America had every right to get involved in Europe during WWII

[JakeStarkey]

Mods, this is not about Alt Right, only America's right to get involved in WWII in Europe.

OK, picking up Lucy's nonsense. "10 MILLION Russian and Germanic troops died at Stalingrad, for what? Poland? Who co-invaded Poland? Oh that's right America's friend Josef Stalin before he switched sides because he got a better money and territory offer. ///

Well you shouldn't have got involved then, FDR ran his 1940 campaign on keeping America out of another European war, you should have just fought the Japanese in the Pacific, of course FDR knew 24 hours before that Pearl Harbour was going to be attacked he just didn't let anyone tell the American Navy at Pearl Harbour so they could get bombed and give him an excuse to get into the war."

Lucy, Hitler declared war on the USA, not the other way around. Your people were going crazy and had to be stopped.

"Stopped".

Yeah, right, maybe pass a law that prevents from saying stuff Jake doesn't like.

Brilliant.

Hillary will love ya for it little fella!

As to FDR and war? Hey, he was a Democrat. The proven Democrat method of ending a recession is to start a war. Not that taking on Hitler was a bad idea - just that the logic of why it was done when it was done should not (note, I did not say "cannot") be ignored.

FDR allowed Japan to bomb the USA because he wanted to prevent the soviets from controlling europe

Sure. Both the commanders at Pearl and in the Philippines had plenty of notice that war could happen, and they did poorly. The two schmucks at Pearl were cashiered, and MacArthur was promoted and sent to Australia.
