Don't forget we're the good guys, everyone!
WW2 was a long time ago.
And we didn't fight it because the enemy were bad people. We fought it because we were attacked.
Yep, we don't teach in us schools the isolationist position of ww2 or the war profiteering during both ww¹ and ww² while playing the isolationist.
Between the indiscriminate chemical weapons and the nepotistic generals ordering hundreds of thousands to their futile deaths, isolationism in WW1 was still probably the right idea.
Sure but you'd have to actually be isolationist not war profiteers.
Are you saying barring Pearl Harbor the US would not have participated in WWII?
We were already participating in WW2 before Pearl Harbor. Lend-Lease was packing the UK chock full o' guns, food, and oil. The "Arsenal of Democracy" speech was 1940.
Exactly
And waited until it was already clear that the Nazis we going to lose before entering the European theatre.
And dropped two nukes just to flex its powers. Mind you those nukes were dropped at the end when it was only about time for Japan to capitulate. Killing directly and indirectly hundreds of thousands of innocents.
Don't forget the fire bombs over Tokyo, a city of mostly paper and bamboo houses, causing an exodus for innocent people.
Freedom!
