IN ONE OF HIS FAMOUS SPEECHES Churchill asked America 'Give us the tools and we will finish the
job'. But America wouldn't 'give' anything without payment. After two years of war, Roosevelt had drained
Britain dry, stripping her of all her assets in the USA, including real estate and property. The
British owned Viscose Company, worth £125 million was liquidated,
Britain receiving only £87 million.
Britain's £1,924 million investments in
Canada were sold off to pay for raw materials bought in the United States. To make sure that Roosevelt got his money, he dispatched the American cruiser, 'Louisville ' to the South African naval base of Simonstown to pick up forty two million Pounds worth of
British gold,
Britain's last negotiable asset, to help pay for American guns and ammunition!. Not content with stripping
Britain of her gold and assets, in return for 50 old destroyers, he demanded that
Britain transfer all her scientific and technological secrets to the USA. Also, he demanded leases on the islands of Newfoundland, Jamaica, Trinidad and Bermuda for the setting up of American military and naval bases in case Britain should fall. (Of the 50 lend lease destroyers supplied to Britain, 9 were lost during the war)
Russia lost more men in the siege of Stalingrad than the Americans lost in the whole war and the yanks think THEY bailed us out.
---A very good
definition of Greed
Unlike past superpowers of the world, the united states failed at imperialisation, and attempts to make multi-national corporations will eventually benefit individuals rather then the entire public (via taxes). The United states will be another Spain, and will remain the world's major power for a mere century before it makes so many enemies it falls through. When it one day gets itself into a situation it cannot afford, it shall come crawling to Britain for support, which by this
time will be back on the road to becoming the world's major power for the third time in since 1066, and will be raped of its' European assets the same way Britain was, and that shall be just.
