You might want to check again Halofan. USA went ballistic over UK giving Fuchs 14 years, they wanted him in the chair. And Frank Olson was a doctor on the CIA LSD project (MKUltra) in the late 60's and 70's, he threatened to expose them, he was druged and shoved out a window. USA paid his family 750k to shut up and go away. Sounds pretty guilty to me. And they have jailed guys till they turn to dust for spying. Is that any different than Russia irradiating defectors? Look into Guatemala n the 50's and the coup of Aristide n Haiti in the 90's. Just for some reason people see thee things as OK, but when somebody else does the same they are monsters


SPPV, you are correct sir, for the most part, don't forget to throw in us helping out Iraq and Saddam during the Iran-Iraq war. How we threw out Mossadegh in the 50's because he wanted to nationalize Iranian oil (thus potentially cutting the west out of some) and replaced him with the despotic turd Shah of Iran Laughing

By the way, I know how American media presents the world. They only complain about other countries repression of citizens when we are adversaries with them (e.g. Syria). But of course they don't mention bad stuff we do, unless it becomes impossible to ignore.

Yet the US didn't complain much to Murbarak in Egypt because the US government knew most people in Egypt hate Israel and wanted to protect them from populist anger. I hate how the militarists in the U.S. for over the past 100 years have propped up undemocratic governments just to help big oil or the military industrial complex (selling guns to other countries) it's really damaged our reputation abroad.

^Spending 30 years trying to destabalise and install puppets in virtualy every country in South and Central America didnt help either lol. Or the people they got into bed with to accomplish said mission. Remove a gov the people want and install a brutal dictator whos beholden to them which in the case of South/Central America resulted in a virtual public lynching everytime.
And the douche bags responsible get remembered as heroes. Dulles was one of the biggest ass-clowns to ever live and yet he has an airport named after him. Go figure.
