I Am Tired of America

I am tired of Americans saying how Europeans should be grateful to them because America 'saved' our continent in both World Wars.
Woodrow Wilson decided American intervention in WWI only because in case of a German victory, American banks would never recover the huge loans given to British and French banks.
In WWII American joined war in Europe when German defeat seemed likely to happen, out of fear that the USSR could take over the continent.

America was just defending its interests. A legitimate stand, of course. But we Europeans have nothing to be thankful of.It was not a favour.

Even if you were right about WWII, surely we should still be grateful.

You be if you want. I am not. Even if I deeply hate communism, I sometimes think it would have been better if the Soviets had marched till Portugal. I see East European societies are healthy and commonsensical, not infected by progressive crap like in Western Europe
