The British have NEVER been our friends! Now it appears that that island nation, in league with BP, engineered this release of a monster for economic gain!
They, along with the socialist Woodrow Wilson, dragged us into WWI and due to that ridiculous and murderous war, Hitler was created and we were again dragged into WWII which helped FDR appear as to have won the war against the depression.
The Brits had help.
