 I think America really fucked up by not forcing the Marshall plan to be contingent on 1A and 2A. 

If you’re going to take American dollars you need to share American values. 

This should be our new policy strategy in relation to all foreign aid /protection / trade etc… 

You do business with America? You gotta act like America. You need to have American values. 

You don’t want American values? Cool fund yourself.

 American values I'm sorry to inform you was thinly vailed lies from the start.

 Americans once took their values to be self evident. No one needed to enforce them. We couldn't imagine a world where bad ideas were more convincing than freedom.

 Can't feed and give rise to a nation that may serve as a competent rival. America was never interested in partnership.  Too much big dick energy.

 And when America needs help, will you cater to our Belgian values of drinking good beer, eating steak & fries, eating chocolate, playing darts at a bar & watch cyclo-cross outside in the winter? I don't think so. Exceptionalism can only get you so far...
