No offense taken. Swing and a miss. That's what we say where I come from. Also, big talkers seem to type really fast...not really, I just made that up.
As far as the veiled threat...yawn.
As to the rest, all I am really hearing is blah blah blah. Nothing new or constructive. Nothing debateable. Just whining. I don't think I have been here long enough to start a thread, but lets discuss the ways that all of your little countries are complicit, at least to one degree or another, in all the things that you think the US is doing to you, and then lets discuss what you actually, factually think you can do about that as an individual.
I hope you do not think I am against the USA ... I have never been there ... But I am sure that I would meet great people if I did as I would the world over ...
Yes Britain is complicate and has a shameful history of brutal oppression ... I am a British citizen but hardly proud ... I am proud however of ordinary people the world over who are just down to earth decent people ... but am against drum beating and wars that only benefit a very few at the expense of the majority ...
As I said earlier ... The biggest threat to Humanity is a certain mindset that has no borders and is multi national ...
Those two bombs saved the world.
Actually, there has been official documentation that has been released from the United States and British government stores that the allies did indeed know about Japan's plan to surrender, but the message was not very "clear". It is probably due to cultural misinterpretation of the message. It's much easier to find sources for this material outside of Japan and the United States though, since it is so controversial in those countries. Not quite sure if this helps, but you can use this source as a lead. It was about the US demonstrating its power...particularly to the Russians.

No food? The uk can grow its own.
Hmm. Victory gardens. I wonder what percentage of Americans would even know what that is, let alone doing the work. Then again the extent of American casualty in war is Pearl Harbor and 911. Not like the Battle of Britain.
This is not aimed at most Americans. Just the mouthy ones that think that the universe revolves around the US.
Hmm, the San Jaoquin Valley, I wonder how many people in the world knows where their food comes from?

It is, but the Delta isn't. This fits well into my plan. All this drought nonsense is due to one primary factor; Ag. Beef and Dairy, as well as crops. Most of the water, better than 90%, is used by Ag. My plan was to not send food to anyone anymore. I have lived in the Valley most of my life. I assure you, very few farmers here would mind taking a hit to the pocket books short-term if it meant thinning the whining herd around the world.
That would solve our drought problem, and foreign countries would no longer have to complain about the US intervening in any fashion. Food shortages hit at least one of the countries, boom, war breaks out before I open my first beer.
Sadly, the San Jaoquin Valley is dryer than a popcorn fart. It has been for a couple years. Yes, they're still irrigating it, but I have real concerns for that agriculture, going forward. And I mean that. As an american.
