I love the "melting pot" argument. Yeah, a melting pot of white people from neighbouring countries with a shared religion and thousands of years of history dealing with each other as neighbors.
But that can't be an important distinction, because the same guy who uses the "melting pot" argument has also decided that race, religion, culture etc. can't make a difference...
The Soviets lost 27 million people to win WW2, America lost 500K. That's a 54:1 ratio. Seeing as the Soviet Union was economically incapable of competing with America, America was easily able to move in and control Europe afterwards. America is also an enormous country under one government, whilst Europe was a collection of small countries with different governments and political setups. A broken Europe was unable to keep America out on one side, and hope to fend off the Soviet Union on the other side. America's domination over Europe was therefore, thanks largely to Soviet losses, but Destiny completely leaves this out of the final tally.
Bro 3:23 quote George Carlin, "you don't need a formal conspiracy when converging interests align." Brazilians don't need to get together and talk about how they've been hated forever, and want to protect themselves. It's inherent.
