First 50 years of the last century the US was at war about 12% of the time

 

In the last 50 years of the last century it was at war about 35% of the time

 

This century it has been at war 100% of the time.

You did not read Soundline comment about Germany needing a war,...which being the reason for immigration to the states. Just in case you were wondering the German wars of the time period I listed them.

Germans have been fighting other European countries since the Romans, but a lot of the Germanic people from the Roman times ended up in France and Spain. Being a central European country puts them in the middle of literally everything.

 

Germans are a very tolerant people because of their history, but when the restraints are broken it ends up in all out war, that's how it's been for 2000 years.

                Read an article in the local paper.California's attorney general

told state lawmakers that he needs more money if he's going to continue

fighting Trump's proposals.Part of this is to fight against Trump's immigration

proposals.

               Funny how we don't get to vote on things like this,BUT,then again,

someone voted for these Bozos (not me).

Germany is in the middle someone takes a shot at someone else, Germany is in the middle. Being in the middle, every Kaiser formed massive army.

That's why so many German mercs were used in the revolt here.

 

It's not like 'Merica is any better here's a list of Wars we've jumped into:

1900: Chinese Boxer Rebellion

1901: Panamanian War for Independence from Columbia

1902: Colombian Civil War

1903: Honduran Civil War

1903: Dominican Revolution

1903: Syrian Muslim Revolt

1903-04: Abyssinia (Ethiopia)

1903-14: Isthmian Canal

1904: Dominican Revolt (again)

1904-05: Korea during the Russo-Japanese War with the fighting in Korea

1906-09: Cuba (to overthrow the government empowered by a legitimate uprising there)

1907: Honduras (Honduran - Nicorraguan War)

1910: Occupation of Nicaragua

1911: Honduras (Revolt)

1911: China Xinhai Revolution

1912: Honduras Puerto Cortes

1912: Panama to "oversee the election"

1912: Cuba (Oriente Province)

1912: China round 2 Xinhai Revolution

1912: Turkey, First Balkan War

1912-1925: Nicaragua quelling rebellions

1912-1941: China protecting "American Intrests" post Kuomintang rebellion

1913: Mexico extracting Americans from Yaqui Valley

1914: Hati shutting down rebels

1914: Dominican Republic enforcing US led peace by blasting the shit out of civilians.

1914-1917: Mexico, Tampico Affair, interesting mess, but basically we kicked Mexico in the heuvos.

1915-1934: Hatian Occupation (they kept rebelling against the ppl we put in power)

1916: China, Nanking quelling a riot on "American Property"

1916-1924: Occupation of Dominican Republic after "chronic rebellion against American influence"

1917: China, Chungking quelling riots threatening American interests

1917-18: US declares war on Germany to enter WW1

1918-19: Mexico... again... Battle of Ambos Nogales

1919-1920: Panama, Occupation to prevent the overthrow of the US backed government

1918-20: Russia, American Expeditionary Force Siberia & American Expeditionary Force North Russia against the Bolsheviks

1919: Dalmatia (Serbia) to enforce peace between the Serbians and Italians

1919: Turkey, during the Greek Occupation of Constantinople

1920: Guatemala to protect US interests during their Revolution...

1920-22: Russia to claim the Bay of Vladivostok... which we had zero claim to

1921: panama and Costa Rica over a boarder dispute

1922-23: China, repeatedly sending in the Marines during riots against the US backed government

1924: Honduras during their Elections, big surprise, the US backed candidate won....

1924: China, again Marines sent in repeatedly to kill rioters against the US backed government elements in Shanghai

1925: China, again Marines sent in repeatedly to kill rioters against the US backed government elements in Shanghai again....

1925: Honduras, La Ceiba, to prevent uprising against US backed government

1925: Panama, quell rent riots against US Occupation...

 

So... these are JUST the situations where US Military Forces killed people in other countries in the first quarter of the 1900's. Technically we weren't "at war" for most of these. But the president sent in troops to kill people to further American agendas.

 

Common English definition of War is, "a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state."

 

I'd make the case that anytime a uniformed invading force from one country invades into another countries boarders, armed, and kills people there, or fires on them in a naval battle.... that meets the definition of the word, although not officially declared by US congress.

To be fair... here's what we're doing 2010-2017

2001-2014: Afghanistan War

2003-11: Iraq War

2004- present: Pakistan (drone and ground support in War in Nortwest Pakistan)

2010- present: Yemen **

1999-2010: Columbia, "Plan Columbia" ***

2008-10: Mexico & all Central America Meridia Initiative ***

2010-11: Iraq Operation New Dawn **

2011: Libya ** enforcing UN resolutions during Operation Odyssey Dawn

2011: Pakistan Operation Neptun Spear **

2011: Somalia **

2011- present: Uganda, supporting US backed forces **

2012: Jordan, to contain the Syrian Civil War

2012: Honduras, joint campaign to stop drug trafficking ***

2012: Turkey, missiles and troops to contain Syrian Civil War

2012: Chad, to pull Americans out of Central African Republic

2013: Mali, supporting a French campaign there.

