Good for you. Hopefully more Americans and Europeans see it differently in the future.


What? Your posts have made no sense. You’re trying to pretend like I’m saying America should intervene all over the place and participate in all conflicts—however that’s the opposite of what I believe.

I guess youre never going to explain how we could have easily stayed out of the Second World War?

My position is that any politician who supports sending American kids to die to stop Russia from invading Latvia or Estonia should be immediately voted out of office and then tarred and feathered.

Stop Russia?? The Russian Army would be parked on the coast of the Baltic Sea before sleepy Joe wakes from his afternoon nap. The mission would be to make them leave.

Wait so your position is that we wouldn’t respond with force to the military invasion of a NATO country?


It depends on which NATO nation. Europe is gutless and has no desire to tangle with Russia / China.

Now if it is Germany, France, England, Italy, or Spain being invaded...I’m sure even the Biden regime would act.

I don’t know what to tell you then. Alliances are not new to global politics, and they are never going anywhere.

Whatever it is that you want from our foreign policy is clearly not pragmatic and is utterly impossible. Why even discuss such pie in the sky solutions?

If you don't see it, it's not for you.

Let's see if we can activate your nugget here: You do what you did before you joined the war effort.

No 5,000 page explanation required.

American involvement in the World Wars was exactly the product of "intervening all over the place", and especially in Asia WRT WWII. If you don't get that, let's just end this conversation.

Then you don't understand the world wars at all. It's as simple as that.

This fricking guy talking about autocracies.

I’d like you to explain how we would have “kept doing what we did before the we joined the war effort” after Pearl Harbor.

I’ll await your “but we shouldn’t have imposed sanctions on Japan” or “shouldn’t have shipped war supplies to Britain” as if either of those two things actually got us into the war

More History Channel garbage.

Fueling a European dispute by siding with not one, but TWO communist powers, adding fuel to a fire that was FAR more likely to burn out prior to US involvement is not some God Ordained policy decision. The US had the opportunity to play mediator, as the most powerful and protected actor, but chose to stoke conflict at every single turn in the Pacific and Atlantic.

You might have to read more detailed histories of the war era to actually understand this.

What are you even talking about? I haven’t had a cable subscription in two decades.

True, you’ve demonstrated your vast historical knowledge in this thread so I guess I’ll differ to you

And btw, still waiting on your explanation for how the US would have avoided the Second World War.

Please educate me. I’m begging you.

These were acts of war, sorry if you can't understand that. Given your nuanced understanding of foreign policy and alliances, I'd find that shocking.

I do not find it shocking that you have again refused to answer the question.

When see someone say "if the EU didn't benefit Europe, they wouldn't have one", I should just immediately move on instead of wasting time talking about even more shite he doesn't understand.

Lol wut? Easily, all we did was help kill 200 million people by securing half the globe for Mao and Stalin, if anything we were on the wrong side.

Did not England, our staunchest ally, break from the EU?

Out of context quotes are awesome considering I said that if it wasn’t in their best interest they would ditch it, but nice non-sequitur anyways.

"how do you NOT do something?"

These are the really dumb questions that should immediately make me disengage. Enjoy your weekend.

No, you don't understand. If the war wasn't good, we wouldn't have done it!

-EU defender guy

Sarcasm aside, it's pointless arguing with a clown who thinks that exterminating huge numbers of some of the most productive people on earth in European wars, then handing the keys to genocidal commies, only to fight endless wars in the aftermath was the "last legit military action". He can't draw any meaningful connections here. He really and truly needs to believe something divine was at play in the second world war.

A lot of people felt like that after WWI too. Turned out great, of course.

And not having other countries with military and economic assets that are democracy's left on the sidelines? No one agrees with that. We are better off with like minded friends supporting us
