Why do they hate the US, you ask....

Well, one reason that springs to mind is the fact that America is continuously at war.. I am not talking about covert CIA actions now, or providing the worst kinds of dictators with support, be it financial, military or otherwise (or standing back and tacitly agreeing to their atrocities). That is material too comprehensive for a simple blog, that would require a book, a tome....

No, I will keep it simple. I am talking war only.

My dear Americans, read and memorise this list:

Since 1945:

• 1950-1953: Attacked Korea

• 1950-1953: Re-attacked the Philippines to stop an indigenous leftist uprising

• 1945-1949: Half a million troops to China to stop the communists

• 1946-1948: Troops to Italy

• 1947-1949: Troops to Greece

• 1949-1953: Troops to Albania

• 1953: Attacked Iran together with the UK

• 1953: Guatemala

• 1958: Indonesia

• 1961-1962: Cuba

• 1962: Thailand

• 1962-1975: Laos

• 1964: Congo

• 1965: Peru

• 1965-1966: Dominican Republic

• 1961-1973: Vietnam

• 1969-1970: Cambodia

• 1973: Chile

• 1979-1988: proxy war in Afghanistan

• 1981-1990: Nicaragua

• 1980-1992: El Salvador

• 1981; 1986; 1989: Libya

• 1989: Panama

• 1983: Grenada

• 1984: Persian Gulf

• 1991: Iraq (with almost continuous air strikes up to 2003 invasion)

• 1997: Serbia

• 1998: Afghanistan and Sudan

• 2001: Afghanistan (still ongoing)

• 2003: Iraq again (still ongoing)

• 2003: Syria? Iran? North Korea?



Say, I see a pattern emerging here.

Question is, my dear Americans, do you also see this pattern?

Do you now understand why you are hated in so many places outside of your borders?

Most important question, my dear Americans, is what will you do about this...
