no- america would not come in to the war until they had to for their OWN
sake. american bankers made usurious loans to the "allies" and did not
forgive those debts.
japan was used as an experimental lab by the americans. to use the phrase
"lifted out of the debris" to describe the decimation of two cities
(civilian targets) is utterly gross.

no such thing as a free lunch- all the superpowers pumped large amounts of
money into developed and developing countries- to curry favour with them in
all sorts of ways- military and economic. it was not a charity situation at
all.

AIRBUS "BELUGA" TRANSPORTS INTERNATIONAL SPACE SECTION FROM TURIN TO FLORIDA
02 February 2001
Demonstrating that the International Space Station is truly a global effort,
the world's most voluminous civil freighter aircraft in service, Airbus'
A300-600ST Super Transporter - nicknamed "Beluga" - today delivered a
crucial element of the International Space Station to the Kennedy Space
Center, during its fifth-ever visit to the United States. The multi-purpose
pressurised logistics module (MPLM), manufactured by Alenia Aerospazio of
Italy, in Turin, will be used to transport supplies and material, including
experimental apparatus between Earth and ISS.

because no other country had such a NEED for such a gesture. landing on the
moon was the decisive act in the cold war.
You talk about Japanese

this is a racist comment. describing all the electronics skill/ developments
as "radios" is pathetic.
You talk about German

more of the same.
