Is the US screwing third world countries like the Philippines?

[omad]

---

some quotes by a fellow Istorya member, istoryador, pointing out that the US is screwing third world countries like the Philippines. is it true or not? if so, kindly state examples and why. if not, explain how and why the US, or any other country for that matter, is not to blame with how we, as a country, are in this deep hole of helplessness right now.

let's not make this topic a circus ok

These terrorism activity by arab militants and bin laden group all over the world is just a reaction to the greed of USA. The U.S. practically controls everything in the world and no country is brave enough to challenge it rest it would risk annihilation.

This is karma for Americans who for 100 years have been controlling the economies of the world especially in the Third World, including RP. What iam saying is that America should reflect what it had done to the rest of the world to be hated so much.

Its greed. You should also wake up that the U.S. is screwing your country, the Philippines.

haha....ngano god tawon pasanginlan ang US sa situation sa PH karon......obvious man cgoro unsa ang reason....

[omad]

^^same here. I still can't connect the pieces to the puzzle re this issue. maybe istoryador can directly link -- convincingly -- why and how the US is responsible for the Philippines' misery. 'coz in my own POV, what we are experiencing right now is greatly influenced by our own misdeeds.

iSTORYADOR or the exiled MOSIMOS aka unsa pa na doesnt know what he is talking about . Since when does the US needs to reflect its actions that cause the TERRORIST ti rise . You have no idea boy .

it is mostly because of our leaders doing why our country is now what it is.

marcos started it all and then all of the preceding leaders became corrupt 'cuz they cant when if they don't buy votes.

marcos could have made us a great nation if he choosen to.

or probably im wroing....

We cannot blame US or any country sa atong situation ron. It's our leaders whose to blame. Marcos started this mess and perhaps somewhere he is paying for what he had done (in hell). I know nga there's no future for Philippines (except Cebu) kay ang mga tawo badlungon ug ang mga politiko mga idiots. I pity the other provinces. Im sure Cebu will be the only progressive province in the entire Philippines.

Let us not blame US. Let's blame the Marcoses, Erap Estrada and all our leaders!

I don't see the USA as a culprit on our present situation,

In fact, if not for US, I might not have a satisfactory job right now... that goes to all of us working in an american company..

The blacksheeps in our society is our corrupt politician and corrupt government system.... Yep, Marcos could have been a great leader, I admire his intelligence and skills, but the problem of Marcos was probably Imelda... she inspired her to ROB the country...

Women can either led to a man's success or his downfalls....

bitaw, sala raman gyud ni sa atong mga leaders diri sa pinas kung ngano ingon ani ang ato situation karon. the US dont really have anything to do with it. what benefits would the US get if they bring the Philippines down? oil? lotsa Carabaos? delicous humba? our pretty women?

Mosimos/istoryador should read about the world history, about Communism and Muslim Extremism and its dangers and effects on other countries if left unchecked, world and local politics, and the history of our very own country.

Can you guys even imagine if the PRESENCE of the US Naval base in Subic and Air Force base in Clark if only ERAP voted for PRO ? Lets all blame it to our GREEDY selves and not to anyone else who are even trying to help .

there are a lot of angles to every story that we amy never read in history books/newspapers or any reading articles..

istoryador may have looked at one angle..pero dili kaayo siya ka elaborate due to lack of proof..

let's just respect na lang his opinion..
