I really wish Germany would pay us back for that little getting rid of the Nazis thing that happened last century.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_reparations
Did we get rid of them or just bring them here?
It's a little from column A, a little from column B (dossiers of both held together by a rather flimsy paperclip).
Reparations are a thing. Also you should really read up on denazification and how it stopped being useful to the US (and thus was ended) once the Communists became the new enemy.
Stop begging for someone else to save us and do something about it yourself. Organize, get to know your neighbors, save your money outside of the American economy.
I wish I could downvote this twice.
After you sort your current situation out, we can talk about it
We tried that after WWI, let me know how that reparations turned out.
Oh, don't worry friend, history rhymes, and you're going to get your "payback". In fact, you're getting it right now, only not in the way you were expecting. This time around the Old World is going to be coming to the rescue of the New. Rescue it from the same fascist ideology.
Let me know how you plan on paying us back. But don't worry - we're not going to blackmail you into it. Europeans are more decent than that - nowadays we prefer the negotiations table. Which doesn't mean we've forgotten how to use guns. We're the ones who taught you how to wage war, after all.
By the way, Europe used to have its own ICE thing going on but we decided to disband it in 1945. Not sure why, but I've heard Americans had something do with it. Ironic, isn't it?
