Did I say I don't care if we get a thanks or not? The point I was making it doesn't matter who we help(this did not just mean feeding either...). They don't give a shit if we help or not. They'll continue using us just because of what we represent. If you think I was whining about it you're obviously wrong. Don't know why you even made that comment pretty pointless.
As for the Germans of course that was one of the reasons but we still saved their existance. I don't care if that was our intention or not really it still happened that way which is all that mattered in the point I made. They probably would not exist today if it weren't because of us.
You say all we do is do shit for ourselves? That's not true. We went to wwI because we would benefit from it right? Better yet we liberated Kuwait for self gain too? We go into 3rd world countries to feed them spending millions of dollars too for our benefit. I could probably name a million things. But yet a few things we have done for ourselves means we do that 100% of the time eh?
We do things that the world benefits from, not just for us. Like I said we protect, feed, help, and aid every country that needs it practically. Feeding and liberating someone obviously isn't doing it for selfish needs.
"well we feed countries because we easily easily can. We've destroyed and manipulated all the international markets for staple crops like wheat and grain, etc."
Who cares? That just helps us more. It's not our fault someone else didn't do it first? Every other country practically had centuries to do it. We do it during the 200 years we've been around? Canada/South America has untapped resources same as we do on these two continents why aren't they on top?
