But SS officers. Less than three years after the Nuremberg trials. The trials where a sitting Supreme Court justice took time off to act as Chief Prosecutor on behalf of the US to condemn their bosses to death. They did i…
If you think it's shocking that the US works with fascists, it can only because you know nothing at all about US foreign policy and how it works.
The idea that it's "off the rails" rather than something that repeats so ofte it's not even interesting is _buck wild_ :)
Ah yes. Bringing democracy democracy, but also arming terrorists just in case people vote incorrectly. How not to be grateful for this?

The CIA? More like the USA…
They saved the Soviets from collapse via Lend-Lease. They made communist China a global superpower with decades of outsourced manufacturing.

That's nothing, wait until you find out that the Japanese LDP was founded by class A nazi war criminals that the US released from prison :) If you think it's shocking that the US works with fascists, it can only because you know nothing at all about US foreign policy and how it works.

I try to look towards the better angels of everyone’s nature. Being jaded and cynical rarely solves problems.
