Our friends, our enemies
Think hard. Europe went to war in 1939. The U.S. did not. Wasn't that strange? In fact, the U.S. capitalists didn't give a damn about Europe. Thepr interest was in China, a country the U.S. capitalists had wanted to steal since they saw how the British had plundered China. Indeed, since 1918 the U.S. capitalists had been building their massive fleet to serve in the Pacific, with rather less in the Atlantic. And in 1939, the British, who had plundered China for centuries, needed all their troops in Europe. U.S.capitalists then put all their interest in getting control of the ruler of China.
That ruler was the unspeakably corrupt Chiang Kai-Shec. Chiang used China as the centre for the massively profitable drug trade throughout the Far East. And he kept uncounted millions of dollars which Chiang happily shared with the U.S. since he needed an ally. (The Chinese communists were crashing in on him.)
Chiang had to flee to Taiwan and, eventually, to the U.S. But meanwhile, a newer force had swept into China. It was Japan which had it's own plans to plunder China, and it did it's job very quickly.
The U.S. capitalists had earlier prepared their bases on Pearl Harbour to attack China and to plunder it. And the Japanese were well aware that the U.S. was planning to bomb them. So they bombed Pearl Harbour first. That committed the U.S. to an even bigger war on China and, indeed, to Japanese invasions all over the Pacific which the Americans had to flee.
It was at this point the U.S. realized it needed more friends. Reluctantly, at the very end of 1942, it joined the war in Europe. But the bulk of it's army was never in Europe. Indeed, a large part of the western American army was in Africa. American capitalists were well aware of British control their over the oil fields there. And immediately after the war, American capitalists would force the British to give those oil fields to the U.S.
Result? World War Two made Britain a shabby orphan largely caused by American actions. American behaviour in China has actually been overcome by the Chinese. (Not that the Bri4We
However, it is quite possible that the U.S. will now destroy itself, having destroyed any agreement with what America means. Watch for major splits in the U.S. Watch for large sections of the U.S. breaking away - and maybe even for a civil war - which might have a fallout in Canada. There are just too many kinds of greed running loose in the U.S.
Meanwhile, over 2O million Americans have no food. And that disorder in the U.S. might well have a dangerous impact on Canada.
Also meanwhile, the U.S. is likely to turn loose the CIA, its murdering gang in the U.S. and all over the world including Canada. And it's very likely the CIA will murder Julian Assange.
In all the last seventy years of murder, one thing is striking. The U.S. army, the most expensive and ruthless army in the world, has been a colossal failure in most of it's wars. Afghanistan is a strong example of that. And think hard, the Canadian army was just as brutal and ineffective in Afghanistan. (I really don't understand how the Canadian Legion and the Canadian government could be so brainless as to support the idea of fighting American wars.)
Meanwhile, we're all pumping oil though we know that's killing us and destroying what's left of this world. Canadian governments (and a majority of the Canadian people so far have been quite brainless.
