That's hilarious. That's pure unthinking anti-American nonsense right there.

What's next, criticizing the U.S. for its involvement in France in World War II, which had been "unified" with Germany after
"five short weeks" of fighting? Don't even get me started on how many bombs we must have dropped on France.
