Austria? fortunately, I have visited Austria many times and am quite familiar with your homeland. What a beautiful country, I enjoyed my visits very much.DrRawBlueGreen wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2019 3:31 amAnthony's Weiner wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2019 6:19 pmI think most nations feel the world a better place to live in.

Fortunately, there are also awake Americans.
not the people are the problem but the governments. All of them work for the rich minority and manipulate their people.
I am the OP of this thread, America has contributed a lot to the world, but has significant faults. There are very few nations on earth that have not benefitted from America's benevolence at one time or another. you mean like Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Vietnam, Somalia,Cambodia,Iraq,Afghanistan, Libya, Balkan, South America, Iam too lazy to name all the countries the US was in war with in the last century. The US is and was involved in most of the wars on the planet in some way or another since the second ww. I can’t see any benefits for the world, maybe I need glasses.
On one of my visits I went to a small town by the name of Mauthausen, have you been there? It is not famous for its schnitzel nor it's white wine but rather for the mass murder of 90,000 people and the inhumane incarceration and slave labour of a further 190,000 in its subcamps.
Mauthausen was the first place I saw a lampshade made of human skin, not the kind of thing one forgets easily. Mauthausen was just one of over 60 camps set up in Austria for the extermination or medical experimentation on human beings.
Austria benefitted from America's benevolence after they lost the war, as they lost the war before that one too (WW1). Not to say Austria is always on the losing side, they succeeded in the Boxer War in China and the Occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Of the 84 wars, Austria has participated in they have been the victor in 51. Certainly, a nation that punches above its weight and hardly a peaceful nation say as it's neighbour Switzerland. But back to the benevolence, Austria received after it's murderous spree. Without the Marshall Plan, reconstruction of the Austrian economy after World War II would have been inconceivable. ... In 1945, before the European Reconstruction Program was introduced, massive food supplies came to Austria through the U.S. Government Aid and Relief in Occupied Areas (GARIOA) program. I suggest you read "Rebuilding Austria - The Marshall Plan" and familiarize yourself.
One could also argue that a number of Austria neighbouring countries were not the recipients of American generosity, Hungary, Czechoslovakia spring to mind. I suppose you could have preferred Soviet help in rebuilding your nation, but I also visited communist Hungary and Czechoslovakia and take my word for it, Austria enjoyed a much higher standard of living and many more freedoms.
Austria exports about $2 billion USD a year in "defence" industry products. No doubt none of these weapons are used in war or the subjugation of people. Austria also participates in the Afghanistan war, the one you find American involvement so repugnant.
When I think of America's best-known export I think of Coca Cola, when I think of what Austria is famous for exporting I think of Adolph Hitler. A beautiful country, I have travelled it's breadth from Feldkirchen to Vienna, kind, industrious people, excellent food and drink, I hold no animosity towards Austria.
Perhaps when you live in a glass house, you shouldn t throw stones.

I am Kurdish and I lived in Austria from my 5th to my 25th year of age. Austria has surely a lot to offer. Austria, amongst others, equipped Saddam Hussein with weapons, while he was obviously committing genocide on the Kurdish and Shia population of Iraq. Austria invited the Kurdish revolution leader Ghassemlo to Vienna to negotiate with the Islamic rep of I. Ghassemlou got assassinated in his hotel by Ahmadinajad, a later President of the Islamic rep of I.Ahmedinajad flew back with a private jet from the int airport of Vienna and no further investigation were made.
Coca Cola is poison
I know Austrias history very well and I was in the concentration camps. America’s history is not more honorable. The history of all those who have been world powers like Austria and US is soaked in blood. Doesn’t mean that those who weren’t in power wouldn’t have done the same if they could have. But what it means to me is that all governments are piece of shit and if they are powerful it becomes dangerous.
Take your American generosity no sane human wants it.
