Historical borders of Finland

1. Nothing is changed. The USA does not always have 100 % control, which is not the same as no control at all.

2. Got your meaning, but you obviously did not get my reasoning. I do not want to get involved in an endless debate about the crimes of some of the members of the US armed forces. I have no desire for that. But because you are twisting my arm, here's an example of the matters I was talking about. I do NOT wish to continue this side-track any more!

3. I'm sure you would like it to be so, but it still is not. The list is valid and totally meaningful, despite of your claims. It's like making a judgement based on miss-spelling a word.

 

1. There's more forms of aid than just arms exports. The political support is often the most important form.

2. Please do bother. I would love to see how you try to change black to white.

3. True, also with the many dictatorships the USA officially is supposed to be against. As I wrote, many of those dictatorships are dependent on the US aid and support.

 

Somebody close this thread please.

 

Nobody is making you read it.

 

It's not control if you have to ask them and they can say "No".

 

You're right. This "thread" has deteriorated into a crap fest not worthy of the forum here. That's my concern.

 

"Not worthy?"

Respectfully, I wonder what would be needed in order to ensure that every post was "worthy" on a forum.

 

That was comrade Stalin's most grievious mistake. ....hmm, I mean he shouldn't have torn Karelia appart.

 

First ask yourself what you can do.
