I actually said I have read non-American sources that all agree with me, including the majority of Japanese sources I have read.
Yay, japanese sources ! edited thoroughly by the American overlords in the 40s & 50s (post WWII japan). This is like reading about some Iraqi historian who just finished writing the 'true events of the war' form Baghdad today and then be paraded for neutrality.
Thinktanks are not the commanders on the ground. Usually they aren't even the commanders in charge of operations.
So you mean Majors, Leutanants, Captains, etc. ?
They thought at the time that nuking Japan was necessary ?
That is an incredible claim and truly underlines the extent of your misinformation. For nobody but the very top of the Political and Military circles knew of the nuke or even knew what a nuke is. You can't advocate the usage of a technology you do not know of, considering that Manhattan project and events right up to the dropping of first Nuke(including the nuke test) were extremely classified, so there is no way anyone apart form the top levels knew of its existence, let alone soldiers half a world away too busy fighting a war instead of following whats going on back home.
Except that we have no control over their actions, which is the defining element of a puppet government.
America has incredible control in Saudi affairs- infact, on ALL Saudi affairs that does not directly come into contact with spreading of islam or its logistics.
It just likes to pretend and claim it doesn't. But i just happened to live beside Saudi for 4 straight years- if Amerca claims it doesn't control Saudi affairs, it might as well claim that America doesn't control Delaware.
So Iran is a puppet.
No. Iraian equipment is not exclusively Soviet/Russian. If you are searching for another example of a puppet, look no further than Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, Iraq(today), Afghanistan, Oman, etc. - all of them are American puppets.
And if you want a non-american example of a puppet regime, to assuage your ego, they exist too - Bhutan is a puppet of India(though unlike in the american puppet cases, Indian overlordship is welcomed by the Bhutanese), Chad is a puppet of Libya and Burma is a puppet of China.
So Iran's almost exclusively Russian arsenal doesn't count?
No because Iran's aresnal is nowhere close to being almost exclusively Russian. Infact, Iran inventories European and Chinese makes in their armed forces extensively. Whereas in the case of Saudi Arabia, 95% of their Armed forces ( military AND police)are equipped with american equipments. Now that is comming close to exclusive domination of the sector by one party.
Give me proof of this "crawling all over the countryside."
Read up on Freedom of Information Act websites. This is declassified Pentagon records, not to mention, Sandanista govt. in Nicaragua did manage to capture (and publicly parade, i suppose those stuff didnt make American tv, eh?) US operatives- pretty hard to claim you are anything but a spy when you are caught deep in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of a jungle, inside a warzone and you are this whiteguy from USA in a latino country.
So it's the difference between being intelligent, responsible, and far-thinking and being impulsive, irresponsible, and stupid?
Irrelevant counter, really.
As i said, reading up on the internet does not equate to guaging foreign sentiments or foreign culture/its perspectives. Living there or extended visits is what does it.
Nonsense. We broadcast bullcrap all the time. Everyone does.
Zero basis for claiming this.
Bottomline is, you are simply arguing to hide the obvious glaring barbarity in American policy because it flies in the face of your nation's propaganda that it feeds you.
I have come to the conclusion that it was the fault of the institute that conducted the study and the shady practices were not endorsed by the United States government.
As expected from you. This is despite the fact that Bill Clinton openly took responsibility of Tuskagee experiments by the US government, admitted that it was a US government initiative and apologized for it. This is during his first term in office.
Funny thing that the President of America is apologizing for American involvement and you are absolving the government.
A little dose of honesty and integrity, among with other virtues you were trying to preach before, would help i think. I have no more interest in trying to debate you, considering how far you are willing to bend the truth just to keep thumping your Yankee chest in pride. You are blinkered enough to pompously proclaim that it had nothing to do with the US government, when it is a FACT that the US government orchestrated such a heinous experimentation program on its own citizens, that the Pentagon oversaw this activity and some doctors were pressured enough to compliy that they quit. The President of the US has already taken full responsibility and yet you are trying to pull the wool over your own and all our eyes. But then again, you follow Fox and claim that it is objective news reporting. . Yes, you are right, we all just happen to hate the US of A. It is the bestest of the lands and nations and it has never done anything heinous towards others. Clearly, you will contend too that you are not a victim of American propaganda, just like a Taliban wannabe i met few years ago claiming he isn't a victim of radical islamic propaganda. This is afterall, the expected MO of propagandists and their victims.
I suggest you adapt the Aussie chant of 'Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi', for that is the general direction you are heading.I have nothing further to say to you on this topic. G'day.