2013: Korean Crisis (its only on the list because so many DPRK citizens starved to death... you keep it or toss it)

2013: Somalia & Libya: SEALS make night raids killing and capturing **

2014- present: Uganda, US forces attempting to locate Kony and his forces

2014-present: Iraq.... again... to support the US backed gov against ISIS **

2014: Yemen, SEALs hostage rescue missions into the country result in recovering two Americans that both died. **

2015: Cameroon, American intervention in the civil war there

 

 

** War on Terror

*** War on Drugs

 

There's more, but... I'd say this paints an accurate picture. These are only cases where there were deaths of nationals of other countries due to the US using, US weapons/military. The only exception is the 2013 Korean Crisis, which you can take or leave.

There's a lot of stuff we pulled that I didn't include. The First & Second Cod Wars were left off because the only official fatality was an Icelandic Engineer who died accidentally. And they occurred in 1958-61, & 1972-73. We pretty much stayed out of those, as we have military bases in both countries. Jumping in the middle of them wouldn't really change things for us.

 

Basically... we've been at war since our inception. "Protecting American Intrests" is really not a lot different than colonization.

The French are no strangers to terrorism. They had colonies in Algeria, which they had invaded in the 1800s, who fought and won their independence.

They used to react a bit more aggressively to it though. The froggies used to kill the offender, cut off his talley-whacker and nards and place them in the mouth of the corpse. That deterred Abdul and Ahkmed (as well as Ho and Ngyuen) quite a little bit. Naturally, those same groups got to mimicking the behavior and both sides eventually abandoned it. Still as late a 1959 or 1960 some Algerian students who had protested in Paris (don't remember over what) were found murdered in the canals and it's generally accepted that the gendarmes had done the killing. None were ever punished though.

 

Yeah, the froggies used to not coddle their foes.

 

Joachim_Peiper_in_the_field.jpg

 

Joachim Peiper

 

Joachim Peiper (German pronunciation: [ˈjoːaxɪm ˈpaɪpɐ]; 30 January 1915 – 14 July 1976), also known as Jochen Peiper, was a field officer in the Waffen-SS during World War II and personal adjutant to Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler between November 1940 and August 1941.

 

Peiper fought on both the Eastern Front against the Red Army and the Western Front against the Western Allies, and was awarded by Nazi Germany the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords.

 

Peiper was convicted of war crimes committed in Belgium and imprisoned for almost 12 years. He was accused of war crimes in Italy, but Italian and German courts concluded that there was insufficient evidence to warrant prosecution.[1]

 

After his release from prison, Peiper worked for both Porsche and Volkswagen, before moving to France, where he translated books from English to German under the nom de plume "Rainer Buschmann". Peiper was killed in France in July 1976.

 

Residing in France since 1972, Peiper led a quiet and discreet life; however, he continued to use his given name.

 

During the night of 13/14 July 1976 (Bastille Day), Peiper's home was attacked. In the ruin, Peiper's charred corpse was found together with a .22 caliber rifle and a pistol.[117] The perpetrators were never identified.[123]

 

Investigation found that intruders had cut a wire fence between the house and neighboring properties. All three of Peiper's dogs had been wounded. Traces of shot and spent shell casings consistent with the rifle, shotgun and revolver Peiper had to protect himself with were found outside, suggesting he had fired at the intruders from outside the house. But if they had had guns of their own they may not have fired them at all since no bullets or shot was found at the places Peiper had fired from.[123]

 

Instead, the attackers had thrown firebombs, including at least one Molotov cocktail, at the house to start the fire, which arson specialists found had been set in three locations at once. Just outside the house they found some clothing belonging to Peiper's wife as well as some personal papers, including his last letter to her, and a pair of binoculars. Peiper's body, burnt down to a mere 60 centimetres (24 in), was found in the remains of his study where the papers would have been kept.[123]

 

Based on the evidence, investigators with the Dijon Police Judiciaire concluded that Peiper had heard the intruders enter his property and left the house to fire at them. When that did not prevent the firebombing, he returned to the house in an attempt to save his and his wife's valuables by throwing them out the study window, continuing to fire at the attackers outside. While the body was too badly burned to determine the exact cause of death, the official conclusion was that he died of smoke inhalation in the attempt and not at the hands of the attackers.[123]

 

Erwin Ketelhut, a former Leibstandarte artillery captain who had rented the house to his wartime commander, identified the remains the morning after the fire. Sigurd Peiper wanted her husband's body buried in Germany, so it was transported back there, where by law an autopsy had to be performed. His head was initially missing; when it arrived later it had been cut into sections, splitting the only remaining tooth. Joachim Peiper is buried with his family at St. Anna's Church in the Bavarian village of Schondorf am Ammersee.[123]

                       GIVE ME A BREAK! I really wish they'd quit fighting everything Trump does,

just because "Their Side" didn't win.

                        WHY do they want to ruin this country,just to get even?

Fuck it's the same shit every 8years. Right blocks everything or left blocks everything. And it's escallating every term. A people United will start a nation, divide, perhaps have a civil war or two, keep dividing until they are undone. history repeats itself, but I'm stumped on the end game for the US. Rome?

Real estate always goes in cults so does interest rates, its always the banks and government that makes the money. A guy like me is very lucky to hang on to my house and get equity. Then when u sell u get taxed some more. Its a rat race and if u are ahead of the race, you are just a bigger rat.
