I guess my question is who gave the Americans the right? I say this as an American. But would not the world be a better place if we just minded our own business and quit nation building and stoking non existant fires?

    Pretty much when the US was the only super power to survive WWII unscathed.

    Also, having developed atomic hellfire, and the will to use it (twice), kinda makes you the big kid on the playground.

      They love to take credit for WWII while completely ignoring the part Canada played

        Canada’s role is adequately acknowledged, our Nederland brothers send flowers every year

        The US taking credit at all in Europe is silly but they did help with the Japanese theatre
