US: hands off our citizens (Zotted with rusty tin can)

[ASA Vet]

the invasion force of 90,000 men would have been decimated.

Leaving 81,000 German soldiers. You'd have been in deep kimchee.

There is no excuse for that kind of ####ing language, you ####ing twit!!!!!!!!!

Just kidding. Your point is well taken. While we cannot trust most countries to be fair if we allow extradition of our citizens, we should trust the Brits, our allies for most of our history.

While I'm no expert, I don't think that there are any British "citizens." They're "subjects."

It's true you're not an expert, in fact you're totally wrong. The British Nationality Act clearly states that we're citizens, as does my passport.

I stand corrected... You've been a citizen of Great Britain since 1981. I've been a citizen of the USA since 1962. Welcome to the club.

THis poster does have a valid point, albeit unimaginativelly vulgar. THe U.S. should not be requesting extradition from another country to the U.S. on one standard, but demand a higher standard for countries requesting extradition from the U.S. And the U.S. has no business requesting extradition of suspects who have not committed crimes in the U.S. or against U.S. interests outside the U.S.

Well said, Sir, and God bless you.

All of this "we didn't need America" nonsense is an attempt in Europe these days to get out from under our dominance. There's no limit to the fantasy scenarios they will swallow to achieve that goal, as Anglo demonstrates by citing a "study" in the "'70s", wow, now that's historic.

I've had this discussion before, and am reluctant to start it again. Europeans are pathetically pretending Russia won the war, which is kind of like saying Europe lost WWII twice, once to Germany and once to Soviet Russia.

Without the US fighting in Asia, Japan could have easily attacked Russia from the East, defeating Russia in three weeks. Without the US bombing Germany, fully operational German industry plus reinforcements of occupying armies from Western Europe would have defeated Russia.

On D-day there were something like 29 Nazi divisions, 33 American divisions, and around 3 European divisions, 2 British and one made up of Euro-scraps from other countries. Without US, 3 European divisions against 29 Nazi divisions, any fool can see it was no contest.

Of course Britain would have only lost, and could have only lost, and Germany would have easily defeated Russia with no pressure from America. But then, the self-esteem needs in Europe today are intense, and that's putting it mildly.

I think this should go to Mark Levin. I know the worlds courts have some crazy ideas as to who is a criminal. Some of our state and local governments do also. I think Mark would know more about said treaty.

If I had time to do a little research I bet there is a lot more to this story than what was posted.

My gut feeling says this diatribe is a bunch of hogwash.

I noticed he has been zotted, however I often post articles and I don't reply to any replies. Does that mean I am zot material?

[darkwing104]

What Mr. Johnson proposes is reasonable. That is what the original poster should of posted in the first place.

[Anglo]

i'm given to understand that its 20 US Divisions, 14 British divisions, 3 Canadian divisions and one each from France and Poland.

[mollynme]

No - but it would depend on the article. A "for your information" type of article often doesn't need replies unless you're interested in discussing it. An "in your face" posting that generates questions/complaints would hopfully get responses from you.

your courts can prosecute American citizens in-absentia for your legal definition of slander and libel, and impose binding financial penalties. For this reason, Muslim groups use your courts to shut Americans up about islamic "charity" and other groups having connections to terror groups.

so don't expect any sympathy, dude.
