Re: 50 destroyers for bases deal
I was referring the problems with the Metis, the Northwest and Red River Rebellions.
Also the "treaty" with the Cree under Big Bear, where they either accepted the treaty and gave up large tracts of land to go to the reservation or starve.
Yeah, you're right, the US does nothing to aid other countries, we just wield a big stick, slapping other nations around.
It is interesting that this thread's original discussion was focused on the 50 destroyers for Western Hemisphere bases but has wandered into the treatment of indiginous people. All the while you still have not provided a single instance of one of the destroyers not being able to go to sea, while being asked by two members to do so.
