In case you ever needed a quick image to sum up what is wrong with the US

I'll never understand this train of thought...

Study Bacon's Rebellion and the aftermath.

Which European countries would exist without the Soviet Union\?

Do you get your talking points from Bill Kristol himself or what

What did NATO defend them from? Do you know how vastly exaggerated the Soviet threat was during the Cold War?

Exaggerated? Sure.

Overstated? No.

Really breh? There's no other bigger problems in this country? Not taxes? Not campaign finance reform? Voting fraud? GMO labeling? Fluoride in the water? The private federal reserve? Oil companies keeping prices high and shutting down other technologies/ other fuels?

Or how about the corporate monopolized media hyping up racism so that people can't come together over real issues? The racial divide isn't as big as the media would like you to believe. It only affects low iq whites, blacks, hispanics, etc, who buy into their divide and conquer program. Smart black people and smart white people don't even think about that sh*t.

You also know that the insurance companies wrote the health care bill and premiums will and have already gone up?

The Flouride thing supposedly is because it helps teeth. I have a few dental friends (and a bio chem background) that say it helps the enamel...but as for it being in the water...I'm not sure why thats a good idea.

first of all american capitalism defeated hitler, so point blank period every western european country owes their existence to the united states

i dont know, ask hungary, poland and all of eastern europe what an exaggerated threat the soviet union was, apparently you dont consider a country amassing tanks and planes at your border a threat

Bingo.

nikkas wanna front like the Marshall Plan didn't work.

the fuk? are you brehs smoking crack, there was no western front until the US stepped in, england was thoroughly defeated military wise and it had essentially zero offensive capability, churchill was mostly bluffing with his tough talk and only water allowed england to survive long enough until the US stepped in

of course once it became a two front war hitler had little chance, that is why it is historically correct to say that american capitalism and american industrial might defeated hitler

there are scenarios under which russia and england could have held off for a longer time because in war the defender usually has the advantage, so maybe russia and england would have kept some type of territorial integrity, but there isnt any american-less scenario under which either of them could have fought back to berlin to defeat hitler, so scandanavian countries would have remained under hitler without the US opening up the western front (except maybe finland)

and lets not forget the us was also fighting on two fronts and it defeated both enemies on both fronts

Reading this made me feel patriotic as fukk!




until 1945.

Lemme clear up some statements, since I live in Sweden.

-Sweden is not as homogeneous as you may think, about 10% are immigrants or second generation immigrants (myself included).
AND I'm not sure what a homogeneous population has to do with a system trying to be more equal. As an outsider looking in, I think US's problems have more to do with ignorance and scare of communist/socialist ideas still in-printed in the minds of the american population.

-As far as debt. I studied at the university for almost 6 years, got a Master in chemical engineering. Although, we get a small grant is not enough to live by (unless you live at home and the university is in the same city), I didn't really have time to work while studying, though I did during summer vacation, and I took a loan cuz I figured might as well enjoy my student year without worrying to much about money. I also spent a year abroad studying and the loan is well needed then too.

Now it's been almost two years since I graduated and I'm paying back my loan ( btw the interest from this government loan is the lowest I've seen of any loan here) and I feel it was well worth taking this loan.

1. 10%...Thats it? The US is the most diverse nation of its size...AND land mass. Think about that.

2. Homogeneity makes it easier to be altrustic to your fellow citizens since you don't have barriers of ideology or appearance amongst you. Theres just less general animosity or if there are problems, the walls aren't as high. You all are mostly on the same page with the big issues.

3. Your population is small. Moving on.

4. I'm glad you majored in something useful. But your taxes are high as hell. Thats the price you pay but whats your point? That money has to come from somewhere.

I wonder what Sweden is like for a nikka

Don't believe the hype. You'll DEFINITELY be a minority and face some ignorance. Especially when they're looking at all those immigrants with the face hoping they don't get overrun with outsiders.

Yea they're really going to drop that weapon on germany with all those jewish people in concentration camps. Making europe radioactive for a while. I doubt it seriously.

So Jewish lives are worth more than Japanese lives in your estimation?

But seriously, its been proven beyond a doubt that the bombs saved more lives than they took. Two bombs early(on Germany) would have been a PR nightmare for sure, but ultimately would have resulted in a lower death toll.

A long drawn out war is always worse.

Son. Do you know how many secrets were leaked to the Russians up to the 1980s?

Hell, the FBI caught TEN spies in 2010 living as sleeper agents. basically the same as the backstory of "The Americans" on FX. : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegals_Program

Don't get it twisted. I'm not out here saying you need to be scared and what not, but to act like there aren't geopolitical leverages at stake or that countries aren't out here trying to subvert one another is to be completely naive.

Yes. The russians wen't broke trying to keep up with us. And? They still got that drive to push the limits again.

They supply most of the non-american contracts with weapons and infrastructure. They have a massively successful international news network. They also are the only vehicle we have to get into space right now.

Think about it. This whole Russia/USA thing isn't over yet.

I'm not going to defend the bombs, but nikkas forget that 10 million people died PER YEAR during WWII.
