Wag the dog

[kahljorn]

I don't find it particularly surprising that any single person may have decided to wage war on america after having received money from them. It's called "Betrayal" or any number of other dramatic literary cliches that fuel human behavior. So they accepted money to fight our mutual enemy at the time, Russia. Okay. Then they turned their guns on us, that happens in all kinds of fantasy novels and hollywood movies.
In a sense america did that to britain, what's the surprise. Are we jihadists now, terrorists? It's just the nature of society that people take gifts to empower themselves. It doesn't necessarily mean britain gave us money so we would destroy their armies and become an independent nation that's more powerful than they are.
