  • Phew, thank God

  • Republicans only serve the wealthy who can afford to buy them. Democrats do the same thing that is why I do not trust either political party. They are both responsilble for the sad state this once great country is in. The people are partly responsible also for electing and reelecting these enthicl morons. Wake up, Clean up, and Wise up people the revolution is coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I am so glad this pig is off the air!

  • Killing these kids Everybody was running away from the madness(if youve ever watched blacks go wild you know what i mean). I walked up and fired in the air twice(i still had 6 rounds left and more in my coat) and you never in your life saw a Tarzan movie like thisthey scattered in every direction but it saved these kids life and a judge agreed. anyway the point i am making is you should have seen all the limp wristed,spineless running for cover behind me when they saw i had that gun typical wimp

  • Ahhhh, MSNBC becomes irrelevant as it once again bites off it's mouth to make itself palatable to yet another Murdoch property (COMCAST)

  • This was the best countdown ever!!! A countdown to the end of an asshole and his meager show, Obama puppet, and a George Soros ass kissing !!!!!!!

  • @snackmachines You're gonna be disappointed but Olbermann is back on TV, has been for a few weeks now...sorry for the interruption,. You repukes can go back to ass kissing the Koch Brothers and Grover Norquist..

  • keith cum sukk on my chile

  • If something is repeated often enough, it becomes the "truth", whether it is or isn't.

    why let anyone do your thinking for you? Inform yourselves, there's a lot of bs out there.....read everything!

  • Ha ha another liberal goes down. I love how they like to tell everyone how smart and "progressive" they are. Lets look at some of their sophisticated ideas they champion:two men sucking each others penis after having it each others butt, woo how suave or killing 8 month old babies in the mother,or instead paying children and crackheads 1500 a month to have more babies;go figure, and dont forgetespousing illegals to pour into our country and then be allowed med,driving and voting;wow howcoolto be

  • @31531552=Bitch

  • @31531552 - Typical clueless conserviTURD (Olbermann is back on TV, has been for a few weeks now), showing his obsession with man-on-man sex...yeah, with "citizens' like you, this nation doesn't need enemies.

  • @broadjumper1 Ha ha..back on tv, whats he doing now MTV?

  • @31531552 - More than can be said for a turd you pinheads all seem to love, Glenn Beck.

  • @broadjumper1 What a limp wrist you are hey did you know one reason of many he was shown the door was he would pee his pants most nights under the desk and during commercials a crew would have to run in and try and clean the stinch as fast as possible..typical limp wristed liberal. I was outside a mall one night here in Charlotte and a melee broke out with about 25 black thugs kicking and beating 3 white kids I went to my car and pulled out my mossberg 12 gauge.they were close to killing these

  • @31531552 - Wow, you mean to tell everyone you're a REAL HERO? Now tell us why Glenn Beck was shown the door? His tears cause too many electrical short circuits?

    What your Rambo fantasy has to do with Olbermann is anyone's guess, but don't blame Liberals because you're too fucking stupid to move outta the Carolina sticks, Cletus...but if you leave, how ever would your cousins tell their kids that daddy left?

    You're just a typical hillbilly who thinks his guns makes for what he's "lacking"

  • Keith Olbermann leaving MSNBC was the best thing that could have happened to that network. Now if they could boot Rachel Maddow too, maybe their network wouldn't suck so bad.

  • how do i upload videos from his show?

  • when the revolution is over, there is no use for revolutionaries

  • @cobraman96 There's an old saying. "Don't bite the hand that feeds you" and that what middle class conservatives are doing. Conservatives don't give a fuck about you. They are EMPLOYED by the rich. Liberals created social security, medical care, etc. Liberals fight for the middle class. CONservatives ONLY work for the rich. Wake-up!!!!!

  • @pjmgame Hey stupid<All the social programs are broke,Could u be any dumber?Too many people milking the system.We are forced to pay into social security and i will be damned if im gonna let broke dicks take all my hard earned money and me not get mine!!If the federal government let me opt i would do it in a heartbeat.Here is an old saying,Socialism only work until you run out of other peoples money....Btw 59 trillion dollars of iou's that they so called borrowed from ssi that will never pd back.

  • @pjmgame Btw i am a hard working tax payer...so take ur own advice you new york libtard.

