I think the United States actually created the European Union, in order to punish not only Germany, but Europeans in general, for The Second World war. But, especially Germany. Besides, I also suspect that it was only after Russia got the Atomic Bomb that Americans even thought of rebuilding German cities, via, the US Marshall Plan. After all, Germany is about the only other country, in all of Europe, that Americans hate as much as Americans hate Russia!
Americans are awful sore about the number of US Soldiers, and other US Military personnel, who died in The Second World War. Mind you, it is really sick. After all, other countries lost more soldiers. Notice, in the US Media, the constant harping and harping and harping about The Second World War. When will it ever stop? I wonder!
What do the rest of you think? I would really like to know!
