    Very true actually.

    The IMF and World Bank are indeed evil organisations.

    Do you really believe the usa 'gives' aid. It 'gives' your tax money like sweet candy to nations of the world. Either this is nice troll, or vastly naive on this subject.

    The US is one of dozens of countries that give aid. The US just gives a lot less than others.

    However most international aid is given with conditions and with controls.

    It is as said above... soft power.

    Soft power is so much more influential than Hard power.

    If the US was not controlled by the military complex... it would be much stronger.

    if we want get into a debate about how grateful the world should be for generosity the US ranks quite low, most US aid is military which comes right back to the US in payments for US made equipment.

    and you want the world to kiss your butt for your incredible generosity:laughing:your far behind other western countries ...

    You do realize that the US has the worlds largest (or 2nd) economy...therefore more would still be less if we're going be percents...but whatever..

    % of gdp is the only measurement.

    The US as you can see is extremely ungenerous.

    This is because the US is controlled by the military complex.

    It makes the US much weaker.

    Soft power is much more influential.

    Until Americans regain the power from the dictators.. the US will remain weak and the dictators will remain rich.

    Since you don't get the concept I'll explain it.

    If I have 100 dollars...and give somebody 5 dollars..I gave them 5% of what I have.

    If somebody has 1 dollar, and gives somebody 50 cents...they've given 50% of what they had..

    Thats basically all your chart is saying..

    It is not my chart. I did not post it.

    It is however... how International aid is measured.

    The US really doesnt do International aid. As I explained it is because your dictators concentrate more on hard power.

    Bad for the US people and nation... but great for the US dictators who profit from fake wars.

    You can compare Europe then.

    Europe gives MASSIVELY more international aid than the US.

    Take the biggest nations (CORE EUROPE) in the EU that make up 300 million people.
    They give more than TWICE the money that the US gives.

    That is because the EU is not run by military complex dictators and they see the benefit of soft power.

    I know-isn't it extraordinary why some people would view the building of a road and a school as a somewhat cynical attempt to demonstrate America's awesome benevolence after you bombed the sh1t out of them? Ungrateful bastards.

    Prove it.

    This is a spurious quote with absolutely no evidence to show that the statement was ever made.

    Oh god and here I thought the twooftards had finally died out, look sport every single one of the twoofers points have been systematically debunked, it's laughable at this point, just a little hint, the quickest way for you to never again be taken seriously in a political debate is to chime in with your laughable "inside job" conspiratorial nonsense.

    Why is that? Don't tell me there are still Americans who believe in the big beardy bogeyman who lived in a cave?

    You have got to be kidding me.

    This is COOL! So you don't believe OBL existed and that the US Govt planned and carried out 9/11?

    I didn't think people like that actually existed except in movies and stuff.

    Yes it would seem that you have not travelled much.

    Very few people in Europe believe the joke propaganda that little Americans were sold.

    I believe that A Osama Bin Laden existed. He certainly worked for the US in the 80s and 90s. I believe that he died in 2001.

    So you believe that he "hated American's freedom loving ways"?? hahahah

    You believe that he hated the US presence in the middle east and so he decided to give the most hawkish administration in US history a FREE licence to bomb and invade whichever arab country they wanted to for the next 2 decades?

    HAHA.. you really do believe all this.

    I love it.. the big beardy bogeyman who lived in a cave.. sent his 19 muslim dwarfs armed with boxcutters and these dwarfs overcame military trained pilots and big strong US passengers.... hahah.. you do!

    Love it.. I have been to New York and Boston recently and most Americans there do not believe the official fairytale...

    you must be from a hillbilly third world region of the US? Am I right?

    The reason why the war was lost from Day One is because, contrary to the lies you get every night from the Fox network, we never got majority support from Afghanis! Invading that country was mistake because the Taliban did have support from the majority of its population.

    This is further proof that the USA must never try to invade Iran as its democratically elected government has the support of most of its people as well.

    There is nothing wrong with questioning the official story of 9/11. However....this....is ridiculous..

    Not as ridiculous as the official fairy story about muslims who hated the US presence in the middle east and so decided to give them a free licence to invade and occupy for an eternity.
