RE: Looks like World War 3 coming for us All ! What are You doing to Stop this Evil that wills the Destruction of Everything ?
Those who write the "news" always want you to feel like we are on the brink of ww3. I see a lot of signs we are on the brink of peace and the powers that be are terrified at the prospect. And if its the Muslim thing it goes back way further than the 20th century. Muslims are why America had to field a Navy and fight foreign wars in the first place.
I hate to say this but your last sentence is not only Islamphobic but historically inaccurate.I can recommend a long list of books if you really want to find out why American imperialism has fought so many wars over the list century.
If you hated to say it then you wouldn't.
By all means enlighten me where did America send troops abroad prior to the Barbary wars? How is it "Islamophobic"?
yeah @sillykat sure hated saying that eh @funbobby51 ), but did anyway !! lol
I hope he replies, I love learning new things about American History, it is such a rich subject.
Criticizing anyone is not something I do lightly.
You mention the Barbary Wars which lasted from 1801-1815.
You said, ''By all means enlighten me where did America send troops prior to the Barbary Wars?''
Well, after the successful war of independence from Britain there were just under 4 million Americans who lived within 50 miles of the Atlantic Ocean.
The next order of business for the American government was to expand its borders by stealing land from the native American tribes.
''Indian Removal'' from the 1790s onwards became the official policy of U.S. governments which sent their troops into FOREIGN TERRITORY to steal. pillage and rape on a massive scale. Indeed, Howard Zinn, America's greatest historian has called this Indian Removal policy genocidal in nature.
Besides, the gradual theft of native American land from the 1790s onwards the U.S. fought the war of 1812 which according to Howard Zinn,'' was not
(as usually depicted in American textbooks) just a war against England for survival, but a war for the expansion of the new nation into Florida, Canada, into Indian territory.''
quote from Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States
Btw he is a she.
1812 is after 1801, no troops were sent abroad to fight Indians and the territory they were removed from at that time was legally acquired from the French and English. They didn't commission the Navy to fight Indians did they?
Who were the first American navel vessels after the revolution commissioned to fight?
"Howard Zinn, America's greatest historian "
ROFL
American troops were sent abroad in the 1790s to steal native American land.
In your comment you are in effect justifying the genocide of the Indians by claiming that the USA acquired Indian land ''legally'' from France and Britain. It is quite incredible how you can justify the theft of Indian land by what amounts to a white supremacist attitude.
Your pedantic hair splitting and sophistry fails to cover up your gross ignorance of American history.
As for your disparaging of Howard Zinn what can I say about your erudite manner: From nothing, through nothing to nothing - Hegel
steal
v.
To take (the property of another) without right or permission.
v.
To present or use (someone else's words or ideas) as one's own.
v.
To get or take secretly or artfully: steal a look at a diary; steal the puck from an opponent.
None of those things apply.
It's not theft nor a whit supremacist attitude, you have failed to prove me right or yourself wrong on a single point yet you claim victory, that is sophistry.
Zinn's book is anti American hogwash, political tripe.
