What is Ron pauls position in war?
bring the troops home. all of our military bases in 170-some-odd countries costs us trillions of dollars and pisses people off where we have these installations. that, along with our bankrolling of israel, is why osama bin laden attacked us on 9/11. How, after all, would you feel is China started building military bases over here?
Do you agree that the fear of war was the driving motivation behind the Allies' appeasement policy?
No, American bankers were bankrolling both the Nazis and the British, profit motivated the appeasment policy. GM was building trucks in Germany at it's Opel facilities they purchased in 1929, IBM was selling it's punch-card system for concentration camps (witch later became the punch-card system we use at work everyday...), to name a few American companies that Hitler's war machine couldn't have done without.
If there is a great infusion of money into the economy through the stimulus program will not the dollar be devalued and the US eventually face hyper inflation?
yes the dollar will be devalued its inevitable, but hyper inflation? that's a scary thought! but cant see it happening, but if the US was any other country in the world it would probably turn into Argentina all over again, but it just has too much influence for that to happen...or does it?? - Im sure China is sick of bankrolling America by now, but it needs their market share so as I say I think it will come through without hyperinflation.
Did Benjamin Franklin end the Revolutionary War?
Most likely not by himself. But he did help convince the French to aid the American cause. He appealed to the French by wearing a fur hat and amused ladies of the court. His popularity bought Louis XVI into bankrolling the revolution. After a French flotilla came to the rescue, the British army under Clinton left Philadelphia and went on the defensive. Clinton retreated to New York City in 1778 out of fear. Washington followed close by resulting in The Battle of Monmouth. Most of the British remained in New York while Cornwallis went on a fruitless campaign in the South. The Revolutionary War was nominally over when Cornwallis was trapped by the French fleet.
Are Serbia and Austria were allies?
Serbia was, Austria-Hungary was not. Austria-Hungary was one of the Central Powers, and the most important after Germany. These two nations were enemies, and WWI actually began as a war between these two, when the Austrians went to war against Serbia, in revenge for the Serbian intelligence service backing and bankrolling plotters who murdered the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary. Russia then came to the assistance of tiny Serbia, triggering the alliances which dragged in all other nations. Had Russia stayed out of it and left Serbia to suffer the fate they had earned for helping murder the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, the war would have remained just another Balkan War hardly remembered today.
How did the rule of the Taliban end?
The US military armed the Northern Alliance and assorted warlords, supported them with arms and reconnaissance so they were able to kick the Taliban out of power and caused many of them to flee into Pakistan.
What was the US' military role in the defeat of Germany during World War 2?
Lend-Lease is arguably the major contributor. Thru Lend-Lease Britain and later the Soviet Union managed to stay in the war. In addition to Lend-Lease, the US did several other things, such as take over more and more of the Atlantic to free up the British navy. And of course the contribution of our fighting forces can not be belittled. And technology, from simple things such as the mass assembly lines, to the more advanced, like the A-bomb. There are many who argue that WWII would have turned out a whole lot different without the US' involvement. Many have speculated that Britain would have been forced out of the war. And there is much debate over the Soviet Union. As mentioned above, the bombing campaign against the industries of the Third Reich began to deprive the Wehrmacht of essential supplies when they were most needed.
Who are the Characters of Journey to the Center of the Earth?
The movies differ from the Verne Novel. There is essentially Professor Lindenbrook- the Scientist and head of the expedition, his assistant, who was miscast as Pat Boone in the movie- which was fine for several songs having nothing to do with the plot lines- The Female character- who is the widow of some explorer- and is bankrolling the expedition- there are no girl characters in the Verne novel- I"m glad Hollywood brought one in- The Bad Guy scientist- also with a Scandinavian name- and the muscular Lars who is the handy-man of the Expedition.- Oh yes, Bad guy was only ever referred to as 'Count Sagnussen'. These same characters existed in the TV Cartoon by Donald Sutherland- and pretty good for its type. Gertrude the Duck remained alive as a comedy interest in the cartoon- the duck was killed and eaten by the bad guy in the movie. The scientists work out of Edinburgh University, which is in Scotland, in spite of the Scandinavian names. I met Arlene Dahl last year at the Loew"s showing. Rate of increase l00O a minute ( from the bathtub escape craft!- we:re outta here! indeed. In both the book and the 1959 film the explorers escaped via what they termed 'the alter stone' which was really a large bowl. In the later movie they escaped using the skull of a dinosaur.
How did Richard Nixon affect the Cold War?
He ended the Vietnam War and stopped the Democrat War machine that had started with FDR and went through JFK and LBJ. He also was brilliant in foreign relations. Problem was he was so distrustful of others that he made a huge cover up out of a tiny issue that he initially was not involved in. The Watergate Break-In, which Nixon had no knowledge of during its planning or the commting of the crime, was a defining moment for politics as "proof" to the left wing that all Republicans were crooks and evil. In truth Nixon was a tremendous President who stopped an out of control Democrat war machine but was so insecure about everyone and everything made his legacy a tainted one.
