Abysmal ignorance or flat out lies, which? Guam, Hawaii, Japan, the Marshall Islands, the Philippines, THE CHAGOS ISLANDS, all the Pacific Islands that belong to other peoples, all the lands stolen from Mexico, 55% of their lands, all the lands stolen from Native Americans in the largest genocide ever in the world, STILL GOING ON!
Germany, Japan had no say, Korea had no say, and if they had tried just more people murdered which then would get an "okay". Indonesia, usa embassy staff /CIA drew up death lists which went to the usa funded and trained death squads - a million people who had said "no" to the usa. Same in East Timor. Cambodia, Vietnam, Korea, Laos, ... . When a nations says no, either death and destruction gets a "YES" or the usa buys a "YES" from the always usa vicious, brutal RW dictatorships.
The usa currently supports 75% of the world's worst RW dictators - now that really says "freedom and democracy", doesn't it?
