>If you believe that states occupy foreign land out of anything but need to control land and resources, I believe you've been force-fed a tad too much propaganda. The US occupied Japan and it became a powerhouse. What was the real reason? >When you claim NATO has been good for the world aren't you forgetting about the political meddling, money showering and laundering, secret illegal perations, and puppet government instantiated throughout the subjugated countries in order to steal control from Russian control during cold war? No. I never said NATO was perfect. I said it's good because it caused lasting peace and prevented WW3. It would be stupid for me to say America doesn't meddle. But what was the other outcome? If NATO didn't exist what would the world be like?
