Those few of us allowed to live anyway.

Without US intervention, Hitler would have soon turned the full man power and manufacturing capability of Russia against England and America. Germany already had strong foot holds in Mexico and South America.

Without Us intervention, Japan would have done the same with Chinese resources. Australia would have succumbed quickly. Japan was already building bases in Alaska and would have leap frogged those bases on to Canada and US.

That is not to say that US military excursions done since 1950 are fully justified. But we see today the effects Socialism is having on our nation, despite doing everything we could to battle that trend across the globe.

China has been drooling over our Alaskan oil reserves for decades. The only thing protecting our resources is our military capabilities.

That is the dumbest schit ever posted on this board. Hitler couldn’t even muster enough force or will to invade England BEFOREwe got into the war, but you think he was going to take three quarters of the USA.

Why don't you think about this for a bit.

Why was England able to resist Hitler's bombing campaigns for so long. And only a fool would believe that bombing was not a prelude to invasion. The Germans claimed it was a prelude to invasion. They expected a "Blitzkrieg" of Britain just as they had France, Poland, and all the rest of Europe.

England survived the beginning years of WW II solely due to American support, even though we were not fighting. We kept England alive by supplying her with everything form food to planes to tanks.

The same is true of Russia. Russia could not have held off the Germans without our Lend-Lease act. Russia was fond of proclaiming that Germany was defeated with Russian blood and American dollars.

And yes, America would have been safe, probably until about 1947, which is about how long it would have taken the
Axis powers to settle their control over the rest of the world. Then they could have turned the complete military might of Europe and Asia toward N America. What would Canada have done after Britain and the rest of the UK surrendered to Hitler?

Japan would have still had all her Battleships, Aircraft Carriers, planes, and seasoned pilots. The Manhattan Project would have not existed.. Germany would have had nukes and, as they were sharing technology with Japan, most likely Japan would have had nukes by 1947 as well.

The Trump administration stopped the southern border invasion through intervention in other countries. Biden reversed those policies.

How anyone does not know this very recent history boggles the mind but then again the 24hr Campfire has a few real slow folks who love to post their ignorance.

If anybody really wanted WWIII and MAD, we would have had it long ago.

A boomer's boomer once advised that to see peace, one must prepare for war.

If that scares you, then you need to grow up.

You don't know what you don't yet know. Boomers do know what you don't yet know.

But hey, why learn from somebody else.
Yes, the old war will give us peace bullchit. So when does this peace come? As long as the US is a thing, the world will never have peace. We create death and destruction all over the world. Been doin it long before i wqs born

We've had peace with Japan and Western Germany since 1945.

Your policies got us into the war. A brutal application of overwhelming force that didn't stop until we achieved unconditional surrender is a good part of the reason the peace has held.
What policy is mine? Not starting endless wars and stop causing chaos around the world? I like that one. You should too.

Are you not an isolationist?
I understand there are times that we would need to be involved in things around the world, so no, im not an isolationist in the long game. For the current time, we need to be more on the isolationist side of things. Our country is broken. Almost completely lost. We have so many issues here that deserves our full attention and if we dont give it, we are done. I am 100% against war with russia in any way. I dont give a chit about israel or palestine. They can sort their own chit out. China is going to be a huge problem at some point, but refer to my original point that if we dont fix our current issues here , it wont matter because we wont have a country.

We are past peak woke. America is already fixing itself.

China has more problems then you can imagine. They screwed themselves with "one child" and their property market bubble. Best case they're looking at 3 decades of stagnation, and the most likely scenario's are not that pretty.

I'm also against war and violence in general, but in detail understand it's not a matter of if, but where and how. What I'm most against is war inside, on or near America's borders. The most destructive war is the one fought inside your own borders, so we keep the wars as far from our borders as possible and outsource the bleeding when we can. Part of keeping the violence far from our shores is having allies and bases so we have global reach for our weapons and intelligence, and logistics. Let me remind you, only our carriers and submarines are nuclear powered, and even their crews have to eat.

Yes, we have our problems, but in the grand scheme, they're not as bad as you think, and it's good to hear you're not a true isolationist.

I am referencing population dynamics in the USA.

The Hispanic population is expanding fast enough to keep the Muslim population from outpacing the Christian population sooner than what it is predicted.

Either way……looking foreword to a nice bowl of goat!

Japan bombing hell out of our holdings in the Philippines, and Hawaii don't count?

How about an actual Japanese base in Alaska?

How do people forget? We took no active part in that war until we were attacked. Maybe we should have just surrendered to Japan on Dec 8, 1941?

In order to project meaningful power onto the Japanese mainland we had to construct a chain of island bases across the pacific.

Contrast that with German where we had an ally on their border until France fell, then we had one only 21 miles across the English Channel. Sure we had to defeat the U-boat menace, but we already had a launch point for Normandy.

To the warmongers who want eternal war, with anybody:

With the Proclamation of Neutrality, President Washington established a U.S. foreign policy of neutrality. In his famous 1796 Farewell Address, drafted in collaboration with Hamilton, he reaffirmed his proclamation and admonished his fellow citizens to keep neutrality a cornerstone of American diplomacy. “Our true policy,” Washington’s Farewell declared, is “to steer clear of permanent Alliances with any portion of the foreign world.” The United States continued to do just that until the mid-twentieth century.

The world is not exactly the same as it was in 1797.

Things have changed a bit and for some here it's really scary.

My point exactly.

Japan started bombing US bases on Dec 7, 1941. Six months later, June 6,1942 they attacked the Aleutian Islands. They built a base on Kiska which was the first stepping stone across the Pacific in preparation for invasion of N America.

We responded by building a base on Adak in Aug 1942, from which we attacked Kiska. The US Navy formed a blockade of Kiska and we bombed hell out of the island for almost a year before the Japanese abandoned the island.

Conversely, if England had fallen Germans could of hoped to Iceland then Greenland for their launch point into North America.

Should we have ever taken up arms against any of the Native Americans? Should we have helped the Texans against Santa Anna?
Or pushed the Mexicans out of California, New Mexico, etc?

Would you limit the US to the original 13 states?

The world was much smaller in 1945 that it was in 1780. And it is a heck of a lot smaller today than it was in '45.

Hell, even Iran or N Korea could reach us with weapons today. Appeasement won't prevent that. Sometime you have to go kill people and break things.

That said, I hope Putin dropped everything those thirteen planes could carry right on Zelensky's head. Along with any American over there helping to suck the American Treasury dry and lining their own pockets.

Poland, encouraged by the Western powers, perpetrated outrage after outrage (to include mass murder) against former German provinces (ethnically German), designed specifically to provoke Germany to invade. Sound familiar??
