I love the "yank" phrase you Euro's use.

they paid back what they had to. it was in our interest to do it anyway. we helped the russians and chinese out a lot too. what did they pay us?

2nd part was a reference to our Monroe Doctrine. You know when no european country could interfere with affairs in the americas? Do you honestly think we had the military power to enforce that? Our policy but the british directly and indirectly enforced it.

Right... and that was clearly in their best interests. I don't think we'd be speaking portugese though. It wasn't about the US... it was about the central american and south american colonies.

our interests and theirs during (germany , japan) and after (soviet union) the war were the same. no point arguing about it. we helped them but we needed to help them. the sooner they got back on their feet after the war the better for us because of the threat of the commies.

obviously i'm exagerrating a bit. doubtful portugal was big enough to really conquer us. i was just trying to think of how we benefited from our european allies as well. a better one to point out would've been the french sending us aid during the revolutionary way but that was against the brits.

I know it means North American, but who ****ing cares? You're all the same buncha ****s anyway.

We've adapted it.

Don't tell us how to use our own language for ****s sake.
