Yeah, Lindbergh was kinda right. All WW2 ended up accomplishing was to make the world safe for communism.

It’s highly unlikely the US would have declared war on Germany. In early December 1941 the American public was galvanized behind burning Japan to the ground for Pearl Harbor.

There was little, if any, willingness on the part of the public, not to mention most of the military leadership, to allow the war in Europe to distract any American effort from inflicting the full righteousness indignation upon Japan. In fact, had FDR asked for a declaration of war with Germany, there’s virtually zero percent Congress would have passed it

Hitler did FDR a favor by being so stupid and doing his job for him. FDR knew Germany was the true threat but without Hitler declaring FDR would have hell selling that to the public and government like you said. It got to the point where we didn’t want Hitler taken out because he was destroying Germany just as fast as our army could with his ridiculous battlefield decisions.

And allying with Soviet Russia turned out better?

The idea of Nazis being terrible and Soviets being terrible aren't mutually exclusive. Both can be true.

At the time of the US partnering with the USSR, the Nazis were a little more terrible though. Soviet shittiness didn't come about until a little later. I'm not gonna lose any sleep over dead nazis.

Wasn't Lindbergh a Nazi sympathizer? He would have been a big fan of Biden and the democrats.


You’re literally in a thread where the overwhelmingly conservative OT is virtually blowing the Nazis, and this is your take?

You should read This article.
From the article:
quote:

Hitler was about an inch to the right of Stalin. Western intellectuals infatuated with Marxism thus associated fascism with the Right.

Joseph Kennedy Sr - American Fascist
quote:

Joseph P. Kennedy is now firmly established in the annals of twentieth-century fascism. When he arrived in England in early 1938, he quickly found a home among the ruling elite who believed, as Susan Ronald puts it, that “fascism was the cure for communism.” Notwithstanding FDR’s unprecedented provocation of sending an Irishman with no diplomatic skills to Great Britain, Kennedy immediately sided with Prime Minister Chamberlain and the appeasers, believing that any deal with Hitler—no matter how humiliating and lethal to the lives of millions—was preferable to war. Kennedy never stopped believing that Hitler could be bought off, that businessmen could do business with fascists.
quote:

FDR understood that Hitler could not be appeased and became increasingly wary of Kennedy, but kept him in England because the President felt the Ambassador’s defeatist attitudes would demoralize the American people and undermine democratic life. Kennedy, on his leaves home, lectured FDR and said “very frankly” that the United States “would have to come to some form of Fascism here.” He did not believe Great Britain could survive a war against the fascist powers and that America would become increasingly isolated and lose control of its markets if FDR’s government did not take over control of the economy to counter Hitler’s hegemony over his capitalists. Kennedy proposed that the President “organize a small powerful committee under himself as chairman and this committee would run the country without much reference to Congress.”

Lindberg, and other Americans including Joseph Kennedy, saw what fascism had done Germany and Italy, and felt as many did that both Hitler and Mussolini had improved their countries, as did many of their countrymen. What Lindberg and Kennedy failed to understand were their expansionist desires. Lindberg was a complicated man who had a separate family in Germany. He did help the American war effort once the war started.
