Hold up. You REALLY think your country has EVER "defended" a foreign country? For real? You're THAT indoctrinated and ignorant?

Perhaps you should open your eyes and see that every country that isn't America is currently cheering for the downfall of the USA. And then ask yourself why we feel that way.

They truly do believe this. Even better, they think they won WW1 (despite appearing at the last second) and WW2 (forgetting that the Soviets did the bulk of the work).

I never sad that nor alluded to it. What I said was that any military presence we have is criticized to the point of making us the bad guys. In virtually every scenario. We all know the Russians took Berlin, we all know that the USA joined WW1 late. My issue is that the contributions of American lives are written off to the point of being downright offensive and disrespectful.
