Those US victim countries will have their day in court and compensation for wrongful death in the millions, injuries in the billions, destruction of property and theft of natural resources, when the USA loses it economic clout and is no longer able to punish with organized sanctions.
Again: Reader, check your degree of involvement! Have you believed in silly but vicious fairy tells of colonial powers being democratic and seeking democracy's spread? North America was stolen from its indigenous natives, Africans enslaved for their labor, half of Mexico raped away, a million Filipinos butchered for their land? Democratically? World Wars financed for such immense return as to make Wall Street the single world superpower.

How the Allied multinationals supplied Nazi Germany throughout World War II
Excerpts
from "Trading With the Enemy: An ExposÃÆ' - of The Nazi-American
Money-Plot 1933-1949" by Charles Higham; Hale , London, 1983.
Behind
the patriotic propaganda that encouraged the working class to slaughter
each other in the interests of competing national interests,
international capital quietly kept the commodity circuits flowing and
profits growing across all borders, trading with the enemy - war means
business as usual for international capital.
Higham starts with
an account of the Bank for International Settlements in Basel,
Switzerland - a Nazi-controlled bank presided over by an American,
Thomas H. McKittrick, even in 1944. While Americans were dying in the
war, McKittrick sat down with his German, Japanese, Italian, British and
American executive staff to discuss the gold bars that had been sent to
the Bank earlier that year by the Nazi government for use by its
leaders after the war. This was gold that had been looted from the banks
of Austria, Belgium, and Czechoslovakia or melted down from teeth
fillings, eyeglass frames, and wedding rings of millions of murdered
Jews.
But that is only one of the cases detailed in this book. We
have Standard Oil shipping enemy fuel through Switzerland for the Nazi
occupation forces in France; Ford trucks transporting German troops;
I.T.T. helping supply the rocket bombs that marauded much of London ;
and I.T.T. building the Focke-Wulfs that dropped those bombs. Long and
shocking is the list of diplomats and businessmen alike who had their
own ways of profiting from the war."
What would have happened
if American and British people, struggling with coupons and lines at
the gas stations, had learned that in 1942 Standard Oil of New Jersey
managers shipped the enemy's fuel through neutral Switzerland and that
the enemy was shipping Allied fuel? Suppose the public had discovered
that the Chase Bank in Nazi-occupied Paris after Pearl Harbor was doing
millions of dollars' worth of business with the enemy with the full
knowledge of the head office in Manhattan? Or that Ford trucks were
being built for the German occupation troops in France with
authorization from Dearborn, Michigan? Or that Colonel before and after
Pearl Harbor. A presidential edict, issued six days after December 7,
1941, actually set up the legislation whereby licensing arrangements for
trading with the enemy could officially be granted.
Often
during the years after Pearl Harbor the government permitted such
trading. For example, ITT was allowed to continue its relations with the
Axis and Japan until 1945, even though that conglomerate was regarded
as an official instrument of United States Intelligence. No attempt was
made to prevent Ford from retaining its interests for the Germans in
Occupied France, nor were the Chase Bank or the Morgan Bank expressly
forbidden to keep open their branches in Occupied Paris. It is indicated
that the Reichsbank and Nazi
And it is important to consider
the size of American investments in Nazi Germany at the time of Pearl
Harbor. These amounted to an estimated total of $475 million. Standard
Oil of New Jersey had $120 million invested there; General Motors had
$35 million; ITT had $30 million; and Ford had $17.5 million.
At
the same time, the Du Ponts developed the American Liberty League, a
Nazi organization whipping up hatred of blacks and Jews, love of Hitler,
and loathing of the Roosevelts. Financed by Lammot and Irenee to the
tune of close to $500,000 the first year, the Liberty League had a
lavish thirty-one-room office in New York, branches in twenty-six
colleges, and fifteen subsidiary organizations nationwide that
distributed fifty million copies of its Nazi pamphlets. In September
1936, while Hitler at Nuremberg expressed his grand design for the
Four-Year Plan, the Du Ponts and the American Liberty League poured
thousands into backing Republican Alf Landon against Roosevelt in the
election. Other backers were the American Nazi party and the
German-American Bund.
