How did America dominate the world?
First, the artificial division of people into 'countries' is a bogus concept produced by ancient military turf-ism. That is, the creation of 'nation/states' is a mechanism to make geographical divisions designed to allow people to be considered separate from all the other imaginary geographic groups, playing them against each other to control them. To conquer, divide, to keep conquered, keep divided. Identifying yourself with a particular turf makes you a willing candidate for 'cannon fodder' in the conflicts set up to make you hate other 'groups' and willing slaves to those who use that division for their own benefit.. In reality, there is one world and one Human species, and we are divided by ancient control concepts like countries, languages, cultures, and most of all, monetary symbol systems. All your questions come from this conceptual artificial and imposed division. There is no justification on the planet Earth for using this conceptually bogus manipulation ...and it's rapidly becoming obvious that survival of the human species is in doubt because of this conceptual control system. > Why do countries give America many of their limited natural resources for a piece of paper the government of America gives in exchange? Because the 'owners', those who control the world, chose the North America continent as their power base, living there as their ancestors had lived in Britain before moving to North America, Rome before that, etc. ...and now you can see why money is an artificial and imposed control system imposed by gangs of uniformed brainwashed 'soldiers' who fanatically follow orders of people who use them for enforcing their ancient agendas for global slavery. Its the inheritance of Humanity at this time, to simply be brainwashed slaves to psychopaths who have ruled us generation after generation for millennia. This must change for the ecosystem, which includes Humanity, to survive.
Is America's mission to rule the world and be the number one/strongest nation in the world?
The answer to this question will of course be contested by Americans. No American citizen, regardless of occupation or ethnic background will agree to the statement of "Americans want to rule to world". But lets look at the actions of the US instead of the opinions of its citizens (I'm guessing most of the answers here are from American citizens).1. The US has been increasing its military outposts. It has about 450+ bases around the world. Do not give me the "but it is to protect our allies". Wrong, just look at Japan, how many protests have there been AGAINST US bases. How many women have been raped by marines. In addition to increasing its military, it highly criticizes other nations when they do so despite their sovereign right.2. The US is currently lobbying to "feed the world" with Monsanto, despite literally 100.000s of people protesting against it. But I guess the exceptionalist murica knows best what is good for the world right? So now they want to control the world's food system.3. The CIA has destabilized at least a dozen nations who did not want to work with the US and just wanted to be left alone. All under the banner of "we are the free and just nation leader of the world". Or the other wonderful argument of "protecting our interests abroad". What possible reason would you have for destabilizing Iran in the 70's. A country literally on the other side of the world.4. The US criticizes EVERY government on the planet that does not want to work with them. It even violates international law, a term comically used a lot by the US despite it not even being a member of the ICC. And also has a law that allows to invade one of its closes allies (The Netherlands invasion act).5. It wages illegal wars, yes illegal. Iraq, Lebanon, Afghanistan. Iraq had no wmd's, posed barely a threat after the first gulf war and the US still decided to attack it. WHY!6. And now with ISIS/IS or whatever their name is. The US is arming rebels groups in Syria who have ties to ISIS while good ol’ Uncle Sam is bombing the ONLY competent force fighting ISIS, Assad.7. Not even going to start about its support for barbaric nations such as Israel and Saudi Arabia.So yes, the US does want to rule the world. Or at least be its influencer and decide which course the world MUST take. The US population wants peace, but the government they elect wants dominance
Why did Japan enter World War II?