  • @cobraman96 So am I. You think ONLY Conservatives pay taxes???? Are you fucking stupid? Liberals pay taxes too you moron. CONservatives ONLY fight for the rich. Look what the bastards did in Wisconsin. They took away Union's rights. YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE CLASS!!!! Don't you fucking get it? Support the people that support you.

  • @pjmgame stfu stupid! Enough w/the CONservative..You act like you're 15.The differance liberals want more revenue to the federal government...as long as its someone elses money.Even warren buffet says his tax rate is to low,yet he doesn't send in extra and he takes all the deductions he can.I think the government needs to spend less just like i do.Socialism works well until you run out of other peoples money.

  • @pjmgame Keep my information and write me when your'e 40 plus...i will accept your apology then for your liberalism.

  • Respond to this video...  Countdown till he is fired again...lmfao

  • @pjmgame How many truck drivers,coal miners has obama had in the white house?NONE! The man has never had a job.And don't give me that community organizer bullshit either. And why don't we discuss how nobama gave our tax dollars to brazil's national oil company along w/the rights for deep water drilling in the gulf of mexico??Also what about george sorros?This man obama is a fraud.He is tearing down america to rebuild to his own liking(socialism).

  • @cobraman96 First off Obama is a MODERATE!!!! Second off, if you believe Obama is a socalist then you're fucking nuts!!!! Obama a socialist? Are you fucking kidding me the man has kept leaning right since he's been in office. The Left is mad as hell at him.

  • Respond to this video... You stupid yankees think the whole country revolves around new york city,,,Fuck new york! There is thousands of miles of country and normal red blooded americans that don't marry same sex and fight for rights of illegal immigrants.And also i am and union worker and i took a 15% pay cut...And so suppose to stand w/those spoiled teachers while the state is going broke?i took a pay cut and people living off my tax dollars won't give one thin dime to help out?

  • @pjmgame Social security is a ponzi scheme that is going broke.MORON!

  • @pjmgame Nobody fights for the middle class. Liberals don't. Conservatives don't. Nobody does. Republicans are seen as evil, and I don't disagree with much of that. But anybody who thinks liberals are the heroes of anything are just under-informed. Both sides make me want to vomit. This great country is so fucked it ain't even funny.

  • @alp77c08 Wrong. FDR created social programs. FDR was a Liberal. Abolitionists formed to end slavery in the US. Abolitionsts were Liberal. The Civil Rights movement was a liberal movement. Theodore Roosevelt was Liberal. The people who give a damn about others are best defined as Liberals.

  • @pjmgameThe word "liberal" as an adjective can be used for anything. The liberals of then and the liberals of now are worlds apart. Apples and oranges. Both sides suck, period. Anybody who thinks their "one side" is right and true is just fucked in the head. You'll never be able in a million years that the democratic party of yesteryear and the one today have any similarities or should be seen in the same regard. And if you're going to throw something my way, use an argument from the last 50 yrs

  • @pjmgame First of all, get off your high horse. Secondly, use an example from the last 50 years. Democrats of then and Liberals of now are apples and oranges... they're not even CLOSE! People who give a damn about others are best defined as Liberals? Get a clue dude! I work two jobs, I give to charities, I've volunteered at soup kitchens and abuse shelters. Am I a liberal? Technically, no. Unenrolled is what I am, because like I said, both sides suck the big one. Don't buy into what tv tells u.

  • @alp77c08 Look around you. When have you've seen a Conservative figure donate to charity? Never. When have you seen a Liberal celebrity donate to charity? All the time. You are in the middle class and you 're brainwashed by the Conservative media. They will use SCARE TACTICS to make you vote for them. Look what happened in Wisconsin. The conservative governor took away union's rights. You are the way you are because America is in a shithole.

  • @pjmgame Don't you fucking dare tell me what I think and what I know. I'm not a fucking republican, and I'm certainly not a fucking democrat. You are so off base it's comical. I could care less what celebrity gives what to where, and how they think about politics. I don't care! Liberal celebrities... Dude, get a fucking clue. Seriously. You sound like a sniveling douchebag who's already been brainwashed, and who thinks their opinon is the only right one. Grow up, SCARE TACTICS.

