    I’ve always known that the CIA was shady at best but at at this point its quite clear that the CIA is just one of the earliest (and likelynmost successful) international criminal terrorist organizations in the world

    They literally did everything god and your conscience have forbidden. Murders and assassinations of random people that were no threat? Check. Drug smuggling? Check. Protection of international international criminals? Check. Training of terrorists? Check. Over throwing legitimate Democratic governments? Check. The list goes on and on.

    I think it really should be designated as an international terrorist organization

    It’s funny how Argentina is seen as full of Nazis while North America gets off the hook

      I have regularly accused the US here of being full of Nazis for decades actually. If anything I think the US gets a rap for being more fascist, as they should because they are, or were, idk with millei there, whom is Netanyahoo’s cousin by the way.

      And it’s well known we poached their rocket and other scientists.

    Tankies must really be desperate if they post a story that happened half a century ago in another attempt to make Canada look bad. OP is also posting ‘news’ from Chinese state media and other propaganda outlets, but apparently not even there are relevant posts today.

    America was on the Nazis side right until the Japanese decided to attack them. Had that not happened, America would have either continued selling weapons to both sides, or would have joined the Nazis outright.

    They’re not the fucking good guys and never have been.

      Actually, FDR hated the nazis even before Japan bombed pearl habor. The rest of America was simply apathetic since it was a ocean away

        The history is a little more complex than giving weapons, but US-owned companies manufactured equipment for the Nazis. “The business of America is business” rings true.

        “American managers of both GM and Ford went along with the conversion of their German plants to military production at a time when U.S. government documents show they were still resisting calls by the Roosevelt administration to step up military production in their plants at home.”

        During the war, US bombing plans avoided American-owned factories. When they couldn’t, they compensated the companies for the losses inflicted.

        Again, it’s complex, and fascinating in many regards, but the business interests that drive the US government were also building the Nazi war machine.
