-How was Vietnam, Korea, etc. an energy/resource interest? Nice use of nationalist b-sh-t you've got going there.

Oh how very ignorant Americans are on the subject of their own history and wars that THEY engaged in.

"Since the end of the Vietnam War, the Gulf of Tonkin has been the site of oil exploration by many multinational companies."

So western text books admit it but the war and the bombing was a front, the exploration
was HAPPENING during the war. US oil companies like Standard Oil had an edge, they knew after the war which fields to bid on and which areas were dry and they didn't have to spend a dime on costs, american taxpayers picked up the tab

Regardless of who wins and who dies... there is money to be made and marshall plans everywhere you look, off the back of other peoples misfortunes and miseries..... the results not as important as the act of destroying plant, capital and human life in the name of profit and control of resource by bankers and money men

There is no moral high ground for Americans.... you bombed Chinese journalists in Bosnia, tortured Iraqi and Afghan civilians, double crossed the Kurds in Iraq with promises galore then let the Turks bomb them after Gulf War I, Not to mention the grand theft of rebuilding funds by the corrupt afterwards in Iraq.

Please be up front about it and admit that to keep your empire and couch potato lifestyle intact you'll rape grandmothers and bomb kids schools everywhere, anytime

The real war is the working class people against the oppressors in government and corporations, the enemy within who leech off our toil like vampires. Militarist arsekissers like yourself and apologists for the military industrial complex are part of the problem.

Until you grasp this jaggy nettle and accept it, nothing will make sense.

Ask yourself one question, why was the atom bomb dropped on civilians heads TWICE and not some Japanese military base or on a battlefield ??

I'm 1000% sure that the US would have dropped 100 bombs if they had them... like the firebombing of Dresden it was about taking out industrial plant competition for AFTER the war: if the A bomb was such a fearsome weapon and all pervasive, why drop two and why so highly densely populated areas ?? Don't believe the propaganda, don't believe it.

ATS is not a place for kool-aid drinking Top Gun watchers!

Dresden
Taylor writes that an official 1942 guide to the city described it as "one of the foremost industrial locations of the Reich" and in 1944, the German Army High Command's Weapons Office listed 127 medium-to-large factories and workshops that were supplying the army with material.[29]

But historian Sonke Neitzel wrote in 2006, "The industrial plants of Dresden played no significant role in German war industry at this stage of the war".
