Seriously though, the USA is virtually always bad.

    What the fuck does

    there is no reasonable argument that would have justified forgiving those loans

    even mean? How about “these countries were just destroyed by war and can’t reasonably be expected to pay”?

    Governments can and do forgive loans when they feel it’s appropriate. The U.S. made a conscious decision to wield its creditor status without mercy to further crush Europe and solidify its own position as top global power.

    The budgets of the French and British governments are not the responsibility of the US

    Yeah which is why they should have told US to stuff it with its ridiculous demands for payment lol
