WASHINGTON D.C. - As details leak of the Iran-US peace plan, including a rumoured $300 billion reparations payment from the US to the Iranian regime, President Donald Trump was quick to reassure supporters that this by no means indicates that the US lost the war.
I don’t think the USA just forgot about it, ISIS was never a real issue, just a anther cause for endless proxy wars, it’s a machine that works as intended.
“Nation building” after WWII wasn’t free or benevolent at all (USA or USSR), the tactic was to control the nations instead of letting them regain full independence - as much as/in a form a post-British-empire world can allow imperialism.
(Israel was a form/consequence of this ‘nation building’ as well.)
Nation building = funding german rebuilding efforts so they don’t go into hyper inflation again.
Not carving up captured territory. That’s not national building.
One is more literally building a “nation” than the other. I was more pointing out that USA just occupied a territory & stayed there forever.
(You don’t leave your military in a nation after the war is over. Sovereign nations don’t allow that. Eg Mexico iirc.)
Both in their (USA) image.
Yes you do.
The occupied usually surrender territorial control, and all the allied nations stayed in Germany for a number a years… hence the whole east west divide.
Anyways, I get to say what I meant by Nation Building in my comment. I don’t know what you’re on about. Are you trying to point out that the US is corrupt? Because buddy, that’s already apparent to most people.
I was saying that after the nation building the military usually leaves, not stays for 70+ years.
