I don't understand. What didn't happen? We were giving aid to England long before war was declared on us. I remember when W was Pres. and France was acting up and Powell went to them and said that all we wanted was some ground to bury our dead.
Plus there was the Marshall plan the cost billions to rebuild Europe. Some has been repaid and some hasn't.
Don't forget the Berlin airlift to keep Berlin from starving after the Soviets blocked all land entries.
Just saying.
It is our inflexible purpose to destroy German militarism and Nazism and to ensure that Germany will never again be able to disturb the peace of the world.Nowadays, Germany is third in the world in military arms production, the Bundeswehr is second behind the US armed forces in international deployments, and the politicians in Berlin are so brazen as to think to threaten the USA economically. Looks like the ones that the DC swamp went to rescue were the same people that declared war on us.
We are determined to disarm and disband all German armed forces; break up for all time the German General Staff that has repeatedly contrived the resurgence of German militarism; remove or destroy all German military equipment; eliminate or control all German industry that could be used for military production; bring all war criminals to justice and swift punishment and exact reparation in kind for the destruction wrought by Germans; wipe out the Nazi party, Nazi laws, organizations and institutions; remove all Nazi and militarist influences from public office and from the cultural and economic life of the German people; and take in harmony such other measures in Germany as may be necessary to the future peace and safety of the world.
It is not our purpose to destroy the people of Germany, but only when Nazism and militarism have been extirpated, will there be hope for decent life for Germans, and a place for them in the comity of nations. …
