United States of America
United
States of America
Capital: Washington DC
Historical
Short but very bloody history.
The United States of America was created by predominately people of western European ancestry forcing the native people off their land and putting them on reservations.
Many native people of the Americas died of the diseases the western Europeans carried with them.
Many millions of slaves were brought from Africa and forced to work in the United States.
The white population in the Americas even tried to enslave the native american population.
"Indian Wars"
Trail of Tears
The United States, in its entirety, was stolen from native people. From Alaska, to Hawaii. From Maine to California.
White Americans have enjoyed the fruits of stealing the land of the native people, and the untapped resources on that land.
1775-1783 American Revolutionary War
1801-1805 First Barbary War
War of 1812- A war in which the White House and a good portion of Washington D.C. was actually burned down by the British.
1815 Second Barbary War
1846-1848 Mexican-American War. The U.S. attacks and captures a large portion of territory formerly belonging to Mexico. This territory includes the five states of California, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah and Arizona.
1856-1859 Opium Wars. British, U.S., and French forces attack Chinese forces under the Qing Dynasty in China.
1861-1865 American Civil War
1893- U.S. invasion of Hawaii
1898 Spanish American War
USS Maine Incident
1898-1934 Banana Wars
1899-1901 Boxer Rebellion. An alliance of eight imperialist nations including the U.S., Russia, Japan, France, Britain, Germany, Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire suppress Chinese forces in China.
1914-1918 World War 1

1939-1945 World War 2.
1950-1953 Korean War
1965-1966- Second U.S. invasion and occupation of the Dominican Republic.
1956-1975 Vietnam War
1964 Gulf of Tonkin Incident.
1983 U.S. invasion of Grenada- So called Operation Urgent Fury.
1989 U.S. invasion of Panama- So called Operation Just Cause. Once CIA asset and President of Panama, Manuel Noriega, was publicly known to be involved in narcotics trafficking, the U.S. government under Ronald Reagan decided it was time for him to step down. U.S forces already stationed at military bases in Panama conducted numerous exercises to condition the Panamanian military and people, so when the real attack came, the Panamanians believed it to be just another exercise. The U.S. actually tested the stealth bomber in this conflict against a nation with little aircraft and virtually no air defense. Entire blocks of houses and buildings in heavily urbanized civilian areas were bombed and destroyed by U.S. forces. Manuel Noriega was eventually captured and imprisoned.
1990-1991- "Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm" (also called the Gulf War or First Gulf War)
1991- CIA backed coup against the democratically elected Jean Bertrand Aristide. George Bush senior was president of the U.S. during this time.
1994-1995- The second U.S. invasion and occupation of Haiti. Democratically elected President of Haiti, Jean Bertrand Aristide is returned to power by U.S. forces. Bill Clinton was president of the U.S. during this time.
1991-2003- Continuous attacks on Iraqi air defense forces under the guise of a "No Fly Zone"
Iraq allows for the destruction of all chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons programs. They even allow U.N. weapons inspectors to enter military facilities and presidential palaces.
Iraq allows the U.N. to take aerial photos of key installations in Iraq by a U.S. U2 spy plane. The U2 spy plane is also flown by a U.S pilot.
Iraq dismantles all of its long and medium range missiles.
September 11, 2001- False flag attack in the U.S. allegedly done by Al Qaida under the orders of Osama bin Laden. An aircraft is allegedly flown into the Pentagon. Another supposedly crashes into an open field. While two more fly into the two World Trade Center towers, supposedly causing them to collapse. A third World Trade Center building, World Trade Center 7, also collapsed, even though it was not hit by an aircraft at all. Witnesses heard multiple explosions and the building appear to be imploding upon review of video, as if by controlled demolition.
2001- U.S. invasion of Afghanistan. Under the guise of fighting Al Qaida terrorists that were supposedly responsible for the attacks on the U.S. on September 11th 2001, the U.S. invades Afghanistan.
2004- Another coup in Haiti sends Haitian president Jean Bertrand Aristide Haitian president into exile. George W. Bush was president of the U.S. during this time.
2003-2011- "Operation Iraqi Freedom" (also called the Second Gulf War) After 12 years of economic and military sanctions, the U.S. invades Iraq anyway under the guise of Iraq being armed with "Weapons of Mass Destruction". A U.S. led army invades Iraq and destabilizes Iraq and the entire region, killing tens of thousands of people.
2012- U.S. led forces attack Libya with cruise missiles and air strikes in order to back Al Qaida ground troops. These joint NATO and Al Qaida forces succeed in taking down the regime of Moammar Qaddafi and destabilizing Libya and the entire region. During this time the U.S. media actually referred to the armed rebels in Libya as "protesters". U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice lied in front of the U.N. claiming Libyan soldiers were using crates of Viagra and raping Libyan women!
2012- The U.S. openly supports Al Qaida linked forces in Syria against the Assad regime. The Obama regime seeks to do the same to Syria as was done to Iraq and Libya before, but action at the United Nations was blocked. During a surprise visit to Syria, U.S. senator John McCain actually takes photographs with a Syrian rebel who is a notorious kidnapper.
The United States is the most built up, over militarized nation in the world.
The United States military, which is dictated by U.S. foreign policy, is very offensive in nature.
U.S. foreign policy is not created by the people, nor the congress, nor the president of the United States. U.S. foreign policy is created by small body of wealthy criminal elite, many of whom aren't even U.S. citizens.

U.S. Weapons of Mass Destruction
Nuclear Weapons
The U.S. has a large arsenal of nuclear weapons some of which it stores in certain western European nations. Estimated 5,113 nuclear warheads. This includes nuclear warheads for missiles and bombs of all types. At one time the U.S. had atomic mortar rounds, atomic cannon rounds and briefcase nuclear devices. May still posses some of these weapons.
Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM) such as the current USAF operated Minuteman III. Believed to have around 450 nuclear warheads for these missiles.
Nuclear bombs dropped from USAF bomber aircraft like the B-2. B-1, and B-52 bombers.
Believed to have around 400 nuclear gravity bombs which can be used on USAF F-16, F-15, and F-35 fighter aircraft. 350 of these bombs are stored at airbases in six western European nations. These weapons are "shared" with these European nations. These nations include Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Turkey.
B61 nuclear bombs
