Cumhuriyet zamanında hiçbir sıcak çatışma yaşanmadı. Sadece ekonomik, ticari ve diplomatik savaşlar yaşandı ve yaşanıyor. Bu dünya menfaat dünyası.
Osmanlı zamanında Amerika ile savaştık mı???
Çanakkale savaşlarında ABD müttefik ordulara sadece lojistik destek verdi. Ama işgale gelince tüm limanlara savaş gemileri gönderdiler. Niye hiçbir tarihi resimde Amerikan asker veya savaş gemileri yer almıyor? Bu resimleri kimler niye ve ne amaçla bizden gizledi???

Bunların dışında kıs süreli gelen savaş gemilileri burada listelenmedi. Ben Amerika’nın ne kadar insancıl duygulara sahip olduğunu bildiğim için bu gemilerin istilaya gelmediğini sadece insancıl amaçlarla geldiklerini söyleyebiliyorum. Aynı IRAK, AFGANISATAN, SURİYE ve nice ülkelere insancıl amaçlarla gittikleri gibi. Bu adamlar 1789 da ABD Özgürlük Bildirgesini yazmışlar. 1955’te otobüs, tramvay, lokanta, otel, tiyatro, kütüphane, kilise hatta asansörlerde siyahların beyazlardan ayrı durmasını öngören ‘Jim Crow’ yasalarının hüküm sürdüğünü hatırlıyoruz.
