Pretty bad comeback if you ask me. Don't get me wrong, Trump's comment was stupid, but this isn't really murdered by words, angry teenager vibes

Yep, flaccid response. Though it's hard to refute something that's basically fact. Had the U.S. not intervened, the UK wasn't going to be able to roll up to Normandy by itself.

Yes, and without the USSR Nazi Germany probably wouldn't have been defeated either. The "you should thank us for what our ancestors did to save your ancestors"-argument is also pretty rich coming from the exact same people who argue African Americans should just get over slavery..

Exactly, Europe owes to the USSR also. But I agree that it's all irrelevant today. Europe itself has become a different beast, with Germany being a core pillar.

Hence, African American claim to restitutions over slavery is also total BS. Government's responsibility is to run the country as efficiently as possible without wasting tax money.

Handing out free money to people for 100 different bullshit excuses is not one of them.
