The lie that was Lend-Lease

[old man emu]

Do you believe that America acted out of the goodness of its heart towards the British Empire during WWII by providing arms and aid through Lend-Lease? If you do, you have had the wool well and truly pulled over your eyes, if the content of this video is to be believed. Sit back and watch this video and then think about its content in terms of your own knowledge of world politics and economics since WWII.

America has never acted out of the goodness of its heart, towards anyone. It has always acted in the best interests of America, American corporations, and American people. Americans believe all other nations and cultures are inferior to them.

 

Even as far as Australia is concerned, the Americans never acted out of the goodness of their heart to save Australia and Australians, they used Australia as a convenient base, from which they needed to stop the Japanese attacks on America and its commercial interests, and to wrest control of the Pacific region from the Japanese.

 

The ugliest part of the Americans behaviour in WW2 was using 60,000 Australian troops and all our best military forces, to carry out the unnecessary and costly Borneo invasion campaign in May 1945 - Operation Oboe.

We lost nearly 600 good men in three operations to take out the remaining Japanese soldiers on Borneo, who were all basically stuffed, anyway, with no logistics left - but the Japanese fought to the death, and often carried out suicide missions.

Operation Oboe was an operation designed to cater to MacArthurs overweening arrogance and self-aggrandisement, and to promote American strength.
