Which is why AC is saying that the Allies were wrong.

he didn't say the ALLIES were wrong. he said the US was wrong.

Funnily enough, when you'd finished snipping, he didn't; but before you
started, the passage below appeared before your first comment above:-

"The Allies were wrong.  They needed to demilitarize Germany, and by the
1930s, all but abandoned it.  If they had intervened at key moments, such as
forcing the disbandment of the General Staff, Germany's teeth would have
been pulled without a single shot."

Do you see the first 4 words above? "The Allies were wrong"? The ones that
introduced the passage that you snipped without marking; that gave the lie
to your claim that AC was saying theat the US was wrong? Do you see them?

You need to work on either your reading comprehension or your honesty.



this
reminds me of the massacres in kosovo. the EU and UN did nothing all
the while whining about the slaughter. FINALLY the US had to step in
and threatened to destroy the bosnian govt. only THEN did they stop.

but, i suppose, you were against that, too.


In which alternate universe did the above happen? It's not even wrong...


ever hear of bill clinton? remember him? in fact, i remember an
'economist' cartoon about a man coming home (his house was labeled
'europe') with the house next door, labeled 'bosnia' on fire. the guy
says to his wife 'call the americans and ask them what they intend to
do about it.'

I repeat - in which alternative universe did your above scenario happen? In
which universe did the US unilaterally intervene by threatening to destroy
the *bosnian* government to stop the massacres in Kosovo?