  • @pjmgame Hey you forgot what other things liberals gave us, or was that etc. just too painful to list.. So lets give liberals all the credit they deserve: liberals give us open borders and welcome mats to illegals that fill every dr office and hospital fro LA to NY, and kill our kids(google illegal immigrant murder rate, dumb ass), and dont forget welfare that has helped bankrupt us and turned our big cities douwntowns into 3 world war zones with crack babies all grown up roaming streets, child

  • @31531552 The only "legals" are native americans. Europeans STOLED their land in the first place. They KILLED and RAPED INNOCENT human-beings. Native Americans are the only "legal" americans. Also immigration DOES NOT cost jobs. Look at you're goods. What is written on it? MADE IN CHINA. All of our jobs are in countries like China where the corporations can get cheaper labor. I suggest you check out Ralph Nader.

  • @Zoetrope41 What does it matter? As long as he does, it'll make a lot of people happy.

  • @Zoetrope41 I don't get it, who are you going against here? "olberdouche"? Well i guess that put him his place. he's probably at home crying in his 12 room mansion as we speak.

    He's coming back, you realize this?

  • @Zoetrope41 I'll repeat it again: I agree that he's biased against Republicans, but that's like saying humans are biased against the devil. Well duh, no shit! At the very least his schtick isn't to ram his stories with lies, propaganda, and fearmongering. instead the uses facts, quotes, and statistics to back up his exquisite arguments.And as far as we're concerned, you're the only hypocrite for trying the devil himself.

  • @Zoetrope41 No, I like Keith Olbermann, and anyone with at least HALF a brain, would be disagreeing with complete jackasses. This isn't right wing or left wing allegiance, it's not allegiance to mac or pc, here, it's IDIOTS he's always going off about. I'd say he's right about 99.9% of the time vs 99.9% of the time O Reilly and his asshole buddies at Fox Noise are WRONG. Seriously, it's like arguing with a Hitler Sympathizer.

  • @Zoetrope41 when has olbermann ever tried to scare you into believing something wasn't true? O reilly and his klan of botards declared shariah law in deerborne MI....TWICE. what about Beck and his anti-Christ expert? Olbermann reports, the rest of your right wing attraction can't do that. He exposes others for doctored footage.

  • goodbye jackass

  • @tommag82 Countdown Returns... June 20 @ 8pm on Current TV , Make sure you tune in and show your support....

  • John and Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and now Keith Olbermann...why does the man always have to keep down Lefties who have the guts to speak out?

  • It is a shame that MSNBC let Olbermann go. That guy really knew how to take left wing propaganda and turn it into a three ring circus. The conservative forces in America lost a potent mouthpiece in Keith. Oh well, I'm sure he will do well in the mental home too.

  • @greensucksbluerules AMEN BRO!

  • THANK GOD THIS GUILTY WHITE LIBERAL PIECE OF SHIT IS OF THE AIR! ROT IN HELL

  • @greensucksbluerules I agree that he's biased against Republicans, but that's like saying humans are biased against the devil. Well duh, no shit! At the very least his schtick isn't to ram his stories with lies, propaganda, and fearmongering. instead the uses facts, quotes, and statistics to back up his exquisite arguments.

  • @erik4727 You're too stupid too insult jagoff

  • @ItNice26 I wish I was as clever and witty as you to be able to come up with those insightful comebacks.

  • @greensucksbluerules Reality and facts are not a bias, they're every Republicans vain. As an independent, ive seen how this is entirely true.And no, Olbermann can't have people on his show because he's not contracted to do that, not because he's "a dickless pussy"

  • @greensucksbluerules What the FUCk are you talking about? can you point to one instance where he's gotten it blatantly wrong? because i cant. but i can sure as hell show you hundreds of videos where billy invites guests to his show to do nothing but silence and berate them with fabricated lies and propaganda. thats billy's schtick. Olbermann's nothing but a truth dealer, and a lot of people in the US hate that.

  • @erik4727 OLBERMANN SUCKS BUT YOU SUCK MORE

  • @jfsgro Olbermann is a class act

  • @greensucksbluerules But you see the difference is, Olbermann has it right on every account. Billy has it wrong incessantly and has built an empire on his lies and thuggery. They're both very verbose ill give you that, but Olbermann hands down wins by default.

