Thanks for the nuanced reply - I agree that, despite the clear and sweeping benefits of the Marshall plan, it did tend to give us Anglos (I’m unitedstatesian, but I appreciate the compliment regarding my interest in history <3) a bit too much of the carte blanche assumption that “we are doing the right thing” - the final form of which can be seen in both countries: the UK, with the whole Brexit idiocy and assumption that it’d be super easy to reclaim some of their former imperial glory; and the US, with the final form of our hubristic-devolving-to-toxically-narcissistic concept of “American Exceptionalism” (a sentiment, I should add, that was to a large degree based on the convenient fact of “not having large sections of our country and industrial base bombed to shit during WW2”).
Also, I do tend to accidentally write comically long and structurally baroque sentences sometimes :D
