Montoya Rosca Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Germany was forced to pay and they tried and suffered immensely for it. France at some point took control of a region of theirs to produce goods as payment when they were defaulting. Now, when Nicaragua sued the US for supporting the Contras and the US was proven guilty, how come they were not forced to pay like the Germans? Oh good and kind Canada, where were you when injustices like these were taking place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie93 Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 The Americans already pay Nicaragua by debt service relief via the American funded IMF. https://www.imf.org/en/News/Articles/2015/09/14/01/49/pr0411 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie93 Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Canada's principle Imperialist interest in the theater is Haiti. The Canadian garment industry runs it as a sweatshop, so Canada props up a Neo-Liberal friendly subservient government, periodically sending troops. Although it has once again descended into chaos and disorder, but Canada doesn't seem poised to send troops so mostly the government doesn't want to talk about it.

War reparations were a tool to simply imply German guilt and bring its economy to its knees, as the clash of Western Empires was reaching its paroxysm. Germany was the one nation shaken the most by the Great Depression, and by a long shot. Reparation payments were impossible to pay, so the government printed a lot of money, which caused the hyperinflation we all know about. It ultimately lead to Hitler, who was eventually defeated, and it ended the German Empire by splitting it in half, and then Germany was never a threat to the other Empires of Europe.

So why doesn't Canada and Europe do something similar so that the US won't be a threat anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Canada and Europe belongs to the US. The US has bases in Germany to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And could they do something about it, when the US spends more than the top 7 other countries in the world when it comes to military expenditures. And the occupy the lands.

Western countries, at least. The US didn't 'lose' to Nicaragua. So Nicaragua can't force them to do anything. Nicaragua is, however, free to go back to being a socialist shithole, which is what it is now in the process of doing.