  • Keith was the best thing going for MSNBC. I guess since the network was bought out it has changed more to a right center reporting outfit.

  • @Damien81ful MSNBC is RIGHT of center? REALLY? Maddow is such a Neocon! lol

  • @Damien81ful What??? Damien, did you learn how to tell left from right from George Bush Jr??? Here's the way it is: Democrats and MSNBC are left of center. Republicans, Tea Baggers and FOX are right of center. Another way to remember: Righty tighty and Lefty loosey... Hope this clears things up a bit for you.

  • 0:00

  • You know what Keith Olbermann and Glenn Beck have in common? Both came out of stupid non-political jobs (Keith as a sportscaster and Beck as a morning zoo dj) and tryed to make themselves out to be heros to both sides of political spectrum, but little do they know that they are still major douches

  • Keith who ?

  • We needed this man more than anything on television. It's a sad day in hell when Keith Olbermann has to abdicate while the likes Bill O' and Beck still get to spew their bullshit and political rhetoric.

  • @erik4727 FUCK OFF AND DIE YOU GUILTY WHITE LIBERAL PIECE OF SHIT CUNT

  • better get your shine-box, bitch!

  • Any one else notice that NBC took at shoot at Keith for their failing streak? LOL "MSNBC thanks Keith for his integral role in MSNBC's success." they are failing so they are blaming a large part of that on Keith. Which isn't fair since they were the ones who hired him in the first place.

  • Farewell Keith, we will miss you!

    Perhaps you will land on your feet somewhere else. I understand that Al Jazeera television is hiring anti-American newscasters. Or maybe you can submit your resume to a TV network in Libia, they are going threw a transition period now, but i am sure once they are back to normal they will continue reporting the news just like you like it ONE SIDED AND IN FAVOR OF GOVERNMENT RULE.

  • @sexycarln hahahahahahaahah "Al Jazeara one sided" that's what the bitch Hilary Clinton said. Cant agree more with you!

  • Keith who?

  • Bye Bye, Bathtub Boy.

  • it was important to you to insult me. case rested.

  • It's difficult to name the worst person on that cable network, Ed is a pig, Rachel is just plain stupid, but Keith was the King of Assholes. Bye-Bye

  • @vistula7 And Rush Limbaugh is a stupid pig who incites violence and extremism. It's sad that you can't at least see through the vail of propaganda, but in the end that's what Beck, Hannity and Rush are counting on, they believe you're not SMART enough to see through their crap. Yes, they think you're too stupid to see through their propaganda. I think they take you for granted.

  • @imaginativelads Goddam America! Not God Bless America! as quoted by the Saviors Pastor. And yet the Savior NEVER was influenced by Rev. Wright, yet all of Limbaugh's listeners are incited to violence by Limbaugh..of course you can't really name specifics, regarding the "violence" you can just make that statement and not get challenged.

    It sounds pretty arrogant to me, but then a liberal being thoughtful and having the capacity NOT to be a hypocrit is pretty standard. 

  • @floatpool On July 27, 2008, a politically motivated fatal shooting took place at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee,United States. Motivated by a desire to kill liberals and Democrats, gunman Jim David Adkisson fired a shotgun at members of the congregation during a youth performance of a musical, killing two people and wounding seven others. They found Books by Bill O Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and MIchael Savage at his home. YOU LOSE AGAIN ANAL HAMPSTER!

  • @floatpool Your credibility is no longer in tact and with that, you may leave OUR country now or eventually we will force you out!

  • @floatpool NO MORE COMPROMISES no more dialogue YOU GOT THAT SCUMBAG! We no longer recognize humanity.

  • @imaginativelads So you're listening to Olbermann, and MSNBC and the liberal media, and now you're threatening me..well I guess if you bust some caps on me, you'll lose your liberal anti gun, peace and love, sex drugs and rock and roll good time oldies certification..then what? Wait, you have no credibility anyway, so I'm not that worried. I wonder what Bill Ayers was reading when he tried to blow up the Pentagon? I guess your mom was pro-abortion you're proof she had one.

