Probably the same as always, but with modern technology and communication, you just hear about all of them now..
back in the day, travelers would just have to come back with stories.. months, even years after the fact.. if it all

If you knew anything at all about U.S-Philippine relations then it wouldn't come as such a surprise to you that a U.S military base in Okinawa has sent 80 marines down there to help with logistics, and that a base in Manila has sent relief supplies from one end of the archipelago to the other.
Meanwhile, 'the EU has announced it will commit €3m for immediate emergency relief in the worst affected areas of the Philippines, and will coordinate relief operations with national and local authorities and humanitarian partners. The US has also reportedly set aside $100,000 for relief supplies and tonight sent some 80 marines from Okinawa to Manila in order to help the Philippines army with logistics.' http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/n ... 1f62c72d91
And Britain has agreed to donate an initial £6m in aid.
$100,000? What's that? A days wages for Obama?
As for 'haters', what do you mean? Are you referring to those of us who criticize the U.S government and it's foreign policies? Does that mean that we hate America in your well-thought-out scheme of things?
Oh, and I'm not from China. Keep up the good work!
Haters? Yeah right, feeling the love from this post.
I guess I should not be surprised.
At least the OP got in one of the world's most heinous punctuation errors in the title. Perhaps they should send some of that aid to his area to improve basic education in the English language.
perhaps you in the UK should get on your knees and kiss our shoes for without us you losers would be speaking German as you try and convince us that soccer is a real sport. carry on.
it doesn't surprise me at all since we ALWAYS send aid in these types of situations.
only reason I posted this because every other thread about the US on here is now horrible we treat the rest of the world. sorry if I get tired of the one sidedness of that. sue me
Off topic but soccer is a real sport in fact it's the MOST popular sport in this world. The US does provide great help around as we should because we have the means to do so. We also cause much mayhem in countries around the world to further our agendas, I gather both circumstances washes themselves out.

I think before you spout off anymore about how your the world saviour's ... especially WW2 you should do a little reseaerch ... once again many countries played an important role in ending that war ...

Gee, you've really proved me wrong with your barely literate, historically inaccurate, xenophobic ranting.
The Russians being among the many who played an essential role in defeating the Germans.

And you don't think you'd be talking German had you not joined forces with other countries to assist with the war efforts? Americans- with their poor use of the apostrophe- would be eating bratwurst instead of bacon had they sat idle while other countries were getting busy fighting tyranny.
Come to think of it... that scenario is not likely. The anti-German coalition without the US would likely have been enough- it just would have taken longer to declare victory.
These types of comments remind me of the narcissistic parent of a kid on a sport team that wishes to attribute all the credit for a team's victory towards their child.
BLAST !!!!!!!!

"...I changed by not changing at all..."
this is very true, we Canadians for a country with a small population had a million join the military in WW2. But so many countries played a role, not just the US, Russia, UK or Canada but all countries played a role.
"Life Is What Happens To You When Your Busy Making Other Plans" John Lennon
Nope. Just US.
More love. You're on a roll, dude. :roll:
personally, i like the fact that i live in a country that, when called upon, helps other countries in the time of natural disasters.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
All nationalities
"...I changed by not changing at all..."
Statements otherwise are in part why the rest of the world thinks us a laughingstock.
Such individuals who spout such bullshit, speak for themselves only.
There are two people who posted here all the time before pay to post came to life. Muiren77 and SunsRival. THEY live there and I expect have been greatly affected by this. Thoughts and prayers, please, for those two ,their families and all affected by natures fury.
If you chose to do so, donate if you can to a charity that best suits you and your beliefs that may have a hand in helping over there.
Thank you.

"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
It's hard to quantify foreign aid. From what I've seen, the US government scores highest in total aid contributions, but below average per capita...Per capita private donations are near the top....which to me suggests a correlation with taxation that might place the US overall as an average contributor. I'm also fairly certain that taken as percentage of GDP, the US is last amongst developed countries...
Now...should we look at a net result of US foreign policy?
You post this like some kind of trump card in a personal vendetta against Byrnzie, and a testament to 'murca's superiority over China? :? weird...
Then, to top it off...you downplay the role of allied soldiers in WW2, on the holiday most of those countries have set aside to remember their vets? :roll:
classy.
I always thought we do it simply because it is the right thing to do... as humans, for humans.
...
I guess I was wrong.
Hail, Hail!!!
I didn't realize this forum was only for bashing the USA. it's a daily occurrence on here. what's wrong with pointing out what we do (have done) right over the years? I didn't say we were perfect or we don't do some shitty things in the world but sometimes I get tired of the put downs. sometimes it's good to show some of the bashers that not everything about this country sucks or is wrong. sue me for that.
Calling people "haters" is no better than criticizing (or as you call it, "bashing") a country. We're people, the country is a concept. And if you spend a little more time here you'll see that some very good things are said about the world (including the U.S.) we share- this is, after all, a world-wide forum.
Or perhaps not, considering that the U.S did fuck all until December 1941, other than to blackmail Britain out of a large proportion of it's colonial assets, in return for allowing shipments across the Atlantic. Also, it was the Russians who defeated the German army, not the U.S, so if us Brits owe thanks to anyone, then we owe it to them.
Oh, and it's called football, not soccer. Only Americans call it soccer, and the game that you call football is played with your hands. Go figure.
Keep up the good work! You're doing a great job.
I've not read 'The Shock Doctrine', but I'm sure that those here who have may have something to say about this.
Yeah, and the Russians destroyed the German 6th Army at Stalingrad, destroyed most of what was left of the German war machine at Kursk, captured Berlin, and liberated Auschwitz. Also, 9 out of every 10 German soldiers killed in the war were killed on Russian soil.
But then, most Americans don't even know that Russia was involved in WWII, and the words Stalingrad, Kursk, and General Zhukov, mean nothing to them.
