Having been to Argentina in 1994 to Buenos Aires & Iguacu Falls, i was amazed at how much great architecture was built during the period of Peron had fallen into disrepair literally crumbling before my eyes. It seemed as though Argentina had seen better days. Their people i assure you have paid the price of harboring war criminals by committing war crimes against their own people. I was there in 1994 & in those 5 days i saw crowds of people & never not once did i see anyone with a smile. And a people in so much denial of the crumbling state of their nation. Never has any country recovered from such denial, i suspect little has changed.

@@Rossithailand That's not to say that there weren't huge numbers of Irish fighting on behalf of the UK and US in their armies. But we all know how the Irish state treated those who put on a British uniform to fight N****. I almost get why Ireland would take arms from the Kaiser during World War 1 or the IRA from Gadaffi. They needed guns and explosives, the dictator has them, ergo we will fight a common enemy by taking those Guns and Explosives. But De Valera's attitude to fugitive N**** or the Irish support for dictators such as the Argentine Junta during the Falklands war is deeper than just the practicality of Arms procurement. The Irish state goes out of it's way to antagonise and support Britain's enemies even when there is less than zero moral or political benefit in doing so. What we're seeing at the moment is the latest version of this attitude that the British were colonialists, the British are fighting X country Cum hoc ergo propter hoc we must support X country because they must be anti-colonials.

Finland fought for years alongside the Nazi's. I wonder how the country has dealt with that part of its history. And it can't be out of self defense, as it had successfully defended itself in the Winter War, and the USSR wasn't going to invade the country again that it could barely defeat in 1940 when the USSR was involved with a Titanic life of death struggle with Germany. And it cannot be that Finland wanted to regain its lost territory because it advanced far beyond those lost territories, they wanted to take all of Karelia. Not passing any moral judgment on Fins today, I am curious how Fins today view that war and their country in it.

I was living in São Paulo when Dr. Mengele drowned. I looked at a city map and Mengele lived only about a mile from me as the crow flies. Later when I lived in Chile, I went to see Sting perform in Bariloche (which is near the border) because Sting wouldn't perform in Chile while Pinochet was in power - so I must have come pretty close to Priebke. And last night, I found out my friend's son works almost directly for Jeff Bezos. OK, so maybe Bezos isn't quite as bad as Mengele or Priebke. Bezos is more like Albert Speer - he makes efficient use of essentially slave labor.