  • @floatpool LOOK EVERYONE! floatpool has a TURD in it! You must be an example of what happens when the fetus doesn't get enough oxygen. Right wing ELITIST SCUM TARDS!!! Until now we have been passive, but you are NO LONGER going to receive a get out of jail free card! Stop using our great nations flag for toilet paper whenever things don't get your way. ConservaTARDS are TRAITORS and will be treated as VERMIN AND FILTH. Again, THERE WILL BE NO COMPROMISES!!! You effete faggoty right wing TURD!

  • @imaginativelads you need help. tell your mommy to sell the computer and get you back in the psych ward..she can ask them to decorate it just like the basement where you live. Now put down the computer and child porn and step away.

  • @vistula7 i really cant belive that anyone who would call keith an asshole would allow o'rielly to slide for the same thing he is the most uncivilized neandeerthal on tv

  • See ya you dispicable piece of shit oberman!!!

  • You Sir are FIRED !!!!

  • don't let the door hit you, Keith.

  • awwwwwwwwwwww, Keith says goodbye to all 27,000 people that watch him...pathetic!

  • Look ilyynncolli1, I do what I can to bring an enlightened argument to the hypocrites in the "family values" party. Thanks for your recognition of my work, and " classic," why yes I suppose you could say that. 

  • @imaginativelads You are a credit to the progressive movement. Your wit, your elan, your cutting edge commentary, You should be counted among the ranks of the great progressive orators of our era.

  • @llyynncollnn1 Again, I do what I can, as for you, well, you teach.

  • olberMAN, keep it up!!!!!! DO STUFF FOR LIBS!!! WE'RE are LOOKING.

    IQ > 100 IS WHOM YOU ATTRACT!!!!!

  • Adios Pendejo !

  • YouTube is f#^king up tonight, so I'll try this another way.

    There's a moronic comment by llyynncollnn, who claims that without the U.S., the Middle East would still be run by the Ottoman Empire.

    The Ottoman Empire was dissolved after World War ONE -- which was some 50 years BEFORE the U.S. decided that it had a "right" to interfere, on behalf of its oil interests.

    Learn about the Treaty of Versailles.

    And finish high school.

  • @wfmkk WW1 was between Germany,Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire on one side and Russia,France the UK and the USA on the other.The US did not enter the war till April 1917,by then the Russians had already pulled out due to the Revolution at home.Germany had switched to new tactics and was winning the war.England and France pleaded with Wilson to join the war to keep them from losing.Had the US not joined the Ottoman Empire would have been on the winning side and not been dissolved.

  • @llyynncollnn

    The United States caused the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire??? LOL ... Holy American exceptionalist myopia, Batman!

    History is not just a series of dates; it's about evolving and overlapping processes -- such as the end of colonialism. By the end of the 19th century, the Ottoman Empire was already on the verge of collapse. WW1 simply finished it off -- long before the U.S. became heavily involved in Middle Eastern politics.

    You original comment remains ridiculous.

  • @wfmkk It was also NOT the treaty of Versailles that dealt with the fate of the Ottoman Empire, That treaty was with Germany and not her allies.The Ottoman Empire formally ended on July 24, 1923,under the Treaty of Lausanne. It was succeeded by the Republic of Turkey which was officially proclaimed on October 29,1923.Following the breakup of the Ottoman Empire the French and British (under the league of nations,and later the UN) preceded in creating the modern states of the Middle east.

  • @wfmkk I have a degrees in History and Political science from the University of Washington. I'm WAAAAYYYYYY past high school history class. maybe you should learn about your subject before you start lecuring me to read about a treaty that didn't have anything to do with the Ottomans.

  • @llyynncollnn

    Actually, it was the Treaty of Sèvres that dealt with the aftermath of the Ottoman defeat, but I'll accept your correction. It would be wrong, however, to claim that the Treaty of Versailles "didn't have anything to do with the Ottomans" -- because that treaty did address German economic interests within the Ottoman Empire.

  • @llyynncollnn

    Your degree apparently didn't give you a full understanding of WW1. Maybe you dig out your textbooks and review.

    The fiasco at Gallipoli was a highlight for the Turks, but their fortunes went sour in 1916 with the Arab Revolt. (Ever heard of Lawrence of Arabia?) Your proposition that a German victory in France would have secured a Turkish victory in the Middle East is bogus.

