What resentment driven rightard self victimising bullshit. Your own figures show allies pay nearly 78% of direct NATO costs.

Because you want hegemony and you think that's how you'll achieve/keep it. How come you can't understand that?

The ones who've responded to the call when asked. Who was that again?

USA gets all the benefit in sales of war machines and munitions.

We should go back to being neutral assholes and pricks

Blaming the US for the problems of the Middle East is like blaming Michael Eisner Disney's 'Black Cauldron' (1985).

Sure. As if the illegal invasion of Iraq by the US didn't set the ME on fire. Pretend that all you want. As though all that death and destruction wasn't 'worse'.

There was no illegal invasion of Iraq by the US.

We are not the moral compass of the world. Let the UN take care of that and we take care of our sick, our hungry and our poor, once we have done that we can give freely.

We are not the moral compass of the world.

I certainly haven't suggested you are. I assert you are after hegemony, the unipolar super power. No?

 

[cnm]

There was no illegal invasion of Iraq by the US.

The then Secretary General of the UN thought otherwise. So does just about everyone else.

Not anymore ....

Good, let them do their own shit. Why do we need to be holding their hands all the time?

I couldn't agree more.

Let them pay for their own defense instead of the US. We pay for most defense across the world.

The next time some thugs march across Europe they can take care of the fighting themselves. Don't call us. And don't wait for us to call you.

Europe, and in particular Germany, have long been footing the bill for the continuing refugee crisis resulting from American foreign policy. Germany took in one million Syrian refugees. 5 million fled Syria. Canada took in 25,000 Syrian refugees. The US took none.

The costs of US foreign policy are not just found in military spending. Americans have been waging war and creating refugees the world over since WWII, and then walking away while others take in the victims and take care of them.

The Central American refugees being just the latest group to trust Americans and get screwed over.

We started the war in Syria? STFU, dumbass!
