    What!? Banks gave out loans so people could rebuild? Even after the lend lease program

    Indeed! The rates were untenable, so they also gave MORE loans to pay off the interest of the loans, and so on, making incredible wealth off of interest alone. Like I said, it wasn’t done for charity.

    Much was not repaid, of course; that was paid for by the taxpayer, those loses were not paid for by the banks (The US was the guarantor).

    There’s no fantasy, I agree that that’s really what they did. Well, plus the USA seized a lot of land. And built many military bases all over the world. And much, much more.

    Number of countries that have to do what the U.S. tells them: zero.

    Is this some kind of joke? Seriously?

      What are you basing your nonsense off of?

      I literally did 1 min of googling to find info that proves you are talking out of your ass and posted it.

        I just did 2 minutes of Googling and found out that your information was provided by the Council of Foreign Relations and is suspect.

        Are you asserting that loans have not been given to pay other loans?+

        Or that tax payers paid substantial amounts?

        Or that the USA has seized land and has military bases all over the world?

        and stop thinking about my ass