  • @wfmkk The treaty of Sevres dealt with the partitioning of the Empire and the creation of the state of Syria.The movies hyped the importance of the revolt and didn't show the reality that it was the British army that won just about every battle.The Arab revolt was a factor in Saudi Arabia, a argument can be made that Saudi Arab would have successfully rebelled,but not the rest of the middle east.Had the Allies not been attacking Turkey directly they would have crushed the revolt.

  • @wfmkk And without US involvement in the Western front the UK would have abandoned the fight against the Turks to focus on defending the French front. The Turks would have then been free to send their main army (1 million strong) east against the now abandoned Arab revolt. The Turks would have crushed them like they had the previous revolts and the modern Middle east would never have been created.

  • @llyynncollnn

    "The modern Middle east would never have been created."

    Right. Never. You're so full of it.

    I don't have time to dissect your armchair bullshit right now, but I'll be back.

  • @wfmkk The Modern states of Turkey,Syria,Iraq,Jordan,Leban­on,Saudi Arabia and Israel are a direct result of the Allied victory in WW1.England and France would have lost without US involvement.When they won they gained Territorial control of the region and drew the boarders of those nations.The people would still exist but the geopolitical framework dominating the middle east would likely be much different. There would be no Israel for starters and likely none of the other states either.

  • @llyynncollnn

    Turkish forces were defeated in the Middle East before the full impact of U.S. involvement in the war. The collapse of Russia allowed the Germans to transfer about one million troops to the Western Front, where the Germans launched a massive attack BEFORE the Americans had arrived. Yet the British withstood the German onslaught without transferring its relatively SMALL number of troops from the Middle East.

  • @wfmkk Still waiting for you to set me straight.

  • @llyynncollnn1

    Yea, that's it, loser, ass. Think for the society, not through manipulation through money or communism......wait (zomg.....lightning bolt) it's called a socialist effot!!!!!

  • @maestroanth Huh? socialist effot??? are you drunk? what are you babbling about?

  • @wfmkk Still waiting.

  • @llyynncollnn

    Baghdad, Mecca, Medina, Gaza, and even Jerusalem were also taken by the British expeditionary forces BEFORE the Americans had a significant number of troops on the Western front.

    You theories are nothing more that American exceptionalist bullshit.

  • Correction: YOUR theories ...

    Britain defeated the Turks in Iraq with a force of only 166,000 men. British troops entered Baghdad on March 11, 1917 "amidst celebrations of the local Arabs."

    turkeyswar. com/campaigns/ mesopotamia2.htm

    Losing Baghdad was a "psychological catastrophe" for the Ottoman Empire.

  • The Turks lost Mecca on July 9, 1916.

    In Palestine, the British had a force of only 88,000 men, but that still outnumbered the Turks by at least 4 to 1. The British occupied Jerusalem on December 11, 1917.

    Beyond these dates is the overriding concept that colonialism was on its way out, and the Ottoman Empire was already in its overextended death throes. Arabs were revolting all over the place, disrupting the empire's ability to wage war.

    WWI also led to the dissolution of Britain's empire.

  • @llyynncollnn

    By the time the U.S. landed significant numbers of troops in France, the Turkish army was a defeated force.

    turkeyswar. com/campaigns/palestine3.htm

    "Soldiers do not have summer uniforms and suitable underwear. They simply wrap their naked bodies with worn-out pieces of old clothes.... Turkish units were getting weaker and weaker."

    Your idea that the Turks could have driven the British out of the Middle East in the absence of Americans in France is LAUGHABLE.

  • @wfmkk Yes but those victories were when the Ottomans and Austro-Hungarians were also fighting Russia. After Russia pulled out those troops were free to move either east or west. Had the US not entered the war the British and French the war would have ground on for several more years and likely ended either in a stalemate or a German/Ottoman/Austro victory. The British would have been forced to give back it's gains. The USA kept England/France from loseing and thus doomed the Ottoman Turks.

    WRONG. The Russians stop fighting a full year before the Turks were defeated in Palestine.

  • And you're still ignoring the relative troop amounts. (Are you challenged with numbers?) Look at the numbers of troops on the Western Front. MILLIONS. Look at the numbers in the Middle East.

