    The US would have tripped over themselves to join the Nazis and eventually ruled by the Nazis if Trump was in charge instead of Roosevelt during WW2.

      They still swing cock about saving the day meanwhile they showed up late because they were on the fence between joining and which side.

      Now they choose the other side clearly and still go watch Captain America in theatres.

        because they were on the fence between joining and which side.

        I’m pretty sure that’s not the case.

        After Japan invaded China and Germany invaded Poland, Roosevelt provided aid to China, Great Britain, and France, but the Neutrality Acts prevented the United States from becoming closely involved. After the Fall of France in June 1940, Roosevelt increased aid to the British and began to build up American military power.

        The motivation for the late US entry into the war was isolationism and not wanting to get dragged into another war in Europe, not sympathy for the Nazis.

        My mother was a British war bride from WW II. It’s been so long, but she used to go on about the Americans and how much they swindled Brits on interest and all sorts of other things with sales from the war for product from us.

        Also that the states didn’t even bother entering the war until a year or two later. Same crap, americans are always lying.

        They do, but there was a lot of complaining when they made captain America black.

        Now they choose the other side clearly and still go watch Captain America in theatres.

        And they don’t understand that Captain America would be against everything that they stand for.

      If Trump were picking a side in the civil war, it would be the side that lets him keep the slaves he most certainly would have owned.

      Had he been in charge of the Confederacy, maybe they would have surrendered a lot more quickly.

    US was lucky with George Washington during the war of independence from the British crown.

    George Washington was a hero who rejected to become Monarch of the U.S. – thereby indirectly leading us to the present world order.
