In conservative forums I can still hear Americans say that Greeks should be grateful for things like the US-supported junta because it “saved Greece from the commies”, even though it abolished democracy.
Heh. Sorry I know its an awful stereotype and I don’t want to offend anyone but that’s just such an American thing to do or say. Like:
“If it wasn’t for us you’d all be speaking German!”

Every time I hear such discussion a dialogue runs in my head
USA: If it wasn’t for us that nail would have never been hammered.
WORLD: It was a bolt.
USA: Doesn’t count. Still Hammered It.
That’s brilliant. I’ll remember that one.
