Hitler was a physical wreck in 1945. His own generals tried hard to kill him in 1944 and almost made it. And his family was shortlived; that was probably why he was in such a hurry. And he was an emotional wreck. He would lose and knew it. Had he lived, should those facts have given him a pass?
A hypothesis is a guess, a possibility to be proven right or wrong. A conspiracy theory is RIGHT, period, and is advanced as such.
As with any hypothesis, evidence must be collected, sifted and arranged to make sense in order to arrive at a conclusion which, to me, is only tentative as new findings later on might negate it.
Those are the steps our conspiracy theorists on this site neglect. The fact that oil MAY have motivated the Iraq war means it DID. The fact that Saddam may not have aided and encouraged al Qaeda means he didn't. And facts be ****ed!
So you think they have "lost the edge" long ago, eh?
They did. They took the easy out of socialism instead of dealing with the hard realities of economics.

On the contrary, European powers regard the US as acting like an adolescent when it comes to formulating foreign policy matters, not just lately, but ever since 1946.
So what? Great powers are always resented by would-be's and has-been's. And that describes the Europeans to a tee.
That's why they have often not been very cooperative
Let's take France. It spotted an out: It could get the benefits of NATO while contributing nothing. So it withdrew its armed forces from NATO. It knew that to get at it, any Soviet army had to first march into Germany - and that would trigger NATO and a US counterreaction without it having to do a thing.
And I'm supposed to respect these freeloaders? Why?
In Asia, especially in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Americans were regarded as "ugly Americans".
By who? The Japanese? The Taiwanese? I think not.
By the way, a book by the title of "The Ugly American" was written by a couple of Americans and it provides numerous examples to explain that epithet.
Have you actually read the book? I have. It is largely about the incompetence of the American foreign service. |
