Well, perhaps, just perhaps, we can pay off "our" debit to other countries, once all the countries that owe us, pay up.

Of course not... that would be terribly inconvenient for the OP's agenda.

He also ios apparently foeget what the colonial possession thought of being ruoled by the euroepan powers .They got tired of being sucked dry by them. Thyen of course only the euroepan could start two world wars i9n lkess than 50 years both of which they destroyed most of europe. Thyen they depended on the uS to rebuild much of it with Txa payers money. Eevnh before the US got involved Britain was dependent on supplies from the US to survive. After the war very euroepan power bu7t he raussian were bascially poerless and to much extent as evidenced by their response to Bosnia for years; they still are.Only with US help did they agree to action within their ownh area of influence. The Faulklands are another example of their lack of power.So he can live in his jealous dream world and cuss us all he wants. IU don't see anyone wanting them to settle anything in the middleeast because they are so hated there: but of course they sucked them dry for years ;so who is to bame them.

Haven't looked at the detail of it for decades, but there just isn't much of it. Lend-Lease was designed not to result in significant post-war debt burdens, and the debt of Germany was mostly adjudicated away in the early 1950's in conjunction with the general directions of the Marshall Plan and other efforts to promote European economic recovery in confronting the growing menace of monolithic communism to the east. Japan's war and pre-war yen-denominated debt just went up in smoke either by war's end or during the several inflationary years that followed it, but that didn't affect the US much.

"We caused the crisis, but so what, we're American, we can do what we want". Thats how the USA comes across.
If you think America alone is responsible you are a foolish person. Bush didn't do it alone either, although he failed to notice it. Its the result of living in a fantasy, something most of the west is still engaged in.
