@Zeb i doubt they had a choice after surrendering during WW2. usa must have done some crazy things to keep their boot on their neck for so long and so decisively because the same thing is happening to germany and there seems to be no reversal in policies coming any time soon on their part ,while they are literally destroying their entire economy.
@Justicar It was a good run. Hope all that US government bonds they bought for decades and suppressed low interest rates were worth it.
