And most thinking people already had agreed the The Versailles Treaty was completely outrageous.

I’m trying to think how much we have paid in reparations to India, parts of Africa and the rest of the former British Empire, in India alone we killed at the minimum 10 million Indians. What about South Africa, especially the Second Boer War where WE invented the Concentration Camp and put hundreds of thousands of Boer women and children in them and let them starve to death.

How much have we paid in reparations? Oh yes that’s right....ZERO.

The Germans have been getting a free ride for 70 years, except for some minor work in the Balkins and Afghanistan. Time for them to pull their share of the load, and the Kamerun is as good a place as any. After all, their national team for soccer is coached by Volker Finke.

Perhaps it just seems that way to folks who can’t see the big picture.

....”The Muslim Brotherhood is the mothership of virtually all Islamic terrorist groups operating in the world”.....

That’s exactly right.......and unfortunately the Globalist will use them because they ARE worldwide. That’s why they supported Morsi in Egypt. The idea is that via the Muslim Brotherhood they can have vast representation in Nation governances. Which is also why we hear the US always saying they nations in conflict have to let the “rebels” (ha!) have representation in order for conflicts to cease.

I agree it is time for “allies” to start pulling their share. Most do not do much in that regard.

Was in the Navy Exchange today, I asked the Petty Officer in front of me at the check out line, if he knew why 0 had sent Troops to Cameroon, he looked straight at me and did the finger to to the lips for silence and softly said one 1 word ISIS. He acted surprised that I knew about it. It was supposed to be hush-hush. This administration thinks they can get away with any thing...they forget how stuff leaks to the Web in just a few key strokes.
