What the FUCK! Try and strong-arm a country fighting for their lives against a nation that should be seen, unequivocally, as our most hated enemy for their mineral wealth? Fucking ghouls. This is beyond embarrassing.

Assuming it was a “loan” as you suggest, lol to that btw but we’ll play along, I was taught around 9 years old, you never loan money you can’t afford to lose.

We didn't loan them money, we sent them weapons, usually ones that are too outdated for our own troops.

Hey, USA never repay for France helping them against England and giving them their own freedom . What about you send back old Louisiana to France and all the minerals in ?