  • @wfmkk Yes but by that time the impact of Americas presence in the war had already been felt. Among military historians it is a widely held belief that had the USA not entered the war it would have either become a stalemate or a allied defeat, with the German/Astro/Ottoman side gaining economic and colonial territorial concessions at the very least the Ottoman and Astro-Hungarian empires would have survived perhaps not to the present day but longer at least.

  • @wfmkk I'm not saying the USA went to war thinking about the middle east. The middle east was a backwater nobody cared about at the time. What I don't understand is your reluctance to accept that the USA's entrance into WW1 set off a chain of events that is still taking place today. It's not about America being exceptional (which in many ways she is) but rather a matter of the actions of the past impacting the present. Do you even know why I mentioned the Ottoman Empire in the first place?

  • @llyynncollnn

    Your silly argument is that U.S. troops in France in 1918 could somehow prevent the Turks from being defeated in 1917.

  • Did the brave American doughboys prevent the Turks from using their new time machine? Is that it?

  • @wfmkk Think WW2 if Germany had invaded England would the British troops in the Pacific continued to fight the Japanese or would they abandon the colonies to defend the homeland? Similar idea,The war with the Turks was secondary to the Western front. The Brits would have been forced to abandon the war against the Turks to focus their efforts against Germany. Without the 600k US troops and the billions in loans the outcome would likely been different.

  • @llyynncollnn

    Nope. German victory was not a possibility. You have no evidence to support your fringe theory, and you conveniently ignore evidence that the Ottoman army was already starting to collapse in late 1917. You also still don't seem to grasp the fact that the diversion of ~100k British troops to the Middle East was not essential to the Western Front (with >1,000,000 troops) -- even without American loans.

    Your understanding of history seems to be corrupted by ideology.

  • @wfmkk Your the one trying to change history.The USA DID join the war against the Ottomans,the Ottomans DID lose the war,the French and the Brits DID gain territorial control of the Middle East and drew the boarders of the modern states Therine.Thus the USA did aid in the destruction of the Ottoman Empire and the creation of the Modern Middle East.Those are historical FACTS, the coulda,shoulda woulda's are supposition.Again I ask do you know why I mentioned the Ottoman's in the first place?

  • @llyynncollnn

    Nope. The United States was never at war with the Ottoman Empire.

    And your loopy theory about the U.S. indirectly making the critical difference in the outcome of the war in the Middle East is a failure. The entire British force in the Middle East was less than the number often killed in only one week on the fields of France.

  • @wfmkk You can try to reshape history all you want, but the FACTS are that The USA influenced the outcome of WW1.That war gave the UK and France control of the Middle east and they drew the boarders to every major state in the region and thus created the modern Middle east. I have asked several times if you even know why I mentioned it in the 1st place? but you never seem to answer that one? also I'm still not sure why the concept of the USA playing a important role(unintentionaly) bothers you?

  • A kid gutting pissed off and shooting his classmates may be terrifying to those involved but unless there is a larger goal of changing some sociopolitical aspect of society it doesn't rise to the level of terrorism.........Ok that piece of narrative is totally on the social side of terrorism, which is terrorism. I think you're cramming and confusing yourself, so stick to the individual aspects of terror. U.S. created and fund most of these secular groups to overthrow their dictators for years.

  • @naldokid IT doesn't matter when,why or who funded them?What matters is that they use terrorists tactics.If you give guns and bombs to a group of Amish to help them spread their message they wouldn't use them because they ARE a religion of peace that doesn't use violence to spread their message.The vast majority of terrorists today blow people and buildings up in the name is Islam.That is a FACT,if you have a problem with me pointing this out,maybe you should try to get them to stop doing it.

  • @llyynncollnn1 Christains are no different too, they are bomb and killed innocnet victims in the name of christain also. Western super oower are so hypocritical and baised with their one track mind and beliefs that they failed to see what they have in common with extremist. Extremism exist in every religion on earth, from northern Ireland, New Zealand, Austrailia, Germany most of the Soviet block countries.

  • @llyynncollnn1 The CIA who have been meddling in middle east affairs for decades, by instigating wars with secular groups throughout the middle east, funding a group to overthrow its governments. When that group overstays its welcome it'll be force out again with the USA intervention by another group and so on! All of that along with the fact that the USA negativity towards all things Muslim = Terrorism... At some point we've got to repeal our foreign policy on being world police for everyone.
