======================
BF>> VH> Are you saying we shouldn't have fought the Nazis?

BF>>As this wasn't another countries internal affair you did the right thing.

 VH> And international terrorism and genocide are just "internal affairs?"

If I should follow your reasoning, the genocide has been going on in the world
since WWII in Russia, China and Africa and no one haven't be doing a thing
about it. Why not?

BF>>Why do you almost always answer a question with a counterquestion? Is it
BF>>because you don't have any answer?

 VH> No, it's because you persist in asking questions that have implications. I
 VH> outline what those implications are.  YOU implied we some how slacked
 VH> because we only entered the war in '41.

Didn't you?

 VH> So I pointed out that Sweden didn't enter it at all -- and therefore has
 VH> no standing to accuse anyone else of slacking.

I wasn't accusing, just asking....

 VH> But in point of fact, Americans were aiding the Allies and taking
 VH> casualties (far more that Sweden ever took) well before we entered the
 VH> war.  For example, the US destroyer USS Ruben James was sunk while
 VH> assisting the British off Iceland about a year before we officially
 VH> entered the war.

Normal common sence, helping other ships in trouble.

 VH> Americans were flying against the Japanese in China (the "Flying Tigers")
 VH> well before Pearl Harbor.

Official?

 VH> US FBI agents were working against Nazi agents in South America in late
 VH> 1939.

What was the Nazis doing in South America?

 VH> Nonsense -- you've been making money off the oil embargo, just like
 VH> Germany, France, Russia and China have been doing it.

Sweden? In what way?

 VH> In fact, I do -- I know the Soviets take a different view, and claim they
 VH> were in their airspace.

Facts you don't know is that the Swedish "AWAC" plane has been found and
rescued. Is was lying just north of the Swedish island Gotland and far, far
away from the Soviet border and their airspace.
Even that Soviet Officer who took the decision about shooting it down had
said he did a terrible mistake.

BF>> VH> You did so little that TWO planes looks like a lot to you. :-)
BF>>For a small country like Sweden it is.
 VH> It's nothing.  You haven't begun to do your share.

That's your point of wiew.

BF>> VH> It rhymes with "doing as little as possible and making zero sacrifices
BF>> VH> the common cause."

BF>>That's your way to see it....

 VH> That's the way it is.  You don't do your share.

Then answer me what Burkina Faso does.

BF>> VH> You traded with him.  You watched your neighbors -- Norway and Denmark
BF>> VH> overrun and didn't lift a finger to help.

BF>>You are still commenting on things you don't know a shit about.

 VH> More potty-mouth.

Is that the best you can come up with?

BF>>We helped a lot of Danes and Norwegian resistance-fighter to come here but
BF>>I guess you are only speaking (did I spell that right) about a wareffort.

 VH> You did what you always do -- as little as possible.  And traded with the
 VH> Nazis while doing it.

Still no concrete accusations.....
With whom did Oliver North trade with?
