........................... I always wonder if the outbreak of WWII would have been contained if the US wouldn't have sat on its hands for almost 3 years and watch Europe burn before deciding to get involved. You know like supply like-minded, peaceful countries with arms and equipment to fight back the invaders?
To be fair, early on there didn't seem to be much need for us to get involved after Hitler invaded Poland. Google "The Phony War". Except for the Poles, the war didn't get really started until Spring of 1940. So it was less than two years of Europe being at War before Germany declared war on us right after Pearl harbor.

And America did help before we declared war on the Axis powers. Infact starting only three months after the invasion of Poland in September of 1939.

https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/ar ... enters-war
" ................. Roosevelt searched for ways to aid the Allies without violating American neutrality. In November 1939, he convinced lawmakers to allow American manufacturers to sell arms and supplies to belligerent nations on a cash-and-carry basis. This allowed the British to buy American goods as long as they paid up front and transported them in their own ships. The president also gave the British 50 surplus US destroyers in return for leases on small patches of British territory in the Western Hemisphere. ..........."

Then there were US Citizens and organizations sending guns and supplies to Britain, also not long after the war started.

Yes. Well not necessarily NATO per se but other countries in a much better spot that have an understanding and respect for another’s sovereignty. Ukraine obviously is not a member of NATO however most of the countries offering aid and arms are members of NATO. You get what I’m saying I think.
Yup, I do. :yes:

Need to prioritize. Civilians need to forego items so raw materials can be used for the war effort.https://twitter.com/i/status/1619560775017955329

LOL American factories' output was never taken over by the gov't in WWII.

Hitler did that late in the war. Stalin did that.
Under fascism the gov't can direct the output of factories from factory owners.
Under communism the gov't owns the factories and control their output
Under capitalism the gov't can only ask , not command.

I would presume that the gov't asked a factory owner to produce war products and the owner told the gov't to take a hike.

WMD!! WMD!!! WMD!!! Take out that evil Sadam Heusen SOB. So we go to war over this kill millions of innocent people in a foreign land that we had no business being in, topple their leader, destroy their country, and think we are the world saviors. Let us not forget Libya, Syria, and now Russia. The one common theme with all these conflicts is our US Government and the cheerleading media, convince the USA population that this is necessary and those countries and leaders are evil. Look in the mirror. We don't have to cross the ocean to find evil government. Simply look at Washington.

Before I would feed those hungry on the street, I would feed my own family. If I didn't have enough for my family, I would go without and would certainly not be feeding those on the street. Before I would help those around the world, I would help those in my own house, then on my street, then in my town.... One must know what help is. Sometimes help is actually detrimental.

Did the USA help Iraq? Afghanistan? Libya? Vietnam? We are not the bastion of an upright society.
