I find it strange that you come up with all of these questions, claim not to be anti-american because you are a US citizen, but have yet to make an attempt to answer your own questions.
You ask so many questions that it would be impossible to have a reasonable debate covering every single one in one thread. Each question is pretty much a thread itself.
How do you view these questions you ask?

If you think were the only country that meddles in other nations affairs your sadly mistaken.Just about every country in the world has spies and will try to manipulate other nations.So there is no right to do this only accepted protocol if your not worried about what other countries are doing guaranteed your being manipulated by someone.

I'm also a US citizen, born and raised in Upstate NY (cow country lol) when i speak negatively about america and americans its often a generalization and i am very aware there are many americans who are awake, clued in and who realize their country isnt as brilliant as over the top patriots claim it to be, but that isnt to say that at one time in the distant past America wasnt a wonderful country, it was.. but it has quickly and steadily gone downhill from then.. the arrogance of the majority there is unbelievable, as you say, what gives them the right??? And from travelling and living over seas in Europe i can safely say that Americans arent overly liked, and the attitudes other countries citizens have towards America/ns is far from friendly these days.. and its understandable why..they are the bully of the world, clueless macho type crap bully at that.. their mindset itself needs a complete makeover before anything there can improve.

I'm a US citizen myself so don't accuse me of being anti-American. I'm wondering what gives us special status. What gives us the right to topple foreign governments in continuous violations of international law. What gives us the right to interfere in the Democracy of other nations? What gives us the right to tell other nations who can or cannot be extradited? Why are we so well liked when the citizens of our nation are so far in debt that many can barely afford to make a living? What gives us the right to dominate the world when we barely have a hold on our own nation?

The UK so far has proven to be our only true Allie.
Funny that our only true adversary now turns out to be our only true Allie while France apposes us.! Make no mistake the UK will be defended at all costs.

People in Britain were NOT starving. In fact it was found people, especially children were healthier from having rations than they were before the war.

People got a ration book full of coupons which allowed them to buy just a limited amount. Petrol was rationed after September 1939. Butter, sugar, bacon, paper and meat were rationed from early 1940. By the end of the war, half Britain's food was rationed. You needed ration coupons to buy clothes after June 1941.The rations were greatly increased after America entered the war as millions of pounds of food began shipping to Britain through the lend lease program.Prior to the food shipments in 1941 things were looking very bleak for the British people.
However one of the effect of rationing and price control was that - by the end of the war - the poor people of Britain had never been so healthy! There was much less, but it had been shared out far more fairly. This was one of the key facts that led to the creation of the Welfare State after the war.Just think an entire country on food stamps just that alone continues to amaze me that the population could endure this.

and as for churchill withholding intel from you to get you into the war is pretty ironic considering your administration delibrately let pearl harbour happen so as to get public support to protect the administrations investment in the british war effort.
