The idea of a European self-help plan financed by the U.S. was proposed by George Marshall in 1947 and was authorized by Congress as the European Recovery Program.

    The entire world had knowledge of that stuff.

    1959 - Nam. You know about it.

    Nope. I know about Korea in the 1950’s and how the USA saved South Korea from the North Korean dictatorship. And I know about how in the 1960’s the USA tried to repeat that in Vietnam. Would you rather live in South or North Korea? Your welcome.
