| | yet its feb already...
it's true wat the Chinese proverb say...
萬事起頭難...
so lets start on a bright note...
eating ice cream after playing basketball is a bliss...
but back to business...
a program on BBC 2 called "Mortgaged to the Yanks"...
it shows some of more revealing side of history after WWII...
it's about how WWII bankrupted Britain...
and that Britain desperately need to look for help somewhere...
it showed how Americans was not willing to give an aid to Britain (5billion dollars, 54billion for present)...
but rather a thick ropes attached 50 years commercial loan (3.75billion at 2%)...
which is quite fitting to what John called them, Shylock...
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Keynes)
Britain and America were great allies in a war...
but i (americans) will do f**k all to help you, get lost...
and they felt they done their bits for the war...
(
yea rite, you only got involved more, which was at a very very late stage, because the japs bloody bombed pearl habour...
before that, you were quite happily seeing all the other nations falling to the nazis and doing nothing...
)
even when it was in the term of a loan...
it was having trouble passing in the congress...
they even called Britain the "world leader of communism" because the labour was in office...
(nowadays, the labour party is anything but communism, if you are rich, they welcome you with open arms)
not exactly the great ally that they teach in the textbooks...
so how did it pass the bloody congress, who was in disillusion about not getting suck into another war...
well, Stalin became more powerful...
but still then, the threat of bankruptcy was still imminent...
why?
because the ropes attached in the loan...
after the loan, no one wanted pounds any more...
Bank of England traded most of its dollar reserve away already...
and if there is no dollar reserve left...
Britain would in deed go bankrupt, which was what the loan was suppose to prevent bankruptcy...
so who bail out Britain...
guess and be surprised...
it was Stalin...
Stalin offered an AID, I repeat an AID to Britain...
I know, I know, Stalin is considered evil to some of you...
but at least he wasn't as stingy as the bloody Americans...
guess who decided to step after Stalin?
the bloody Americans, who is so f**king scared of communism spreading across the continent...
an aid of 3billion...
i dunno about you, but i formed my own opinion of america already...
and this knowledge only strengthen it...
so much for special diplomatic relationship with the f**king americans...
and there is a similar one which exist now, Blair Bush...
and this makes me worry quite a lot...
all in all, there is not much difference on american policy then and now...
*cough. iraq
why don't they teach these history in schools?
why do we feel the need to always portrait the americans as the good guys?
why trust them?
they would only act when they need to safe their own skins anyway...
and not before all of you getting f**ked over first...
no wonder history in school is such a turnoff...
teach me what i need to know...
not what they want us to think...
p.s. the loan was only paid off in 2006, and also, fuck off Blair, and if Gordon is also american's bitch, he can fuck off as well...