Japan's industries need raw materials, but it's natural resources are nil. She had to import iron scrap and petroleum from U S A. The nearest country which has vast resources was China. However English, French and Duch monopolised exploitation, and vast areas were under the rule of their governments. So Japan occupied Manchuria. In the process vast stretches of China was occupied.To maintain occupational force they need more material, steel and fuel were very much necessary. In this context Japan's line of thinking was that while she was being starved of fuel and raw materials, companies of far of countries are getting the same dam cheap by exploiting vast resources.By the same time Nazis rose to power in Germany and by 1941 - 42 they successfully defeated France remains unstoppable. So the powers that were ruling some Asian countries themselves were defeated. This, Japan thought was the right time to join hands with victorious forces, viz. Nazi Germany and Italy.These developments troubled US. They told Japan to stop aggression on China and announced halt of iron scrap.This infuriated the Japanese government, headed by Tojo, a military general. As the Europe was in turmoil, the attention of US diverted to help UK, it was the right time to destroy American naval ships and air craft carriers at Pearl Harbor in a surprise attack.On the face of it Japanese are in serious discussions with American Government. But Tojo covertly planned a surprise attack. This they did in December.But the attack did not yield desired results as US Air craft carriers were not there.As the American industrial might is is several times of Japanese, eventually they won the war. However a small Asian nation stunned the most powerful nation writing a day of infamy in it's history.
Why were the World Trade Center twin towers a prime target for terrorists? Why did they hate it so much? why?
Whoa, Killerwhaesrule (funny yahoo name). The terrorists did not attack us because we have freedom. That's what George B told you and it's simply incorrect. "Those freedom haters" he would say. They attacked us because we keep meddling in their affairs. Bin Laden has said this repeatedly. As long as we impose rules in the world that oil prices must be tied to the dollar instead of yen or euros, he will keep on doing it. In fact, that's why we invaded Iraq....because Sadam was selling oil to the Chinese. It had absolutely nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction or to bring freedom to Iraq. Our Oil billionaires in this country don't give a d*** about freedom for Iraq.
Why Americans meddle in world affairs when they don't really rule other countries?
One would understand why British Empire meddles with world affairs because everywhere are British colonies, but this is not the case for America, so how come? What is the legitimacy for Americans to "lead" other countries when U.S. Government only focus on U.S. interests?
What made the USA rule the world?
“ Truman Doctrine, President Harry S. Truman established that the United States would provide political, military and economic assistance to all democratic nations under threat from external or internal authoritarian forces. The Truman Doctrine effectively reoriented U.S. foreign policy, away from its usual stance of withdrawal from regional conflicts not directly involving the United States, to one of possible intervention in far away conflicts.”Funny thing is US helped the LTTE terrorists during the civil war in sri lanka to topple the democratically elected Sri lankan government. so no Truman Doctrine isn’t about helping democratically elected governments, it’s about using a conflict in a country for the benefit of the US politics or economy. for instance like selling weapons, install puppet leaders to gain support votes in UN elections, get support for their allied and oppositions for their enemies.
Why do Europeans think they are the best in the world?
I live half my time in Europe and half in America due to my job. There's good and bad in both people and places. It's how you see it and how you take it. How you were raised and what your own level of values. There's Europeans and Americans who are close-minded and absolutely so full of themselves. One thing I do notice about Europe is the European Media is so negative towards America and Americans. It's painful and so full of B.S to watch and read. Makes me wonder how much that plays into their perceptions of Americans. In contrast American Media is just a big *** circus; full of lies, full of distractions, enablers to the crooks that have ruined the economy and continue to rape the American people, not the truth tellers they are supposed to be. I find Americans to be very patriotic and proud of their country and culture. They really don't consume themselves with that the rest of the world thinks of them. In most cases they could careless what others think of them. They want to live the American dream and just focus on them. In a way I can see why some Europeans think that Americans are close-minded and full of themselves. Europeans are just as proud and patriot about their lands. They take great pride in being Europeans and at times they do come off (some people) as being superior to others. Again, there these types of folks in both places. I find Europeans to be straight forward, helpful if you need it, and they don't take much BS from folks. On the contrast I find Americans to be extremely polite and nice. Americans really are nice people in general. There's good in both, I love the history of Europe, I love old countries and looking at old buildings etc. Its so rich and just in awe. However, I love the concept of America and what it stands for. The slogan "Only in America.." is so true in so many levels. If I had to chose between the two? I would lean towards America. You get a bit of everything there. A mixture of cultures and ideas. I like it. Now, I'm living in Asia -- that's a completely different world compared to Europe and N. America! My goodness!!
