Even before the United States entered World War II in December 1941, America sent arms and equipment to the Soviet Union to help it defeat the Nazi invasion. Totaling $11.3 billion, or $180 billion in today’s currency, the Lend-Lease Act of the United States supplied needed goods to the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1945 in support of what Stalin described to Roosevelt as the “enormous and difficult fight against the common enemy — bloodthirsty Hitlerism.”

GT investigates: US war-mongering under guise of ‘democracy’ inflicts untold damage on the world Unholy wars By GT staff reporters Published: Dec 01, 2021 10:37 PM
How many evils have been committed in the name of democracy?
Exporting wars, launching "color revolutions," fomenting extremist ideologies, and promoting economic instability...the US has left countless trails of bloodshed and turmoil around the world. While the "model of democracy" loses its shine, the US still attempts to establish exclusive cliques through the so-called democracy summit. To expose the nature of "American democracy," the Global Times is publishing a series of stories to unveil the US' four democratic hegemony sins. This is the first piece.
"War is the American way of life," said US historian Paul Atwood, noting that the US was born, grew, and became a superpower out of war, slavery, and human slaughter.
In its more than 240-year-long history since declaring independence on July 4, 1776, there have only been 16 years in which the US was not at war. From the end of World War II (WWII) to 2001, the US has initiated 201 of the 248 armed conflicts in 153 locations, accounting for over 80 percent of total wars fought. Since 2001, wars and military operations by the US have claimed more than 800,000 lives and displaced tens of millions of people.
Experts and observers reached by the Global Times said that the US, ignoring the objective reality of its own shambolic democratic record, instead attempts to use "democracy" as a pretext to wage war and as a cover for its numerous crimes such as causing humanitarian disasters and destroying sovereign order, is the real culprit threatening the world.
sslee, this is exactly the problem of pro-china people. When they cannot answer a question, they raised another (challenge). Then they cannot answer again, they raised another question. Eventually they always resort to "大國博奕" and "下一盤大棋". Actually their arguments doesn't stand. But we still continue to engage to make sure the truth is reviewed.
80% of so-called US induced war of what the China is claiming is actually UN peace keeping action. On the other hand, you know China's longest time without any war is actually the past 40 years in its entire history of 3000 years (5000 years is not recognised because it includes myths and legends of 黃帝唐堯禹舜夏....)so, do not be naive to think China will not invade any countries in foreseeable future.
(The pro-China people claims China is a peace-loving nation that it never invade any countries. Actually its far from the truth. China invades Korea (that time call 高句麗)twice if we exclude the Korean War in the 50s), invades Japan twice, and Vietnam during the QianLong time, and again in 79-80。These are the failures. The successful one of course are XinJiang and Tibet)
There were mistakes made during war time and often those are exposed as those who committed the crime were brought into justice, instead of cover up. Moreover, in ancient time we do not have the same standard as today's civilisation. The China media like to accuse Canadian were killing all the indigenous and Spanish killing all the maya (etc) were mistakes they made in the past and people trying to correct them. In contrary, the chinese authority is trying to commit those mistake today.
sslee, in short, US war is never after another countries' land, its for justice, despite justice sometimes misinterpreted + poor execution.
but russian war, Taiwan invasion is after their land.
(then sslees may say US want to sell weapons. Then we go blah blah blah again. Check the global weapon trade amount is tiny. and often is free)
(then sslees may say US made the coronavirus in the fort D lab. Actually they make up the story based on a maintenance notice. The maintenance notice says the boiler not functioning well so have to shut down for maintenance. No proof or link whatsoever)
(then sslees may say US bring the virus to China through the military sport meet. Actually they make up the story based on 3 US participants had Malaria, whom had been treated and recovered. )
blah blah blah......until sslees say China is playing a big chess board game, we do not understand de lah. lol
Humans right democracy is a weapon they use against perceived enemies.....often supported by blatant lies like Saddam weapon of mass destruction....like this also Foong cannot see meh?
Chinese civil service CPC members are well trained, patriotic, ...China has more than 2000 years tradition of Confucian mandarins just like Han and tang dynasty.... Unmatchable any where else in the world outside the Confucian countries.
Foong...since u think China is a thief every thing China do looks like the action of a thief....it's just u...and your kind.....doubling irritating for a Malaysian Chinese and not even an American
Western countries had it good for a few centuries...in one generation China caught up in most aspects ..and more to come...China don't call it rise of China, China calls it the return of China....and yes , in 2012 Xi jinping uses the example of Han Tang as inspiration for China....
No surprise Han Tang is considered golden era of China and no surprise CPC promotes the best from that era....including the inspiration of new silk road
I mean the 100 million CPC members are the elites of China, well chosen, well trained, patriots, united, .... responsible, hard working, eat bitter, u can beat them meh?
Foong...u cannot sh.it u want to blame China also? The world is a very cruel very cunning place and none more so then Western media who plays the anti China card.. . Genocide in Xinjiang, forced labor in Xinjiang..
