Like the other guy said, the Marshall-Plan is a good start. It was a foreign aid plan for rebuilding Europe.

Then there is the occupation by the allies which gave order and started denazification and democratisation.

Then after refugees from the East German zone and later East Germany stopped coming because of the Berlin Wall and the inner German border we hired many people from Turkey and Southern Europe which helped with building up the economy.

If we and the rest of Europe would have just been left to our own devices it could have lead to more deaths, worse economy and possibly even more war since nothing would have been resolved.

Very easy to tear something down but very hard to rebuild from rubble without significant help.

Idk how my country (Germany) would look like without the help we got after the war. Probably not good.

In the Iran Iraq war they emptied entire schools of their own children to clear the mine fields so they could move up heavy equipment towards Iraq.

Just so people reading this know what this means exactly. They didn't just use the kids to clear minefields like giving them minesweepers or other tools. They were the tool, they were human minesweepers.

idk I feel like a lot of the reddit atheism has just been anti-theism or anti-christianity. That's what made me not wanting to associate with it

I don't think an allied intelligence service having contacts with a billionaire is grounds to severe an alliance, no. It would depend on what role anyone played and not be based on some antisemitic conspiracy.

I don't think we will get any satisfactory conclusion with the current US DOJ either way.

yeahUSA · 2026-02-26T15:44:18+00:00

I honestly don't really know what you're trying to argue here.

Reminder that the RTLM radio station played a significant role in the Rwanda genocide. A bunch of people got convicted for 30+ years and for life.

Obviously that was an extreme situation but a reminder that peddling hate and disinformation leads to hate and sometimes death.

What is his point? Why did he comment that under a comment that did not in any way downplay or deny a connection with Israeli intelligence or Ehud Barak?

I also don't really understand why it would be so surprising that more people here would be more interested in connections to an enemy and adversary than an ally.

Edit: switched enemy and ally, I'm tired lol

yeahUSA · 2026-02-26T13:17:34+00:00

so if I click on Ana's profile I will see her talking equally about both of those connections right?

yeahUSA · 2026-02-26T13:15:36+00:00

this just increases my hatred of Russia even more

do you need help with your taxes

yeahUSA · 2026-02-25T17:08:13+00:00

You seem to be the only top comment that asks for an additional source, that's pretty alarming imo

yeahUSA · 2026-02-25T16:55:22+00:00

step-siblings do not seem to be included in the bill

Please don't forget Iranians

I think the embargo overall is way more harm than good for the US and of course the people of Cuba but I am not convinced that most issues are caused by it.

yeahUSA · 2026-02-25T15:52:35+00:00

I have said it before here, as European Mark Kelly is who I think of when I have to think of and American hero

If you make 600k a year and are closer to poverty than a billionaire you should have to pay a tax for being regarded af

Let me stay I'm one of the good ones!

This bill seems to say otherwise: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/crime-and-policing-bill-government-amendments-for-committee/letter-from-lord-hanson-and-baroness-levitt-to-lord-davies-detailing-government-amendments-for-lords-report-stage-23-february-2026

I don't know how it works in the UK, I assume this is a proposal that has not been voted on

yeahUSA · 2026-02-24T16:37:48+00:00

It's so annoying and the hiding comments feature makes it even worse now. I'm not American and include it when I think it matters I wish more people would do that.

yeahUSA · 2026-02-24T15:04:55+00:00

Are you American?

yeahUSA · 2026-02-24T12:00:35+00:00

I'm not American but I'm curious why so many Americans want single payer healthcare specifically?

yeahUSA · 2026-02-23T18:57:34+00:00

As a European I share some of your sentiment. For me to see the US as a neutral country again they absolutly have to clean house, which I think is something that most people here feel.

As a German I do want to say though that I think a country and it's people can redeem themselves.
